According to the Associated Press and Politifact, these are fabricated. Ted Cruz did not post identical tweets after mass shootings. https://apnews.com/article/Fact-Check-Fake-Ted-Cruz-Tweets-844506090841 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/may/27/tweets/no-ted-cruz-doesnt-tweet-same-thoughts-and-prayers/

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1655564006080249861
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
