Cruz Campaign Removes Ad Featuring Softcore Porn Actress

Amy Lindsay has appeared in films such as Erotic Confessions, Carnal Wishes, Secrets of a Chambermaid, and Insatiable Desires. "Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad," a Cruz campaign spokesman told BuzzFeed News.

Ted Cruz's campaign has pulled its most recent ad, "Conservatives Anonymous," after learning one of the actresses in the spot is also a softcore porn star.

The ad, which was set at a group therapy session of conservative voters who feel betrayed by Marco Rubio on immigration, featured actress Amy Lindsay, who played a woman telling another group member, "maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time."

Lindsay has appeared in several softcore porn films, including Erotic Confessions, Carnal Wishes, Secrets of a Chambermaid, and Insatiable Desires.

BuzzFeed News, after learning of Lindsay's prior filmography, requested comment from the Cruz campaign. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told BuzzFeed News in a statement that the campaign is taking the ad down and replacing it with a different one.

"The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the production company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad," Tyler said.

Prior to the Cruz campaign pulling the ad, Lindsay told BuzzFeed News in a phone interview on Thursday that she's a Christian conservative and a Republican. While she emphasized that she did not do hardcore porn and that she also appeared in non-erotic films, Lindsay said she thinks it is cool that an actress who has appeared in softcore porn could also appear in Cruz's ad.

"In a cool way, then hey, then it's not just some old, white Christian bigot that people want to say, 'It could be, maybe, a cool kind of open-minded woman like me,'" she said of people supporting Cruz.

Though Lindsay initially told BuzzFeed News that the person at the campaign who hired her "absolutely knew everything that I had done," she later called back to say that she realized that was not the case.

"I have clearly talked to the filmmakers and stuff and just to be clear, I assumed that they knew but none of the filmmakers or the casting director knew about my complete filmography in the past that you're talking about, so I was wrong in that statement," Lindsay said, saying that she had assumed that an old friend of hers from an acting class who was present when she was hired was aware of her film history.

Lindsay said she is currently deciding whether to support Cruz or Donald Trump.

Well, the porn star already got paid, so pulling the ad is kind of pointless.

TED CRUZ FINANCIALLY SUPPORTS PORN STARS!!

I’m just kidding, of course. But were this something Trump did by mistake, rest assured the charge would be posted all day, every day, with devout sincerity.

Yes as usual we will need a picture to determine level of innocence.

You know, there are some people who claim that Ted Cruz knew a guy who threw a snowball at a girl once.

We’d never hear the end of “NY Values.”

Softcore is just a little less racy than rap music videos these days.

Cruz isn’t be any more responsible for vetting campaign actors than Trump is.
