Apparently, ‘family values’ mean different things to different people.
Ted Cruz and the “Liked” Tweet
On Monday night, Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s official account “liked” a social media post featuring three people in a sexual situation. As reported by CNN, the liked video was on a Twitter page called “Sexuall Posts.” Furthermore, the footage contained a man and a woman engaging in sexual acts with another woman watching from afar and touching herself.
However Ted Cruz’s account came to like the tweet is interesting. According to Cruz, the like was engendered by a “staffing issue” which is apparently being dealt with accordingly.
Digging Deeper
First and foremost, two elements about the “liked” tweet intrigue the majority of Americans. One, Senator Cruz has yet to come out and outright deny that he himself is responsible for liking the tweet. Secondly, Cruz is a staunchly conservative politician who frequently presents himself as a ‘family values’ man. The pornographic footage is about as far away from family values as one can possible get.
