【Watch The End of the Fucking World】

We could Watch The End of the Fucking Worldall use a hug sometimes, but nobody wants a hug from Sen. Ted Cruz.

Actress Alyssa Milano is known to get pretty political on Twitter, so it's surprising that Ted Cruz walked himself into this embarrassing situation, but then again, it's Ted Cruz.

Milano sent her 3.14 million followers a digital group hug on Tuesday, asking all to get in on the action. But when Cruz tried to get in on the action, things got weird.

"We all need a hug!" Cruz tweeted to Milano on Thursday along with a super creepy winky face emoji, usually reserved for, you know, sex stuff.

Sorry, Cruz, nobody wants to show you affection. Not even your blood relatives.

Remember: Ted Cruz is real bad at hugs. Remember that time he dropped out of the presidential race and swiftly elbowed his wife in the face?

Maybe just stick to holding hands, Teddy.
