Twitter Makes Ted Cruz Instantly Regret His Weak Attempt at 'Man From Nantucket' Biden Joke

For much of the public, right-wing Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has become more infamous for his social media stunts than his legislative achievements.

From failing to crop out his search history in a screenshot to getting roasted by a war hero for his take on a Russian military ad, these stunts often backfire. The Senator somehow has time for Twitter spats with everyone from Seth Rogen to Dan Rather to Trevor Noah.


Cruz's most recent Twitter snafu was in response to news that President Joe Biden would be traveling to Nantucket, Massachusetts for Thanksgiving.

Cruz responded by reciting the opening line of an infamous dirty limerick that utilizes certain phrases which rhyme with "Nantucket."

Earlier this year, as Cruz's state of Texas faced devastating winter storms that decimated its independent power grid, the Senator flew to sunny Cancún, Mexico as hundreds of his constituents froze to death. After national outcry, Cruz returned early and claimed he was just escorting his family to the tropical getaway. As lawmakers like Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York raised millions of dollars in relief for the state, Cruz staged a photo-op of himself carrying bottles of water to a car trunk in an empty parking lot.

This was what crossed people's minds as they responded with limericks of their own.



But not all the responses were Cancun related.

Cruz's immaturity apparently knows no bounds.



Cruz has yet to expand on the meaning of the post.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
