Ted Cruz–Zodiac Killer meme

Ted Cruz and a sketch of the Zodiac Killer

The Ted Cruz–Zodiac Killer meme is an Internet meme which originated in 2013 and gained popularity in 2015. The meme is a satirical conspiracy theory which posits United States senator Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. Ted Cruz was born in 1970 after the last confirmed Zodiac killing. Proponents of this meme generally do not genuinely believe that Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. The absurdity of the premise is the point. According to NPR, the meme captures an unease with Cruz. People "think he's creepy. And they want to point that out, as clearly as they can."
