Twitter can be a dangerous tool. Ted Cruz found that out the hard way.

The senator’s official Twitter account was caught ‘liking’ hardcore pornography earlier this week, leading to numerous publications posting stories about the incident.

While Cruz may have been quick to delete the activity — even blaming "staffing issue” for the mess-up — late night comedians were quick to mock, making sure no-one quickly forgets the fiasco.

Jimmy Kimmel face one of the sharpest responses, telling his audience: “I honestly don’t think it was Ted Cruz, I don’t think Ted Cruz looks at porn. Ted Cruz masturbates to pictures of poor people without health care.”

He added: “If he only did something this perverted during the campaign, he’d be president right now.”

Seth Meyers also lambasted Cruz, saying during his monologue: “‘Ew, gross,’ said the porn stars after hearing that Ted Cruz watched them.”

Meyers then pointed to a photo of Cruz with President Donald Trump, saying the porn Tweet was “the second most embarrassing thing Cruz has been caught liking.”

Meanwhile, Cruz has continued Tweeting and ‘liking’ as normal.
