“To all the gullible reporters who are ‘reporting’ that I asked to be on the guest list at a Nine Inch Nails concert: uh, no, NIN is not my music taste,” Cruz said in a tweet.

To all the gullible reporters who are “reporting” that I asked to be on the guest list at a Nine Inch Nails concert: uh, no, NIN is not my music taste. He was clearly joking. And for the record, I also didn’t “drink all his beer” the last time...but I would have! #FakeNews https://t.co/ZNr292SCVl — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 29, 2018

On Tuesday, Reznor captured headlines after he claimed at a concert that he told Cruz to “f--- off” after he asked to be put on the guest list for the show.

In video captured in Dallas, Reznor, who has long been politically vocal, can be seen asking the crowd: “Who voted for Ted Cruz? See, the lights aren’t on, I can’t see. Is there any way to turn the lights on? I’d like to see.”

“Raise your hand, you guys, nothing to be ashamed of, just checking,” he continued.

He then went on to claim that Cruz, who this month won his reelection bid against Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D), had tried to attend the concert but was denied VIP status.

“He might be here tonight. He was bugging to get on the guest list, and I told him to f--- off,” said Reznor.

He also claimed during the show that the group placed Cruz on their guest list several years ago, but alleged that “he drank all the beer, and was just a pain in the ass to be around.”

“Can’t hold it against you,” he added in the clip.
