【China】

Ted Cruz,China the former presidential candidate somewhat known for his resemblance to the Zodiac Killer, had one brief moment of glory this summer when he failed to endorse Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention.

That moment has since faded. After "Lyin' Ted" came out in support of Trump last Friday, the internet went on high alert. And now, a newly released video of Cruz phonebanking for Trump is now one of the top Google image search results for "ultimate humiliation."

SEE ALSO: No one is talking about LGBTQ issues this election. That's a problem.

All across Twitter, people of varying political stripes came together to gently/forcefully mock the former presidential candidate. The senator, who rode an Anti-Trump wave, seems to have now crashed into the sea phonebanking for him.

"Yes, the same one he called 'Lyin' Ted Cruz.' Yes, the one whose dad helped kill JFK. No, I don't know why I'm making these calls either." pic.twitter.com/cSmyIMgvhs
