 A January 2016 investigation by Miles Klee of "The Daily Dot" found the first use of the meme to be by a Twitter user in March 2013, as Cruz was speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference and vowing to repeal the Affordable Care Act.The meme was not repeated until November 2014, by another Twitter user writing about Cruz's proposal against net neutrality.It continued in obscurity up to February 2016, when another Twitter user used Photoshop to edit a picture of a Republican debate in order to include "Is Ted Cruz the Zodiac Killer?"
