【The Erotic Adventures of Zorro】

Ted Cruz and The Erotic Adventures of Zorroporn aren't words anyone wants to hear in the same sentence, but this is the world we live in now.

Late Monday night, the senator and former presidential candidate liked a veryporn-y tweet, and it immediately caused the entire internet's face to contort into a perma-cringe.

But if the agony of thinking about Cruz savoring some adult entertainment was not enough for you, allow us to remind you of one of the most bizarre facts to come out of the 2016 campaign season: Ted Cruz has a porn doppelganger.

She's a woman named Searcy Hayes, and she stars in a deeply NSFW video on xHamster called "Female Ted Cruz Lookalike Get Penetrated."

After her striking likeness to Senator Cruz was discovered, the porn platform offered her $10,000 to make a video with her fiancé. She agreed, and she had a brief moment of viral fame -- even appearing on Maury Povich's Inside Edition.

Now, thanks to Cruz's errant late night like, xHamster is hoping to spark renewed interest in their Ted Cruz content.

All we can hope is that Cruz himself doesn't end up tweeting out a link to this video. That would just be too much for our nation to bear.
