Original Note:
The tweets in this screenshot are fake. While Ted Cruz has tweeted about various mass shootings in the past, and some included similar phrases like "Heidi & I are praying" and "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
