CNN’s Chris Cuomo locks horns with Sen. Cruz on Twitter

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo and Republican senator Ted Cruz from Texas thumb-wrestled on Twitter Tuesday night, where both men accused the other of doing their jobs poorly.

Cruz got things started by tweeting that the 2020 presidential election, which President Trump lost and continues to contest, isn’t over until the incumbent has exhausted all his legal options.

“That didn’t used to be a controversial position,” Cruz tweeted.

Cuomo tweeted at Cruz that his take on the situation is “wrong” and blamed him for slowing the transition between the outgoing administration and president-elect Joe Biden’s team, which will soon be responsible for distributing a vaccine to address the out of control pandemic.

“Own it," Cuomo warned. “Because the position owns you and will be remembered.”

Cruz, 49, tweeted back at the 50-year-old pundit “Hush child.”

Cuomo responded by noting Cruz had earlier called a fellow senator an “ass” during a dispute about wearing masks in the capitol while COVID-19 is tearing through Texas.

“Senator, you have people on lines for food in your state,” Cuomo wrote. “Focus on them...on those children. Every day you delay relief the line grows. #DoYourJob.”

Cruz countered by claiming Republicans have pushed for COVID-relief and blamed Democrats for blocking their efforts.

“You should call on your own party to stop blocking relief,” he tweeted at the newsman, whose brother is the Democratic governor of New York. “I suspect you never reported on that fact to your viewers.”
