On Tuesday, April 6, journalist Ken Klippenstein tweeted about how NASA was seeking volunteers "to help staff facilities for unaccompanied migrant children."

Shortly thereafter, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas quote tweeted Klippenstein, writing "seems bad."

Klippenstein, no fan of Ted Cruz, quickly changed his Twitter screen name to "Ted Cruz liked a porn tweet" so all of Cruz's followers would be reminded of the embarrassing incident from 2017.

Klippenstein shared his handiwork.

Though Cruz deleted his tweet once he realized what had happened, screenshots of Klippenstein's prank will live on forever.



Twitter users everywhere laughed at Cruz for what felt like the hundredth time this month.



There's no shortage of cringe-worthy moments for followers of Ted Cruz.



Many online hoped more politicians would get trolled the same way Cruz was.



Perhaps this entire incident taught Cruz to be more careful about who he retweets.

You never know who might be willing to throw some shade your way.

CNN Uses Hillary Clinton Stat To Put Trump's Dwindling Popular Vote Margin On Blast

CNN's John Berman and Harry Enten pointed out President-elect Donald Trump's shrinking popular vote gap over Vice President Kamala Harris—and shared a statistic about his former opponent Hillary Clinton's popular vote margin that Trump isn't going to like one bit.

News Central anchor Berman and Enten, the network's senior political data reporter, noted that Trump currently holds 49.9% of the counted votes, edging out Harris, who has 48.2%. However, not only does this mean Donald Trump did not win 50% of the vote, but this 1.7% margin is narrower than the 2.1% popular vote lead Clinton had over Trump in the 2016 election.

Trans Activist Has Blunt Reminder For Nancy Mace About Trans Women During Trump's First Term

Transgender activist Charlotte Clymer posted a truth bomb about where transgender women in the Capitol went to the bathroom during the first Trump administration after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace announced she would seek to ban transgender women from the women's bathroom.

Mace introduced a resolution to bar members of Congress, as well as congressional officers and employees, from using single-sex facilities that do not align with their biological sex. The proposal was clearly designed to target Sarah McBride, who recently secured Delaware's lone seat in the House and will become the first openly transgender member of Congress.
