【Esther Moser】

Ted Cruz is Esther Mosernot known for being a smooth or funny guy.

His children seem repulsed by his very existence, he bashed his own wife in the face when he dropped out of the presidential race, and then there is that whole Zodiac killer thing.

While most of America loves to hate on Cruz, he did just make a really great joke on Twitter, and it deserves a little recognition. We're not completely convinced that Cruz himself sent the tweet, but whoever runs his Twitter account deserves a raise for this one.

It all started when senators Ben Sasse and Chuck Schumer were caught in a candid moment on Thursday outside of the U.S. Capitol. Sasse is wearing gym shorts, and Schumer looks like he woke up late for work on Monday after going on a bender all weekend. Sasse tweeted the photo, saying it looked like the two were smoking weed outside of a wedding.

The photo made the rounds, and the Washington Free Beacontweeted it, asking its followers to play in a caption contest. That's when Cruz (or his social media guru) swooped in with the very relevant #viralcontent.

If you haven't been online this week, a Kickstarter campaign for male rompers, called the RompHim, went viral. Basically, Cruz dissed Schumer by saying he would be the type of dude to wear a RompHim.
