Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says it was a 'mistake' by a 'staffer' that led to his office's official Twitter feed 'liking' a tweet which featured a short pornographic movie last night, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.
"There are a number of people on the team who have access to the account," Cruz said today. "It appeared that somebody inadvertantly hit the 'like' button."
The 'like' was unliked about an hour later, after word got out about the 'like."
We're dealing with it internally, but it was a mistake, it was not malicious conduct," Cruz said.
The site Cruz' office 'liked,' called 'SexuallPosts,' featured about a two and a half minute long pornographic scene.
The Internet went nuts over the incident. The on line porn aggragator 'pornhub.com' said they would be glad to give Cruz a 'premium membership.'
SexuallPosts immediately began running ads tagged: 'follow the same porn Ted Cruz watches.'
