Matt Leinart Attacked By Clowns For Taking Photo With Ted Cruz

The internet, once again, is proving to be full of idiots and members of the woke outrage mob.

It's no secret that people online like to attack people they don't know over a variety of different things, and a Thursday tweet from Matt Leinart put that fact on display.

The former USC QB posted a photo of himself with Texas Senator Ted Cruz with the caption, "Happy 4th [American flag emoji]."

Pretty simple and neat. Nothing scandalous about it at all.

Unfortunately, we live in very dumb times, and people simply can't live and let live. They have to opine on everything….including a simple photo.

That's a small sampling of the comments floating around X right now. It's honestly incredible that people feel the need to tweet at a former QB over taking a photo with a politician.

It's the definition of a loser move. If you see a politician from either party and want to grab a photo, go for it. I've met President Biden twice, and took photos with him both times.

I don't like President Biden, but he's the POTUS. Am I going to say no to a photo with the guy who has access to the nuclear launch codes? Absolutely not. Same logic applies here. Ted Cruz is a popular Senator. You can agree with him or not, but there's no question he's one of the most recognizable politicians in America.

Attacking someone for taking a photo with him or any other politician is just putting your own foolishness on display. It was the 4th of July! Shouldn't people have things to do like party and spend time with friends and family? Instead, they were wasting their time tweeting at Matt Leinart.

Take photos with whoever you want, ignore the critics online and never apologize for having fun. Leinart didn't do anything wrong. Let me know if you agree at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
