"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday dismissed the reaction to his official Twitter account "liking" a pornographic tweet, saying the media is "obsessed with sex" and the social media mishap was "an honest mistake."
"I am saying that consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want in their bedrooms. The media and the left seem obsessed with sex, let people do what they want," Cruz said in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash.
"It's an opportunity for knuckleheads in the media to claim, 'Oh, isn't this ironic that Cruz wants to ban these things.' People ought to be able to do what they want in their own bedrooms," he said.
Cruz said the "like" was caused by "a staffer who accidentally hit the wrong button and it was a screw-up," that the incident has been dealt with internally and the staffer will not be fired. Cruz declined to give the name of the staffer responsible."
