Sen. Ted Cruz was trending on Twitter Tuesday after some strange and NSFW late-night goings-on with his verified account. The senator's personal account "liked" a two-minute-long porn clip from @SexuallPosts, Mediaite reports. It was "unliked" around an hour later, at around 1:30am. "The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter," a Cruz spokeswoman said, though the senator's account had liked, not posted the clip, the New York Daily News notes. Among the Twitter users poking fun at Cruz was the porn account, which now has the tag "Follow for the Same Porn @TedCruz Watches," the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports.
