The feud between Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the radically liberal late night host Jimmy Kimmel escalated once again this week as they traded jabs on both television and Twitter.
Kimmel Attacks Cruz
The latest episode of this feud started when Kimmel mocked Cruz for his response to a new U.S. Army recruitment ad.
The Texas senator compared a Russian army ad to one from the U.S. Army. Based on the ad which featured a female soldier raised by two mothers, he felt that America’s military is becoming “woke” and “emasculated.”
Holy crap.
Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea…. https://t.co/8aVFMW98NM

Kimmel said of Cruz on his late night show, “Ted Cruz, who four years ago took permanent residence up the ass of a man who beat him in every election by calling his wife ugly and slandering his elderly father, says this is emasculating. Primarily because Ted Cruz is not human.”
“He is a moist, gelatinous tubeworm whose elastic-band pants are filled with an inky discharge every time he speaks,” he added grotesquely.

Cruz Fires Back At Kimmel
Cruz took to Twitter to fire back, saying that Kimmel “keeps talking crap. Really tough guy.”
“Here’s a reminder, when we played one-on-one, I kicked his a**,” Cruz added. “He has to live with that…forever. Rematch, punk?”
Cruz tweeted this alongside a link to video of a 2018 charity basketball game that he played against Kimmel. If you watch the video, you’ll see that Cruz was not lying when he said that he indeed “kicked his a**.”
.@JimmyKimmelLive keeps talking crap. Really tough guy.
Here’s a reminder, when we played one-on-one, I kicked his ass. He has to live with that…forever.
Rematch, punk?https://t.co/t8O0QCEaYS https://t.co/AltnpM2Lib

Kimmel’s response to this was both crass and disgusting, saying, “Oh Ted… you get so sad after you masturbate.”

Kimmel Comes Unglued
Fox News reported that on his show last night, Kimmel issued a lengthier response to Cruz for his Twitter dig.
“I don’t know if you know this, but we were attacked last night,” Kimmel said. “We were hit by another devastating Ted Cruz Twitter strike. Once again I found myself in a squabble with the Senate’s least-favorite senator, Ted Cruz, and once again guess who started it?… Me, I guess, I started it.”

After saying that the basketball game they played “was uglier than him,” Kimmel proceeded to try to use this incident to blast Cruz for claiming the 2020 election was stolen.
“After you won the game, do you remember what I did? I said ‘good game, thanks’ and I shook your disgusting hand,” Kimmel said. “I didn’t complain that it was rigged, I didn’t ask for a recount on the referee, I didn’t start a conspiracy theory about the basketball having a microchip in it. I brought shame on my family and I embraced it as I always do.”
Clearly, Cruz hit a nerve by ensuring that basketball video resurfaced!
Kimmel doesn’t seem to realize that the more he goes after Cruz, the more ignorant and lame he seems himself. Sad!
