question:
Among darts tossed at Sen. Ted Cruz after his Twitter account "liked" a sexual video clip was an allegation that Cruz has backed a ban on sex toys . 
It ultimately was Cruz 's duty to defend the law , each lawyer said . 
Krupkin said : "Cruz in his official capacity as solicitor general supported a ban . 
It gets too close to the line when you say Ted Cruz" personally "did this . 
Ted Cruz did that in his official position . 
We 're unaware of Cruz , elected in 2012 and seeking re-election in 2018 , calling for a ban on sex toys . 
The Post 's tweet linked to the newspaper 's news story , which said , without added detail : "Cruz , a Republican from Texas , is known for his strong religious convictions and family values stance -- and once even supported a ban on sex toys ." 
Earlier , the state framed its arguments for upholding the law in a January 2007 brief listing the names of the then-attorney general , Greg Abbott , and five state attorneys working for the agency helmed by Abbott -- including Cruz , Todd and Davis , whose signature alone appears on the brief and , again alone , on the state 's unsuccessful post-ruling motion for rehearing . 
The New York Post 's tweet called Cruz "the same senator who once supported a ban on sex toys ." 
Cruz did not respond to our inquiry for this fact-check . 
This statement incorrectly suggests that Cruz called for a ban on sex toys while serving in the Senate or otherwise personally held that belief . 
There 's no doubt in my mind that Cruz would have reviewed it in some way ." 
"No ," Cruz said . 
To our inquiries , Todd and Gary Krupkin , a Dallas First Amendment lawyer who represents businesses selling such products , each commented that Cruz supported restricting sex toys but that defending state laws also was his duty . 
Cruz was Texas ' solicitor general at the time , making him the attorney general 's office 's top appellate lawyer . 
In his position as a state lawyer , Cruz helped in the unsuccessful defense of a Texas law barring commercial promotion of sex toys -- an action giving this claim an element of truth . 
New York Post Statement : Says Ted Cruz is the "same senator who once supported a ban on sex toys ." 
So , Todd said , Cruz "defended it . 
It 's a stupid law ," Cruz said , adding that he believes consenting adults should do what they please in the privacy of their bedrooms .
answer:
Ted Cruz


question:
Mitt Romney  the former governor of Massachusetts   is now a Senate candidate in Utah â and the announcement of  his  candidacy shows  he âs sensitive about being labeled a carpetbagger.
âUtah â the Republican says at the beginning of a video  he  shared Friday morning on social media  âis admired not only for its beauty  but also for the character of its people. Utahns are known for hard work  innovation  and our can-do pioneering spirit. But more than these  weâre known as a people who serve  who care  and who rise to any occasion.â
It goes on like this for more than two minutes. One reporter joked on Twitter that he lost count of how many times  Romney  said âUtah.â The strategy telegraphed in recent days is clear and multipronged: Romney  who fell short in two previous White House bids and emerged as one of Donald Trumpâs fiercest critics  is trying to persuade voters that he is laser-focused on his adopted state and not on the president or the job heâs pined for in the past.
Though on paper this should be a cakewalk â Romney is hardly a stranger in Utah  and Democrats have little chance of picking up the seat â two prominent Republicans have made an issue of Romneyâs Trump-bashing and his relocation to the West. One of them  State Auditor John Dougall  told BuzzFeed News that GOP activists in and outside Utah have been encouraging him after he said this week that he was seriously considering challenging  Romney .
Dougall added that  Romney  had called  him  Thursday evening to inform  him  of  his  imminent announcement  which has been anticipated since Sen. Orrin Hatch made his retirement plans known last month. âI wished him all the best â Dougall said of  Romney .
A  Romney  spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dougall declined to say who is encouraging him to run. But he suggested support would come from those concerned about electing someone who would not be aligned with Trump. For weeks on his Facebook page  Dougall has been arguing against a âcoronationâ of  Romney .
After the phone interview  Dougall added via email: âI should have also mentioned that âIt's clear that Utahns have a very favorable view of  Mr. Romney . The odds are strongly in  his  favor.ââ
Earlier this week  Utah Republican Party Chair Rob Anderson noted  Romney âs criticism of Trump and spoke dismissively of his Utah credentials in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune: âI think heâs keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because  letâs face it   Mitt Romney  doesnât live here   his  kids werenât born here   he  doesnât shop here.â
Anderson later apologized to  Romney .
âIâve no doubt that  Mitt Romney  satisfies all qualifications to run for Senate â said Anderson in a Wednesday statement posted on Twitter  âand as chairman of the Utah Republican Party  I will treat all candidates equally to ensure their path to the party nomination is honest and fair.â
answer:
Mitt Romney
