US Republican Senator Ted Cruz ended up enduring a barrage of jokes and mocking remarks on social media after he mentioned a possible relation between his new look and the prospects fore establishing peace in the Middle East.
This development occurred after the senator tweeted Wednesday that a friend of his, who is studying in a yeshiva in Israel, was told by his rabbi that Cruz’s beard gives him “a Talmudic & Rabbinic look & presence that will put the fear of the Lord into Israel’s enemies & promote Middle East peace.”
A considerable number of social media users, however, had their own ideas about Cruz’s appearance, and did not wait long to enlighten him.
Many also doubted the veracity of his claim.
And some couldn’t help but to refer to an incident from 2017, when a porn clip posted on Twitter was ‘liked’ by Cruz’s account.
