Ted Cruz and Jimmy Kimmel
ABC/Randy Holmes
Ted Cruz might not test well in the court of public opinion, but there is one court where the Republican senator can dominate: a literal basketball court. The Texas politician bested late night host Jimmy Kimmel in a charity basketball game on Saturday (June 16), with Cruz beating Kimmel 11-9 to benefit the Texas Children’s Hospital.
There’s no hard feelings, clearly, with the politically opposed figures making nice on social media after the game; you can catch footage from the Blobfish Basketball Classic (yes, that’s its real name) on Monday (June 18) night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Agreed. Two great charities run by great people. https://t.co/VBDhB8YNso
