Ted Cruz has a surprising number of doppelgängers, including but not limited to Michael Sweet of the Christian heavy metal band Stryper, Grandpa Munster, and a villain in an animated Barbie movie. It's time to add a guest from the Maury show to this ever-expanding list.
The guest in question appeared on Monday's show, "5 Men Tested…Will I Find My Daughter's Father Today?" A Reddit user uploaded a screenshot from the episode showing Ted, I mean, the unnamed Maury guest, and the internet did a double take (one commenter on New York's website described her as looking "more like Ted Cruz than Ted Cruz does").
On Tuesday, Maury cleared up the rumor on Facebook: "The Lie Detector Test determined…that was a LIE! Ted Cruz is just NOT that SEXY!" At least the guest now has a reason to come back for another episode: "Help! I Could Be Ted Cruz's Long-lost Twin."
