Washington (CNN)Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told reporters Tuesday it was a "staffing issue" that led to a pornographic video being "liked" by his Twitter account -- which has since been removed.

"It was a staffing issue and it was inadvertent, it was a mistake, it was not a deliberate action," Cruz said, according to The Washington Post. He added: "We're dealing with it internally but it was a mistake, it was not malicious conduct."

An aide to Cruz confirmed the comments to CNN, adding that there would be an internal effort to figure out who was responsible.

Cruz declined to comment when asked by CNN about the incident.

Cruz would not “like” a porn site or video.

There’s the core issue here. The only way, in the current political environment, that ANY high profile politician would “like” something like that is if aliens took over his brain.

“I don’t even like Ted Cruz, but this is a Nothing Burger.”

Same on both.

[Psalm 144]

Very well said.

Exactly. Cruzers are playing dumb on the other thread and saying they don’t remember that.

FWIW, the other thread got deleted.

That joke sort of wilted.

Now THAT was funny :)

[Psalm 144]

People who overly fixate on sex for whatever alleged rationale, raise red flags for me. It is an important part of life. It isn’t an important part of public life, unless there are ‘issues’.

[Psalm 144]

“The Ted would be better off writing a book about why HE lost to Trump and going on tour.”

If it were sincere, reflective, and respectful, I think it would be good for him, for conservatives, and be well worth the read.
