Emmy Awards host Stephen Colbert skewered Texas Sen. Ted Cruz Sunday for a “staffing issue” in which a pornographic video was “liked” by his Twitter account.
“Of course these days everybody loves streaming video,” Colbert said during his opening monologue, after saying it had been a “booming” year of the television industry. “Just ask Ted Cruz.”
Cruz’s staff informed Twitter on Tuesday about a pornographic video his personal social media account “liked,” with the senator adding “it was a staffing issue, and it was inadvertent. It was a mistake, it was not a deliberate action.”
Cruz then joked with a reporter that he should have pulled a stunt like the incident during the campaign because of all the attention he has received from it.
