The latest joke started on Wednesday after Senator Ben Sasse accidentally spilled Dr. Pepper on Cruz during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Cruz then tweeted a picture of a fridge full of soda and announced that the senator from Nebraska had been “cut off.”
Sasse responded by joking that he was wearing a shirt reading “Lee Harvey Oswald Was Framed” when the beverage accident occurred — Cruz has also been subject to rumors that his father played a role in former president John F. Kennedy’s death.

Despite the fact that Cruz was not born when the first Zodiac killings took place, when questioned some of the theory’s defenders respond by saying that Cruz has “never denied it.”

Over the years, the Zodiac jokes and Internet memes have continued to multiply — and in 2016, Cruz’s wife Heidi stated that her husband was definitely not the elusive serial killer in a Vanity Fair profile.
