Ted Cruz Pulls Presidential Campaign Ad that Starred a Soft-Porn Actress

Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz was forced to remove one of his two attack ads over a female actress who reportedly has a history in soft porn.

In the 30-second ad, a self-help group is gathered in a circle to talk about how they felt after being lied to. A man speaks up and talks about how he voted for "a guy who was a Tea Party hero on the campaign trail" who later "cut a deal on amnesty." The man adds that he felt "dumb for trusting him." A woman then says, "Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time." After her comment, the scene moves to a latecomer who is wearing a Marco Rubio t-shirt.

Although the ad appeared to be a simple and straightforward attack on Rubio, Cruz pulled it immediately after his campaign found out that the actress, Amy Lindsay, who made the "pretty face" comment had previously starred in porn.

Cruz's campaign spokesman Rick Tyler told Buzzfeed News, "The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the production company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad."

Lindsay tweeted her disappointment at Cruz's decision to pull the ad.

She wrote: "Extremely disappointed the #TedCruz campaign pulled the national television spot I had a role in... @CNN @Foxnews#moretocome #myvotecounts"

In the other ad, which has remained on the air, Cruz attacks Trump for forcing a woman, Vera Coking, off of her property in Atlantic City, NJ simply because he wanted to build a parking lot in that particular spot for his casino.

The one-minute ad says, "Trump uses power for personal gain. Imagine what he could do as president.

Cruz recently finished third in the New Hampshire primary after Trump, who won with 35.3 percent of the votes, and John Kasich, who received 15.8 percent of the votes.
