Ted Cruz is not known for being a smooth or funny guy. 
 
 His children seem repulsed by his very existence, he bashed his own wife in the face when he dropped out of the presidential race, and then there is that whole Zodiac killer thing. 
 
 While most of America loves to hate on Cruz, he did just make a really great joke on Twitter, and it deserves a little recognition. We're not completely convinced that Cruz himself sent the tweet, but whoever runs his Twitter account deserves a raise for this one. 
 
 It all started when senators Ben Sasse and Chuck Schumer were caught in a candid moment on Thursday outside of the U.S. Capitol. Sasse is wearing gym shorts, and Schumer looks like he woke up late for work on Monday after going on a bender all weekend. Sasse tweeted the photo, saying it looked like the two were smoking weed outside of a wedding. 
 
 holy moly - it looks like @SenSchumer and I are smoking reefer outside a wedding...

 The photo made the rounds, and the Washington Free Beacon tweeted it, asking its followers to play in a caption contest. That's when Cruz (or his social media guru) swooped in with the very relevant #viralcontent. 
 
 "So anyway, it’s a romper for guys and it’s called the RompHim and I just ordered two." https://t.co/6BNDNZRqrb — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 18, 2017 
 
 If you haven't been online this week, a Kickstarter campaign for male rompers, called the RompHim, went viral. Basically, Cruz dissed Schumer by saying he would be the type of dude to wear a RompHim. 
 
 Just another day in U.S. politics in 2017. ||||| Tom Cotton, Ben Sasse, and Chuck Schumer. Ben Sasse/Twitter/Getty Images Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska tweeted out a photo of him with two fellow senators that is quickly going viral, joking that it looks as if they're smoking marijuana outside of a wedding. 
 
 The photo featured Sasse, in basketball shorts and a t-shirt, sitting near the US Capitol chatting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, who sported an unbuttoned shirt with his tie undone and his hair blowing in the wind, and GOP Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, still in his full suit. 
 
 "Holy moly," Sasse tweeted. "It looks like @SenSchumer and I are smoking reefer outside a wedding..." 
 
 Schumer responded shortly after, saying "well that escalated quickly," taking a line from Will Ferrell's early 2000s comedy "Anchorman." 
 
 The Twitter account @darth edited the photo to show Schumer actually holding a "joint" — a marijuana cigarette. 
 
 "I thought we were off the record," Sasse tweeted. 
 
 Here are the tweets:
– A caption contest on Twitter this week ended up pulling in Ted Cruz, Chuck Schumer, and a romper for men that's inexplicably all the rage. Mashable reports on a photo tweeted out Thursday by the Washington Free Beacon that showed a somewhat disheveled-looking Schumer chatting with Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse (who looked like he just came from the gym) outside the US Capitol. The paper asked viewers to come up with their own caption, and Sasse was one of the first to acknowledge the odd candid, noting the pic looks like he and Schumer were "smoking reefer outside a wedding." Schumer replied with a "well that escalated quickly" (a line from Anchorman, Business Insider helpfully notes), right before the memes started proliferating. That's when Cruz must have started feeling left out of the senatorial snarkfest. "So anyway, it's a romper for guys and it's called the RompHim and I just ordered two," Cruz (or whoever runs his Twitter account) tweeted, referencing the "fashion revolution" that's been circulating online this week. Mashable concedes the joke was "really great," while one commenter pointed out a peripheral subject in the photo: a "creepy" face-like object in one of the building's windows. "Spicy in a Michael Myers mask," riffed another. (In other joke news, Conan O'Brien is accused of stealing these three jokes.)
