When you’re running to become the president of the most powerful country in the western hemisphere, you can be sure everyone will be looking at your past, looking for those dirty, deepest and darkest secrets in your life and that’s what some may have done for former president candidate Ted Cruz who may or may not be the frontman of the Christian metal band Stryper.

The Daily Dot found a random post showing the suspected Zodiac killer and republican president runner Ted Cruz next to Stryper’s frontman Michael Sweet comparing them to the point where it seems like Sweet and Cruz are the same person.

To play it off, Cruz, errr, Sweet decided to share the funny pic and established that “they” just look like each other, like VERY much.

So I guess my doppelgänger is @tedcruz? Guess I better cancel the @Stryper tour so I can focus on my campaign;-) pic.twitter.com/3ODcvA0Bjd

The truth of the matter is, we know they can’t be the same person. Cruz has stated previously that he stopped liking rock music after 9/11, which makes sense with the accusations of a young hero who followed him around saying he liked Nickelback, so don’t worry, this is just a silly gag. Now about the Zodiac killer theory…
