Ted Cruz found himself fending off some embarrassing questions from the press corps Tuesday regarding porn. He blamed a late-night Twitter "like" of a risque clip from his official feed on a "staffing issue," reports NBC San Francisco. "There are a number of people on the team that have access to the account and it appears that someone inadvertently hit the like button," he said. Then somebody asked directly if he was the one who hit the like button. "It was a staffing issue," he replied, adding, "We're dealing with it internally, but it was a mistake. It was not malicious conduct."
Cruz also tried to make light of the gaffe and all the attention it was getting. "If I had known that this would trend so quickly ... perhaps we should have posted something like this during the Indiana primary," he said. The Washington Post, meanwhile, can't resist digging into Cruz's memoir, specifically the part where he wrote about watching hard-core porn with Supreme Court justices back when he was a 26-year-old law clerk. (They were looking into whether online porn should be subject to regulations.) In the book, he recalls Sandra Day O'Connor muttering, "Oh my." (More Ted Cruz stories.)
