Earlier this month, Caroline Cruz, the daughter of Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, posted on her TikTok some of the downsides to being related to her father.

The 13-year-old also expressed she “really disagrees” with most of his views.

Some people also noticed Caroline Cruz’s profile information said “she/her bi."

When asked about it, she confirmed it was true.

But she added she hadn’t told her father yet.

However, she didn’t believe he would be mad about it.

Caroline Cruz’s TikTok has since been made private.

Given Senator Cruz’s track record on LGBTQ+ rights, people expressed concern for his daughter from both ends of the political spectrum.

While conservatives claimed her age precluded her from having a sexuality—an argument not raised with cisgender, heterosexual teens—LGBTQ+ allies and advocates expressed concern about the attitudes of conservatives.





Maybe this will soften Senator Cruz’s stance on LGBTQ+ issues.

Over the course of his career, Cruz has made his opposition to gay rights well known. In 2015, he said at a fundraiser fighting same-sex marriage would be at the forefront of his 2016 presidential campaign.

More recently, when the United States Army released an ad featuring a soldier brought up by two moms, Cruz insulted the video by claiming it was turning the military into “pansies.”

The internet felt Caroline Cruz may need protection from her father’s conservative cronies.






Cruz’s track record defending his family is unfortunately poor.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, then candidate Donald Trump made derogatory comments about Cruz’s wife and father, yet Cruz still defended Trump.

Hopefully he'll do better when the conservative Evangelical Christian base Trump courted attack Cruz’s daughter.

Seth Meyers Responds To Trump's 'Truly Deranged' Personal Attack Against Him With Hilarious Takedown

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

MTG Just Admitted The Awkward Truth About The Republican Healthcare Plan On 'The View'

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

People Share The Best Ways To Shut Down A Debate With A Flat Earther Family Member

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
