United States Senator Ted Cruz is a practiced politician. That's why it was such a shock when he couldn't answer a rather simple question in a recent Senate debate with Beto O'rourke. Twitter reacted to his hesitation to “Tell us something you’ve done in the last year that has nothing to do with politics that would give Texans insight to who you are as a person," in the most Twitter of Twitter ways.
The porn hack
Earlier this year, Cruz got into trouble when his Twitter account liked a porn video. That was brought back in response to his debate gaffe.
Moderator: Tell us something you've done that's not political.

Missing the kids isn't an accomplishment.
This tweet shows just how much better Beto's response was.
.@JasonWhitely stops @tedcruz with a Q about what he's done outside politics that he's proud of in the last year. He says missing his job coaching his daughter's basketball team. @BetoORourke talks about playing drums: "Me and the kids will rock out." #txdecides #TexasDebate

Bipartisan embarassment
One user pointed out it wasn't just Democrats who thought Cruz freezing was funny.
Even my Republican husband laughed at Cruz’s awkward silence on that one.
