Sen. Ted Cruz really wants you to know how he spent his weekend. The GOP lawmaker shared photos and videos of himself Sunday painting over freeway graffiti in Houston that read “F*** Charlie Kirk.” Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot and killed during a campus event in Utah on Wednesday. “Erasing evil,” Cruz captioned a video showing himself armed with a roller and white paint. In another post on X, Cruz said the Texas Department of Transportation had been notified and would also assist in removing the graffiti. “Some deranged b-----d put this graffiti on the 59 freeway in Houston,” he wrote. “TXDOT has been notified & I’m sure sure they will remove it expeditiously. But, in the meantime, Texans don’t have to look at this hateful garbage anymore.“ The videos, which have racked up over 3 million views on X, were mocked by some social media users. “The form of a man who’s never had a hard job in his life,” independent journalist Talia Jane quipped in a post that drew thousands of likes.
