'Best response ever'! Ted Cruz weighs in on mysterious posters, embraces his badass self

As Twitchy reported, posters depicting a “bad boy” version of Ted Cruz have been popping up around Beverly Hills, where the senator is scheduled to speak tonight. But we couldn’t help but wonder: what does Cruz think about all this?

This morning, we got our answer:

Saw this, but noticed an error. So I wanted to make one thing clear: I don't smoke cigarettes http://t.co/3nn2740kkP pic.twitter.com/tPFNqg9vu8

Ha! Talk about making the most of a weird situation.

@tedcruz Best response ever.

@tedcruz Perfect response, Senator!

It definitely ranks right up there. These days, it’s tough to find a politician with a good sense of humor, let alone one who doesn’t take himself too seriously. But Cruz, well, he gives us hope.
