.
Yes, Ted. We know you had a problem with your STAFF.
The mystery of how a tweet liking a porn video appeared on Republican Ted Cruzs Twitter account has been solved, with the Texas senator blaming it on a staffer and saying it was not malicious.
According to Politico, the senator addressed the issue Tuesday morning after the tweet went up and was quickly yanked down on Monday night.
There are a number of people on the team who have access on the account. It appears that someone inadvertently hit the like button. When we discovered the post, which was I guess an hour or two later, we pulled it down, Cruz explained. It was a staffing issue. And it was inadvertent, it was a mistake. It was not a deliberate act. Were dealing with internally, but it was a mistake. It was not malicious.

Yanked and pulled down. Try flogging, beating, spanking, jerking or just a mild stroke action.
