Ted Cruz called out Jimmy Kimmel tonight for besmirching his support of the Houston Rockets, challenging him to a basketball game.
It all started Jimmy Kimmel mocking Cruz as the ‘ugliest animal in the world’:
In response to this, Cruz tweeted this challenge to Kimmel:
Nice. I like the $5k to charity part.
Kimmel responded jokingly that he accepts on one condition…
I like this idea. I’ll accept on one condition - we both wear VERY short shorts. https://t.co/rKxgHuPCjW

Cruz hit back, telling Jimmy “how ’bout you just dress yourself, I’ll do the same”:
As Borat demonstrated conclusively, NOBODY wants to see that. And ABC would probably be fined by the FCC! How ‘bout this: you dress yourself, I’ll do the same. Play to 10 (by ones), win by 2. https://t.co/B2MrOkBipI

Kimmel, clearly not wanting to truly accept the challenge, tweeted this dumb response:
Crop tops? https://t.co/Nt2ti4SYYx

Ted Cruz ended it with this one:

It’s all in good fun, and once again Cruz proves that he’s a classy guy…and clever. Especially on social media.
