A new recruitment video from the CIA has been making the rounds on Twitter due to its focus on inclusivity and diversity within the agency.

The short video, which highlights a Latina officer, also had conservative critics online complaining it went too far in trying to portray the agency as "woke."


Of course, Twitter could always count on Republican Senator Ted Cruz to come up with the dumbest take on any particular subject.

Ted Cruz was predictably against the recruitment video, noting online there's no way it would strike fear into the hearts of our enemies. Cruz then nostalgically remembered the good ole' days of the CIA, when we recruited men like Jason Bourne.

Jason Bourne, most people know, is the fictional main character of the Bourne films starring Matt Damon.

Twitter wasted no time in mocking Cruz for his take, which was pretty disconnected from reality.



Ted Cruz's choice to reference Jason Bourne was not only mocked because Bourne is fictional, but also because Cruz chose a White male to embody the "perfect" CIA agent.



The CIA, which has operations running all over the world—including places where a White male would stand out instead of blending in—values diversity.

One trait the agency has never put a lot of stock in?

Being a fictional movie character.



It seems Ted Cruz can't go a week without being majorly dunked on by Twitter.



Before long, Cruz is going to be wondering what happened to the days when the FBI would hire men like Aaron Hotchner.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
