After getting pummeled in Indiana’s Republican primary on Tuesday, Ted Cruz officially suspended his presidential campaign and immediately became the butt of every joke on Twitter....

“Ted Cruz dropped out of the POTUS race to pursue Zodiac Killing full time probs,” read one tweet....

8. I believe it originated at the White House Correspondents Dinner

The Comedian Host, Wilmore? said he wasn't Lucifer, he was the Zodiac Killer.

12. It started way before that, in 2013

Wilmore was riffing on an established meme.

9. the zodiac stuff you see there is from the Zodiac killer who terrorized California and was never

11. Now that Sen. Cruz has suspended his campaign

His running mate has the field clear to do what she does best: Lay off a bunch of people while looting the campaign fund.
