Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked after he was photographed giving some major "moose knuckle"—the male equivalent to a female camel toe—while wearing a pair of awkwardly tight pants.

A photograph shared on Twitter by the account PatriotTakes captured Cruz's peculiar fashion choice during a visit to Mar-a-Lago for a fundraiser on behalf of former President Donald Trump.

The account observed:

"Don’t zoom in. Ted Cruz’s pants are way too tight."

Viewers were quick to notice Cruz's tight-fitting jacket, with a single button appearing strained, and his pants, which left little to the imagination.


As if the fashion critique weren't enough, one of Cruz's own social media posts brought more mockery his way.

Sharing a photo with Trump at the event, Cruz expressed his admiration for the former President's resilience amid legal challenges:

"Despite the unprecedented legal persecution [and] abuse of power from angry Dems, Trump remains strong, undeterred [and] ready to WIN in November."

You can see his post below.

His critics pounced on that too.

Cruz lost the Republican nomination to then-candidate Trump in 2016, after which he faced significant criticism for his often deferential attitude toward Trump during his presidency.

There is a contentious history between the two. Aside from the moment when Trump baselessly linked Cruz's father to President Kennedy's assination, Trump also openly mocked Cruz's wife, Heidi Cruz, by comparing her looks to those of his wife Melania, a former model.

Cruz has ridden Trump's coattails ever since, once claiming that he loves the idea of being played played "by Apollo Creed," in reference to actor Carl Weathers, now recently deceased, who played the character in Rocky and its sequels.

At the time, the shameless Senator was mocked for trying to piggyback off a joking tweet about casting for Trump: The Movie, signaling that he's been willing to leave Trump's misogynistic attacks against his wife in the past.

Meghan McCain Mocked For Seemingly Just Realizing That MAGA Wants Women To Stay Home And Raise Kids

Former The View co-host Meghan McCain was widely mocked after complaining about MAGA conservatives' "harsh views" about women who don't want children—prompting many to wonder if she's been paying any attention at all.

McCain's remarks come as conservatives increasingly encourage women, particularly younger women, to prioritize motherhood. Several women tied to the administration, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller—wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller—and Second Lady Usha Vance, have recently spoken publicly about their pregnancies.

RFK Jr. Posts Bonkers Video Working Out Shirtless In Jeans With Kid Rock—And The Internet Can't

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had people rolling their eyes after he shared his new "Rock Out Work Out" video promoting the Make America Healthy Again (MAGA) movement that features him and far-right singer Kid Rock working out shirtless and hanging out together.

At one point during the oddball video, the two men are shown drinking whole milk in a pool, a decision that follows the release of new federal dietary guidelines under the Trump administration that encourage consumption of full-fat dairy. Kennedy has even previously shared a video of himself drinking a glass of whole milk as a flex, footage that was amplified by the White House.
