- π― Ted Cruz is criticized for a tweet involving a semi-topless photo of actress Sydney Sweeney from an American Eagle ad.
- π‘ Cruz quote-tweeted the photo with the caption, "Now the crazy left has come out against beautiful women. I'm sure that will poll well."
- β οΈ The hosts argue that criticizing the ad is not the same as criticizing beautiful women, calling Cruz's take "beneath even Ted Cruz" and "so stupid."
Perceived Motives and Public Reaction
- π§ The tweet is interpreted as Ted Cruz attempting to gain attention and support from Sydney Sweeney, rather than genuinely commenting on the ad or the "left."
- π§ Cruz is accused of being "thirsty" and acting like someone commenting inappropriately on women's social media posts, despite having a wife and children.
- π« It's suggested that Cruz's online behavior, particularly his history of liking posts from "blondes on Twitter," is embarrassing and unprofessional for a US Senator.
Potential Impact on Sydney Sweeney
- π¬ The hosts believe Sydney Sweeney does not want or need Ted Cruz's attention or endorsement.
- π There's speculation that Cruz's "thirsty" behavior might actually push Sweeney away from any perceived political alignment with him or his supporters.
- π© The hosts advise Cruz to "back off" to avoid alienating Sweeney further.
