The Republican U.S. senator from Texas tweeted: “Trevor Noah whines that people are fleeing high-tax blue states & moving in droves to low-tax states like Texas, where the jobs are. Doesn’t understand why people like freedom.” To which Noah responded via The Daily Show account, bashing Cruz for fleeing Texas during the blackouts this past winter: “Not sure I’d be using the words ‘fleeing’ and ‘Texas’ in the same sentence, Senator Cancun." Cruz doubled down, tweeting: “I wear your scorn with pride. I remember when the Daily Show was funny." UPDATE: Jon Stewart responded to Cruz, tweeting: "Ummm...you remember last night?? Bravo."
