Ted Cruz is trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons after his official account liked a hardcore porn clip tweeted out by Sexuall Posts.
The incident happened on Monday night, September 11, and immediately drew hilarious responses on the social networking site.
The clip in question featured a woman playing with herself while watching a couple having sex.
Cruz's senior communications adviser quickly issued a brief statement.
“The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter,” adviser Catherine Frazier said on Twitter.

By that time it was already too late. The Republican Senator from Texas had already become the butt of endless jokes.
Cruz is a married father of two, who once defended a Texas law which banned the sale of sex toys.

When you make a career of shaming others for their sex lives and autonomy, I call something like this poetic justice. #TedCruz

We have been following indie recording artist HooNoz, pronounced as WhoKnowz, for quite some time. He has probably been one of the most consistent artists we have come across. He releases so much music along with the rest of his Harvey Finch Enterprise conglomerates, that once you catch wind of them, you can't help but to see them constantly. Every time you turn around, it's another release. Be it an audio single, a music video or a full length project, they will be back before you can forget them.
In the mist of all of this, is what almost has seem to become HFE's front man, HooNoz. For years he has been sufficient in properly releasing promotional music leading up to an album release. Early this year, just 5 months to be exact, we had an opportunity to sit down and do a face 2 face interview with HooNoz. We bounced around between musical subjects and hustles, but the main focus was the project he had just finished and was beginning to release music videos for, The Lost Verses 5- Level of Maturity.
LV5- Level of Maturity has finally hit the streets and is getting one hell of a reception. Filled from A-Z with dope music, HooNoz stayed true to his original platform as an artist....Reality. Where most artists today choose to fill their albums with catchy hooks and half written, half mumbled verses, HooNoz chose to remain focused on lyricism and context. Making good points of self motivation and mental awareness over doing drugs or pushing the violence agenda.
Now, you still will find a few violent bars, but when someone comes from areas drowned in decades of violence, you will often find it reflected through their art. Yet, the violence survived is used more as a vision of hope for others. HooNoz gets in depth on many songs pointing out many of those you hold dear, don't have prayers for positive for you. So create your own lane and stay in it to you hit the finish line.
Level of Maturity is almost a self help inspirational speaker in Hip Hop form. Instead of using his tribulations as an excuse to behave erratically and dangerous, HooNoz uses it as motivation and example that through focus and maturity, you can reach a better place. At the same time,he praises the independent entrepreneurs for their dreams and successes.
Definitely an album worth listening to and adding to your collection, Check Out HooNoz Lost Verses 5- Level of Maturity.

In this clip, G Herbo talks to VLAD TV about his relationship with Lil Uzi Vert, the prospect of an EP together, as well as discussing Uzi's rapping ability. According to G Herbo, Uzi has bars, and he believes the only reason we don't hear more of that from Uzi is that his fans have attached themselves to his current non-genre-conforming style. Herbo believes the idea of 'mumble rap' is a farce as well. To him, they are all hip-hop artists, and people like Uzi are just a reflection of the genre expanding and evolving. Herbo also gave his take on JAY-Z's latest album, 4:44, and detailed how much Hov's project pushed him as an artist and person. Herbo said he picked up on things JAY did with his flow, patterns, and cadences that he hadn't heard before.

NEW YORK (AP) — Holding photos and reading names of loved ones lost 16 years ago, 9/11 victims’ relatives marked the anniversary of the attacks at ground zero on Monday with a solemn and personal ceremony.
Every Sept. 11 since the date of the deadliest terror attack on American soil, Rob Fazio has come to the place where his father, Ronald Carl Fazio, and thousands of others died.
“I’ll come every year for the rest of my life,” the son said. “It’s where I get my strength.”
At least 1,000 family members, survivors, rescuers and officials were gathered as the ceremony at the World Trade Center began with a moment of silence and tolling bells. Then, relatives began reading out the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed when terrorist-piloted planes hit the trade center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, hurling America into a new consciousness of the threat of global terrorism.
Some said they couldn’t believe 16 years had passed since a tragedy that still seemed so present on the anniversary. To others, it was an occasion to plead for a return to the sense of unity they felt after the attacks.
“Our country came together that day. And it did not matter what color you were, or where you were from,” said a tearful Magaly Lemagne, who lost her brother, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Officer David Prudencio Lemagne. She implored people to “stop for a moment and remember all the people who gave their lives that day.
“Maybe then we can put away our disagreements and become one country again.”
Nicholas Haros Jr. saw a glimpse of that cohesiveness in the country’s response to catastrophic recent hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Irma was making its way through the Southeast as a tropical storm while 9/11 anniversary ceremonies unfolded in New York, the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
“God bless, and be New York strong,” Maureen Tipping-Lipshie urged those affected by Irma after she remembered her brother, John James Tipping II.
Sixteen years later, the quiet rhythms of commemoration have become customs: a recitation of all the names of the dead, moments of silence and tolling bells, and two powerful light beams that shine through the night.
Yet each ceremony also takes on personal touches. Some name-readers added messages ranging from the universal to the personal — updates on family graduations and marriages, memories of personality traits and favorite foods.
Some have never even had a chance to meet the relatives they lost on Sept. 11, 2001.
“I wish more than anything that I could have met you,” Ruth Daly said, her voice breaking, after she read names in remembrance of her slain grandmother, Ruth Sheila Lapin. “I’m very proud to be your namesake. I hope you’re watching down on me from heaven.”
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, a native New Yorker observing the anniversary for the first time as the nation’s leader, observed a moment of silence at the White House with first lady Melania Trump.
The Trumps also planned to participate in a 9/11 observance at the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are hosting a private observance for victims’ relatives there at 9:11 a.m. Monday. After the names are read at that ceremony, there’s a public observance, with a wreath-laying and remarks.
Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke are scheduled to deliver remarks at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville. It’s on the rural field where one of the airliners crashed after passengers and crew fought to wrest control away from the terrorists who’d hijacked it and were heading for Washington.
Construction continues at the Shanksville memorial, where ground was broken Sunday for a 93-foot (28 meters) tall Tower of Voices to honor the 33 passengers and seven crew members who died.
Rebuilding and reimagining also continues at ground zero, where the third of four planned office towers is set to open next year. Work toward a $250 million performing arts center continues after a design was unveiled last fall. Most recently, plans were announced this spring to transform a grassy clearing on the memorial plaza into a walkway and area dedicated to 9/11 rescue and recovery workers.
The ceremony on the National Sept. 11 Memorial plaza strives to be apolitical: Politicians can attend, but since 2011, they haven’t been allowed to read names or deliver remarks.
Yet last year’s 15th-anniversary ceremony became entangled in the narrative of a fractious presidential campaign when Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton left abruptly, stumbled into a van and ultimately revealed she’d been diagnosed days earlier with pneumonia.
This year, the focus remained on the names read out beneath the waterfall pools and lines of trees.
“It does feel good to know you have other people who are feeling the same pain that you’re in,” Marvaline Monroe said as she headed into the ceremony to remember her brother, Keith Broomfield. She comes to the ceremony as often as she can.
“It’s very hard. We’ll never forget, but we just have to live with the memories that we have of him.”
Delaney Colaio read names in honor of the three relatives she lost: her father, Mark Joseph Colaio, and her uncles Stephen J. Colaio and Thomas Pedicini. She is making a documentary about the children who lost parents in the attacks.
“I stand here as a reminder to the other families of 9/11 and to the world,” she said, “that no matter how dark moments life can get, there is light ahead if you just choose hope.”
