Ted Cruz's Awkward Mar-A-Lago Photo Op With Trump Gets The Treatment On Twitter

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) bragged that he had a “great dinner” with former President Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Tuesday night. But the moment looked more than a little awkward, and not just because of the unusual framing of the photo.

During the campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Trump called Cruz “Lyin’ Ted,” attacked his wife’s looks and implied that his father was somehow involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

“He’s a nasty guy,” Trump said of Cruz in 2016. “Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.”

Cruz, for his part, described Trump as a “pathological liar” and a “sniveling coward” and didn’t endorse him during a speech at the Republican National Convention. Cruz ultimately flip-flopped and backed Trump, and has since become one of his staunchest defenders.

Twitter users had a lot of thoughts on the photo op:

2. They worked together to plan the so called win of the House and Senate in 2022? Ha ha heh...

I say that this cheers me up, two of the most despicable political figures of our time trying to savage their party's position in the House and Senate...I suspect that they are going to have a pretty hard time of it since both of them are in La La Land, and don't know the reality of their situation. Especially when the lawsuits and other criminal actions start falling on trump and others.
