No, Ted Cruz Did Not Invite People to ‘Netflix and Chill’

Sigh.

No, Ted Cruz did not invite people to “Netflix and chill” with him, despite this pretty-clearly-Photoshopped image going around Twitter:

And this surprisingly got a lot of play on Twitter tonight:

By the way, if you got through all this and have no idea what “Netflix and chill” means… well, let’s just say there’s more to the “chill” than you think.
