Republican Senator Ted Cruz “liked” a pornographic video on Twitter last night…or at least someone with access to his account did.

The Senator says that the “like” was caused by an aide. “There are a number of people on the team that have access to the account, and it appears that someone inadvertently hit the like button, he told reporters.

The two minute video showed two women and a man engaged in sexual acts. The post was later deleted.

Cruz’s communications adviser later wrote on her own Twitter account, “The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter.” But it was too late. The internet was already having a field day.
