Tuesday was not Ted Cruz's night.
After making closing remarks to his supporters and dropping out of the presidential race, Cruz embraced members of his campaign.
But not before accidentally hitting his wife, Heidi Cruz, in the face with his hand as he went in for a hug with his father, Rafael Cruz.
Ted Cruz's elbow also hit his wife in the face. When he realized what he was doing, he brought her in for a group hug.
Twitter, of course, made its own commentary on the moment.

Ted Cruz doesn't know what to do with his hands this week. https://t.co/Rqp9QDx70T
