‘We encourage states to continue to fight this public menace and pledge our commitment to children’s safety and well-being. We applaud the social networking sites that bar sex offenders from participation. We urge energetic prosecution of child pornography which closely linked to human trafficking.’
While Cruz was the solicitor general of the state of Texas, he helped argue in favor of banning sex toys in the Lone Star State.
The video he liked does not appear to feature any sex toys.

If Cruz did like the video himself, it wouldn’t be the first time he watched porn. In 2015 he watched hardcore pornography with Supreme Court justices when the court was considering regulating online porn.
He told the Washington Post: ‘We were in front of a large computer screen gazing at explicit, hard-core pornography.
Cruz’s college roommate Craig Mazin tweeted: ‘Now imagine Ted Cruz is doing this four feet below you in the bottom bunk bed. Yes, my misery very much appreciates your company.’
