On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel presented a skit in which he conversed with God (played by Billy Crystal) and Satan (played by Dave Grohl) to decide whether Ted Cruz should go to Hell.
Ultimately, Crystal and Grohl played “rock, paper, scissors” to determine Cruz’s fate, as neither of them wanted him, and Crystal issued some insults directed at Cruz.
Cruz fired back on Twitter, writing, “Really getting into the Christmas spirit, Jimmy Kimmel just aired a skit with ‘God & Satan’ arguing and eventually deciding that I should go to Hell. It’s almost as if Jimmy’s feelings are still hurt that I kicked his ass at hoops.”

Kimmel stated, “When things like this happen, I go directly to the top; I don’t mess around, and in this case, that is God, so, God, are you there?”- READ MORE
