Ted Cruz debuts mullet-fade hairstyle amid Trump impeachment trial, Internet says 'he looks like a squirrel"

'Ted Cruz is currently sporting something indescribable but mullet-like on his head, so this may be the time to delay the look'

Senator Ted Cruz set off quite a buzz on Twitter on Friday when he slicked back his salt-and-pepper hair for a look which Yahoo described as "a budding Morgan Wallen." With the impeachment of former President Donald Trump almost wrapped up, the focus shifted on Cruz as he was mocked, trolled and meme'd on social media. The new do comes after Cruz came out of his congressional break with a revolutionary beard of sorts. "Ted Cruz is currently sporting something indescribable but mullet-like on his head, so this may be the time to delay the look," read one of the tweets. This was seconded by another who said: "What the hell is going on with Ted Cruz's hair? A mullet? A mohawk? He looks like a squirrel."

The memes were downright hilarious. "Cruz is the most dispicable adult to ever rock a mullet & that's saying a lot! @tedcruz" wrote one of the people. "@tedcruz the faded mullet though. I read it was business in the front and insurrection in the back. It couldn't be as vile and vomitous as it sounds could it?" reckoned another.

"lol it has nothing to do with misogyny and everything to do with these hairstyles being objectively awful. just like ted cruz’s mullet from today; are there more important things to critique him on? yes. but, can we do two things at once? also yes." read a tweet. "Ted Cruz’s mullet is actually an improvement from when he was in Stryper," mocked one of the people who saw the hairstyle.

The hate was no less. "@tedcruz your office voice mail where you sound like a lying prick is FULL. Are you scared to listen to what Texans ACTUALLY want? Does your mullet feel so cool, you are above your constituents? We are coming to “fight” you at the polls, let’s make that clear- NO GQP style here."

Quite recently, Cruz came under the scanner when he took a potshot at Trump. Talking on 'Verdict', he said, "“President Trump’s rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible because he said repeatedly —and he said over and over again — he won by a landslide; there was massive fraud; it was all stolen everywhere."

He added: That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that’s not responsible and you’ve never heard me use language like that."

"What I’ve said is voter fraud is real, and we need to examine the evidence, and look at the actual facts; and in particular, what is the evidence of how much voter fraud occurred, and did it occur in sufficient quantities and in sufficient states to alter the outcome of the election. That would have been the mandate of the election commission; to assess."
