Ted Cruz’s weird beard briefly distracted us all from Trump’s border stunt

Donald Trump really did it, folks. Against all odds he found a way to distract the world from the 19 day government shut down — if only for a few minutes.

On Thursday, Trump took a trip down to the Mexican border to discuss the immigration crisis with border patrol agents, and guess who stood next to him: Senator Ted Cruz. But more importantly, Ted Cruz’s weird new beard.

Because it’s Texas (and Cruz likes to kiss ass) the Senator stopped by to support Trump, but it’s his beard that wound up stealing the spotlight. Seriously. The internet couldn’t look away.
