A super PAC named after the zodiac killer is taking aim at Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as he prepares to run for reelection in 2018.
Called the zodiacPAC, the left-leaning group admits Cruz was not the zodiac killer who terrorized northern California in the 1960s and 1970s.
"That would be ridiculous," the group's website reads. "The Zodiac Killer was a brutal murderer in the 1960s, before Ted Cruz was born.
"The zodiac meme is like a political cartoon for the digital age. It's outlandish, but it highlights Ted Cruz's fundamental meanness — someone who cares more about his own ambition and fame than the people of Texas."
During Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign, some people jokingly called him the zodiac killer, even though they knew it was impossible he could have been.
Cruz, who finished second to Donald Trump last summer in the Republican race for president, said Thursday he supports his party's latest healthcare bill.
