Original Note:
The tweets in this screenshot are fake. While Ted Cruz has tweeted about various mass shootings in the past, and some including similar phrases like "lifting up in prayer," they did not follow the same template and did not use the same exact words. https://apnews.com/article/Fact-Check-Fake-Ted-Cruz-Tweets-844506090841 https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/national-verify/no-sen-ted-cruz-didnt-tweet-the-same-message-after-different-mass-shootings-fact-check/536-9fd9bfc3-34d9-47cb-99fa-e1d816c6ef59
