I will note it's highly unusual for Cruz's office and even Cruz himself to not respond by this point.

One note on tweets claiming to have confirmed this...they have no attribution on sourcing...

I'd like to be sure.

It's Texas, and that's how they roll.

I feel sorry for the Democrats living in TX, but not for the repubs who deserve the representation they voted for.

I’d hate to think there’s some poor soul out there walking around who regularly gets mistaken for Ted Cruz.
