Cruz reposted a photo of Sweeney sensually lying on her stomach, half naked, as her blonde hair falls in waves over her nude chest. She wears tight-fitting American Eagle jeans for the new fashion campaign, which has sparked accusations of racial undertones in its messaging.

Ted Cruz made an unreciprocated show of affection for Sydney Sweeney Wednesday in the form of a quite opinionated “fact check.” The Texas senator and married father of two—who was called “thirsty” by California congressman Eric Swalwell for an earlier post about the “beautiful” 27-year-old Euphoria actress—commented on Sweeney’s appearance while slamming liberals.
