On 28 December 2015, an image purportedly showing a "Netflix and Chill" contest on TedCruz.org, the campaign web site for Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate, began circulating via Twitter.

The Ted Cruz "Netflix and Chill" contest was created as a joke, most likely to mock the candidate's religious beliefs. Cruz, an advocate for "traditional marriage," would like not engage in a "Netflix and Chill" encounter with a random campaign donor because "Netflix and Chill" is basically a slang term for sex:
It means that you are going to go over to your partner's house and f*ck with Netflix in the background.
