Antigay presidential hopeful Ted Cruz has yanked a new ad after discovering Amy Lindsay, the featured actress, had previously starred in a handful of softcore adult films.
The ad, titled “Conservatives Anonymous,” was released Thursday. It features a woman stridently asking Americans to “vote for more than just a pretty face next time.” (A joke at Marco Rubio that doesn’t quite land.)
The joke that does land is the fact that the woman is played by Amy Lindsay, an actress who’s appeared in such films as Secrets of a Chambermaid, Milf, Sex Sent Me To The ER, and Carnal Wishes.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Cruz’s team quickly pulled the ad, claiming they had no idea of Lindsay’s previous work.
Catherine Frazier, Cruz’s press secretary, was quick to point out that the campaign would never knowingly hire an adult film actress.
“Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the casting company,” she said. “Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad. The campaign is taking the ad down and will replace it with a different commercial.”
The actress is, in fact, a Republican and a Christian conservative — and she thought it’d be “cool” for a porn star to star in a political ad.
Extremely disappointed the #TedCruz campaign pulled the national television spot I had a role in… @CNN @Foxnews #moretocome #myvotecounts

She told Buzzfeed, ” “In a cool way, then hey, then it’s not just some old, white Christian bigot that people want to say, ‘It could be, maybe, a cool kind of open-minded woman like me.’”
Watch the hideous ad below.

Way to sensationalize. Amy Lindsay wasn’t a lesbian porn star. She did hetero softcore cable movies. I’m guessing the only reason Cruz didn’t know who she was is because no one watches softcore porn anymore.

I hope this is the lesson that Amy Lindsay needed to leave the dark side as she comes face to face with the HATRED that is the foundation of all Republican politics.

TransRectalUltraSoundTed is a bull in a china shop. Trus Cruz had better start thinking about really earning a real living, to support his daughters, the fruit of his wife’s womb, who are also repulsed by his force affection. Magnetic? ….0.5 PicoT?

Ha! Ha! Serves the idiot clown right for making a homophobic ad in the first place. I think it’s divine justice.

Amy Lindsay is disgusting. She appeared in “movies” where she performed soft homosexual scenes with other women for the benefit of sleazy straight guys. That’s hardly being respectful to the gay rights cause. I find such behavior on the part of women to extremely disrespectful to the gay rights cause.
Then our dear Amy goes and appears in an ad for Ted Cruz? This woman is pathetic.
Women who accept cash to demean themselves in front of men are the worst type of women around in my opinion.

Then he went back and looked up her videos, just to be sure . . .

Tedwina Cruzzy-Wuzzy really does not understand what he is saying and his Dad saying that – “Gays will Try To Legalize Pedophilia” is so obtuse that it is not even worth mentioning.
