Does Sen. Ted Cruz have a secret twin?
The Texas Republican shared an image of himself and Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts, but something stood out to viewers more than the team’s first World Series trophy in 108 years.
It was how similar the two men look:
Great to host Tom Ricketts. Congrats on the World Series. (Should have been the @Astros!) pic.twitter.com/M5FTY59MeJ

Suspicions that @SenTedCruz wants a "Clone Army" clause in the health care bill continue to grow. #sendintheclones

For @SInow, here's photo evidence! https://t.co/FvLMA2uQnb pic.twitter.com/kF1wgt8Im7
Tom Ricketts and Ted Cruz were apparently separated at birth. We're going to need name tags. https://t.co/F9o0jWHOrp

We can now confirm that @tedcruz and Tom Ricketts are actually two different people https://t.co/rWnXQMUw8c

If I saw Ricketts in the Capitol I'd honestly mistake him for Cruz. The resemblance is unreal. https://t.co/v3UlUlBcFV

Ricketts has commented on their similarities before.
“I’ve had people walking up really believing I’m Ted Cruz,” Ricketts told Sports Illustrated last year. “I think from a lot of the photo angles it may look that way, but in person you can see the difference.”
