Sen. Ted Cruz answer a reporter's question as he departs a closed-door briefing for members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 5. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter with the Morning Mix team Email Bio Follow April 18 at 6:22 AM As the world continued to mourn the devastation of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris after it was heavily damaged by a fire this week, one person on Wednesday took a stab at lightening the mood: Sen. Ted Cruz .
Cruz’s tweet is yet another example of the dangers of trying to find humor in emotionally charged situations, especially for politicians who often have to balance wanting to show their personalities on social media with still maintaining the proper decorum expected of their positions. Cruz, in particular, has drawn attention for venturing into the humorous side of Twitter, and his attempts have been met with both praise and ridicule.
— Walt Disney Company April 17, 2019 “Notre-Dame is a beacon of hope and beauty that has defined the heart of Paris and the soul of France for centuries, inspiring awe and reverence for its art and architecture and for its enduring place in human history,” Disney chief executive Bob Iger said in a Wednesday statement.Some people were confused.
“Classy,” commented Lee Unkrich, the Oscar-winning director behind films such as “Toy Story 3” and “Coco.”— George Takei April 17, 2019 Wednesday marked Cruz’s latest try at Twitter humor. Last Halloween, in what many felt was an effort be “relatable,” Cruz tweeted a picture of the Zodiac Killer’s cipher, making light of a popular meme that claims he is the elusive serial killer.
