It could easily be some kind of set-up or planned attack. I just looked for that Twitter account and can’t find it [[@Sexuallposts]]
There are other variants of that spelling but I can’t find that exact account. Has the account itself been deleted?? Well, whether or not the account has been removed, It could be some kind of spoofing attack operation.
I’m no fan of Cruz, but I am highly suspicious and doubtful that anyone associated with his staff and Twitter account would knowingly click “like” on a porn video, knowing that this information would be displayed with his feed.
I know it is simple on Twitter to change one’s account name at any time (I used to be on Twitter but deleted my account in disgust). The basic address of the account does not change (the “@” address) but one can make the title/account name out to be anything that is not already in use by another Twitter account. This line can be changed in a couple of seconds. I have done so in the past just when I felt like a new “screenname” on Twitter. You simply type in a new name in your account settings. Boom! It’s been changed. Thus, someone could easily “spoof” the account name as something innocent or politically appealing to the Cruz team. Some conservative sounding, maybe even pro-Cruz name.....
I don’t know whether the link to the video itself could have been substituted or modified, but that is something to look at. I know that you can edit tweets after you make them. So possibly someone did a spoof account name in a tweet with a politically “conservative” message, then changed the tweet after the fact (after the Cruz team “liked” it) by substituting a new link in said tweet.
I’m not saying this is what happened for sure, I don’t know, but this kind of thing needs to be looked at.
correction/update, well that account is still there, I don’t know why I didn’t find it when searching earlier. But it is an account since 2014 and has 612K followers, so it has been active there for quite a while. I don’t know that the temporary spoof name hypothesis makes much sense, now.
It still could be some kind of set-up and attack, but not in the way I outlined before, I don’t think. Someone would have to have access to his password/account, I would think.
