Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told BuzzFeed News that "[t]he actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the production company."

Tyler added: "Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad."

Lindsay, a Republican and Christian conservative, tweeted her disappointment at the ad being pulled. She reiterated to BuzzFeed that she had never done hardcore porn and had also acted in non-erotic films.
