Ted Cruz Mocked After His 'MAGA' Mullet Was Removed From The Cover Of His New Book

The cover of Ted Cruz's new book 'Unwoke' is conspicuously missing Cruz's trademark mullet.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked online after his "MAGA" mullet was removed from the cover of his latest book, Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.

Cruz began sporting the mullet in 2021 during a confirmation hearing for United States Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield. He embraced and even fundraised off the look he dubbed "McConnell in the front, MAGA in the back."


But the mullet is missing from the cover of the book shown in a tweet Cruz shared announcing its release. The book is described as offering "a long overdue argument against the woke takeover of education, big business, the media, and Hollywood."

A source who spoke to Insider said the decision to remove Cruz's mullet from the book's cover was the decision of conservative publisher Regnery Publishing and not Cruz himself.

When questioned by Insider, Lauren Snyder—a spokesperson for Regnery—said the publisher only "updated the image to match the Senator's current appearance" and questioned whether the decision was "newsworthy."

Cruz was mocked nonetheless.









Cruz's books generally create controversy though much of it is a tad more serious than the decision by his publisher to edit out his mullet.

Cruz came under fire in late 2021 after findings from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) suggested Cruz's campaign spent $153,000 at Books-a-Million to buy copies of his book, One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, for which he was paid a $320,000 advance by his publisher.

He also reportedly engaged in other ways of pocketing royalties related to the sale of his book by using his Senate website to offer autographed copies of his book to anyone who donated $77 to his campaign.

A spokesman for the Senator said Cruz "has not received one cent of royalties," though they did not specify which books had been purchased.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
