Some folks may remember that time when late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel accepted a challenge from Texas Senator Ted Cruz to a one-on-one basketball match for charity. For those who don’t, here’s a quick refresher on just how well that worked out for Kimmel:

Well, Senator Cruz certainly hasn’t forgotten, as evidenced by this absolutely crushing response to Kimmel’s post-election opening monologue:

Jimmy hasn’t cried this hard since I kicked his ass in basketball. https://t.co/xtOlApHiEd

Well played, Senator, in more ways than one.

BWAHAHAHAHA

We’re definitely getting close. and at this rate, it might wind up overflowing.

You know, I don’t think I realized just how funny you are, till I saw you Monday at your rally in Selma, TX.
I’ve always seen you as such a serious man. Thank you for showing your lighter side! I really enjoyed it!
