A Texas woman trolled Sen. Ted Cruz is a posed photo that's gone viral on Twitter.

The woman, who lives in Austin and identifies herself as Rebecca, is all smiles with Cruz as they stand side-by-side for a photo in an airport. Draped around her neck is a sign that reads, "Texas deserves better than Cruz!"

Rebecca tweeted the photo on Friday. By Monday, the photo had been retweeted nearly 25,000 times and liked nearly 114,000 times.

"Got to meet someone who supposedly represents me!" Rebecca wrote along with the tweet. "Not for much longer, though!" She appears to not be a fan of Cruz, adding the hashtag #BetoForTexas and tagged both Cruz and his opponent Rep. Beto O'Rourke in the tweet.

Rebecca told people in the photo's Twitter thread that the sign was "buttoned over" before she took the photo and that the photo was taken after a flight from Washington D.C. to Dallas.

Cruz is up for re-election this November, with O'Rourke challenging him for the seat.
