Talk about some very weird reelection campaign signs. We’re not sure who the genius is who plastered images around San Antonio of Ted Cruz wearing BDSM attire, but we’d like to shake that person’s hand.
Try to avert your eyes as you read this, but the image features the Texas Senator donning a black leather chest harness, leather boots and shorts (five sizes too small), black gloves and holding what looks like a riding crop in both hands. He also has a tattoo with the words “Proud Boy” across his bulging belly.
The hard-to-shake images of Cruz started popping up around the Alamo City late last month, mostly around the area of town known for its LGBTQ clubs and nightlife.
Twitter users were quick to chime in on the kinky Cruz wall décor with both laughter and dry heaving.
On Thursday (April 22), #FatWolverine was trending on Twitter for a good part of the day–a reference to Cruz’s facial hair. The online mocking revolved around a video of Cruz complaining during a press conference that the Democratic Party was planning to “pack” the U.S. Supreme Court by adding more liberal-minded justices to it.
Maybe he forgot that time Republicans refused to hold a hearing for Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court in 2016. He also probably forgot when they rushed the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the court late last year.
We’ll give Cruz the benefit of the doubt and blame his ignorance on the fact that his tight, leather shorts are probably stopping the blood from reaching his brain.
