Senator Ted Cruz has long been accused of being no friend to people of color. 

As such, his recent attack on Justin Timberlake under the guise of concern for minority owned businesses while also trying to make Black Lives Matter protestors look violent drew more criticism than praise.

Justin Timberlake has yet to respond to Cruz's tweet, but celebrities are en masse tweeting out support for organizations like the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
