Seems like politicians are linked to fashion more than ever these days. Ivanka Trump is constantly in the news for her clothing line, Sarah Palin ruined the off-the-shoulder look for half of Americans, and now Ted Cruz is weighing in on the RompHim.
The Texas senator tweeted about the romper for men while partaking in a caption contest for a viral photo of Sen. Chuck Schumer, Sen. Ben Basse and Sen. Tom Cotton.

Cruz (or potentially one of his aides) wrote:
"So anyway, it’s a romper for guys and it’s called the RompHim and I just ordered two." https://t.co/6BNDNZRqrb

And many found it funny:
@tedcruz Good tweet, Cruz. Better than your entire presidential campaign.

@tedcruz Give whatever staffer is running @tedcruz's Twitter account a raise STAT pic.twitter.com/vqOBaQEBrI

@tedcruz 😂😂😂 Cruz for the win!!

But others weren’t impressed:
@tedcruz why do you ruin everything
— Monica Patel (@monicapatel917) May 18, 2017
@tedcruz Perhaps if you took your job a bit more seriously, we wouldn't be stuck with the man-child we have in the whitehouse

@tedcruz @timkmak If you have time for that you should have time for town hall. It doesn't matter we are voting you out. Enjoy your romper.

@tedcruz I thought I'd never say this, but Ted, you're worse at comedy than Huckabee. And that's saying something.
— Yuriy (@YGalanter) May 18, 2017
And some just wanted more fashion commentary from Cruz:
@tedcruz Eagerly awaiting your @Racked essay on this, Ted.

Regardless, we’re ready to stop talking about the RompHim.
