Twitter Users Spot The ‘Embarrassing’ Part Of Ted Cruz’s T-Shirt Tweet

"We all knew you were obsessed with yourself, but damn...," one person responded to the Texas Republican.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) trended on Twitter Thursday after he shared a screenshot that appeared to show him searching for his own name on the platform.

Cruz, a grandstanding Donald Trump sycophant, was firing back at a post showing a mocking T-shirt bearing his likeness ― and the slogan “Politics in the front, Insurrection in the back” ― that the critic said faded after one wash.

People noticed that the search bar in Cruz’s screenshot contained the terms “tedcruz OR @tedcruz Or s…” and accused the Texas Republican of being “desperate.”

Doesn't Ted Cruz have an important job that doesn't involve searching for his own damn name on Twitter? https://t.co/fvaSxOoTay

It's funny that you didn't crop out that you're a name searcher, One of the most insecure things you can do

Dying Ted Cruz searches his own name and likely sees me roasting him near daily https://t.co/F8SJ3brRZx

In 2017, Cruz blamed a staffer for accidentally “liking” a hardcore porn video from his Twitter account.
