【Tramas Ardientes S01 E09】

The Tramas Ardientes S01 E09Texas GOP has tried, and failed, to elevate Ted Cruz to the same level of hotness as his opponent Beto O'Rourke.

According to a report from Central Track, the Rockwall County Republican Party allegedly posted a cringey Ted Cruz poster on their Facebook page last night. Since then, the post has been taken down, and any links that lead back to it are now broken.

However, what does remain from poster-gate is a post on the the party's Facebook story that says, "We are officially out of the previous 'Ted Cruz' Keepsake Posters."

Despite the missing links, a few screenshots of the original post were being shared around the internet. Based on these images, they really tried to amp up Cruz's bad boy sex appeal, something most of us never asked for. Apparently nothing screams "sex" more than Cruz's face Photoshopped on a fully tattooed body with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The image of a tatted up Ted Cruz is actually a ripoff of an original poster made by the conservative artist Sabo during the 2016 election. It's still unknown as to whether or not Sabo gave the Rockwall County GOP any sort of permission to reuse and sell this image.

Copyright aside, the poster is definitely up there with some of the most iconic reaches the GOP has made in attempt to be relatable. Naturally, it did not go over well with Twitter users who still find this poster awkward to look at two years after its inception.

One user also added her own twist to the Cruz poster.

Can we just pretend none of this ever happened?

Calls to the Rockland County GOP office went unanswered, and they did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
