Ted Cruz upped the sombrero troll game by sharing a fairly hilarious and dance-worthy GIF highlighting the Democratic senators who shut down the government. If you haven't seen it, turn on your sound while watching. Heck, even if you have seen it, you might as well listen to the catchy tune again.
Watch:
The 44 Senate Democrats who voted for Schumer’s Shutdown should know that the Sombrero posting will continue until they re-open our government.

HEY MACARENA.
And now that will be stuck in your head all day, just like ours.
You're welcome.
Well, it seems that Ted sharing this highly entertaining GIF upset the delicate nature of Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, who you think would have voted to keep the government open since so many federal employees live in Virginia.
But we suppose forcing Americans to pay for healthcare for illegals is a higher priority for Tim and, of course, Mark Warner. Note, Mark is running next year; this can't be a good look for him.
TIM-MAY fired back:
Hey Ted, did you buy that sombrero on your trip to Cancun? https://t.co/aDZBfbm4l9

D'aww, that's all he's got?
Cruz ate him for breakfast.
Yes.

But maybe instead of joking about Cancun, you should join us & vote to open the government?
A whole lot of Virginians aren’t getting a paycheck because your party is throwing a temper tantrum. https://t.co/nrwP5GOjsY
We only hope he didn't get any heartburn from it ...
Heh.
