Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) put out a new ad attacking Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke on Monday — and he was quickly buried in mockery.

A new video ad posted on Cruz’s Twitter account attacks O’Rourke for repeatedly dropping the f-word during various public appearances.

“If Beto shows up in your town, maybe keep the kids at home,” the ad states.

A lighthearted reminder: A #LaborDay picnic is a great place to bring the kids. A Beto O’Rourke rally? Not so much… #TXSen — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 3, 2018

Given Cruz’s full-throated support for President Donald Trump — who was infamously caught on camera bragging about committing sexual assault — the senator quickly found himself getting hammered by Twitter followers who slammed him for being an egregious hypocrite.

Which picnic are you at Ted? The one where a guy who brags about grabbing pussy without consent calls your wife ugly and then doesn’t apologize and you end up making phone calls to support him? That fucking picnic? — Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) September 3, 2018

Every ad Ted Cruz and the Texas GOP put out makes me like Beto even more. — Very Stable Genius (@GIowing0rb) September 3, 2018

…..but he didn't call your wife ugly and he never accused your daddy of murder and he didn't give you the nickname #LyinTed. — Bruno Amato (@BrunoAmato_1) September 3, 2018

You’re obsessed with dildos & controlling how other people “stimulate their genitals” in their own homes, @tedcruz https://t.co/0NSpvLjpqR — Medicaid Matthew Cortland, Esq. ⚖ (@mattbc) September 3, 2018

I honestly think the campaign of @tedcruz has been compromised. Earlier he showed us that @BetoORourke goes by his nickname, he played in a band, and now he uses the F-word. Exactly what is the point, to shock us? As if there aren't more shocking things said and done in DC? — Chuck Gillis (@cfgillis2) September 3, 2018

I mean, exactly. I don’t know anyone in Texas who swears, drinks beer and listens to live music😂😂😂 Y’all stay away from Beto, you might just have fun while getting informed. @BetoORourke #BetoforSenate — Pamela Midkiff (@PamelaMidkiff) September 3, 2018

You're fucked, Ted. — Laurie Crosswell (@lauriecrosswell) September 3, 2018
