Ted Cruz in drag? Maury show features female ringer for GOP rival

Maury Povich’s TV show isn’t political, but it got tongues wagging this week when one of his female guests appeared to be the spittin’ image of Sen. Ted Cruz.

As the New York Daily News recounted: “A woman on the high-drama tabloid TV show shared a striking resemblance with the GOP presidential candidate, and the Internet had a field day with the likeness. A screenshot of the Cruz lookalike — who was a guest on Monday’s episode entitled “5 Men Tested … Will I Find My Daughter’s Father Today?” — spread online after it was posted to a pro-Donald Trump Reddit account this week. The woman, identified only by her first name, Searcy, appeared on the show with her boyfriend, who claimed their son wasn’t really his.”

So here’s how it went down on Twitter:
