The ongoing feud between Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and comedian Trevor Noah continues on Twitter.
After Twitter announced a new feature to monitor potential cyber-bullying, Trevor Noah cracked a joke at Cruz's expense on The Daily Show.
Needless to say, Cruz was watching and did not enjoy what he saw.

Cruz responded with a somewhat confusing bit of shade, comparing Noah to Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction.

Noah, who has a little more experience when it comes to comedy, responded with a question referencing Cruz's continued fealty to his former rival Donald Trump.
Ted, what's the best way to end this feud: by insulting your wife or your dad? https://t.co/SW4FxuEi43— The Daily Show (@The Daily Show)1620420254.0
Twitter couldn't help but eagerly watch the feuding factions, though it was worth remembering one of them is an entertainer and one is a Republican lawmaker.

Of course, Cruz's chances of winning a Twitter fight in the eyes of the public were always low.

Noah predictably scooped up his fair share of accolades for the burn.

The insults between these two public figures will likely continue, with Cruz likely coming out on the bottom of any exchange involving clever retorts.
