Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz cause stir with photo of tiger pelt

[TexasTowelie]

SAN ANTONIO — A photo of freshman U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz kneeling with a rug that appears to be a tiger's pelt is generating a hullabaloo among activists and supporters on Thursday.

The photo, posted to Cruz's official Facebook page Wednesday, shows Texas' junior senator and U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posing next to a rug that appears to be the hide and face of a tiger in a Houston office. The caption of the photo reads: “Did a little shopping for the office with United States Senator Mike Lee in Houston today.”

Many comments on the photo say the rug is not real, but Catherine Frazier, a Cruz spokeswoman, said “we have no idea” if the rug is a real tiger pelt.

Tiger's are listed as endangered species by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature.

9. I guess the elephant leg trash can was out of stock

If you're going to show your utter lack of class a tiger skin rug pretty much is one way to take the gold.
