Jimmy Kimmel trolled Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and exposed some Republican voters lack of geographical knowledge at the same time on Wednesdays episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Cruz last week retweeted footage of what he suggested showed supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) failing to name any country on a map:

Kimmel, however, pointed out the clip actually emanated from an episode of his show in 2018 and the political affiliation of the participants wasnt known.
So, he revisited the prank in honor of Cruz ― and only asked confirmed Republicans the question.

(6,488 posts)holy shit! I am completely flabbergasted at how stupid.
When the intro said they'd ask people to name a country, I thought they were going to point to a country. Well, they did that a couple times, but these people couldn't name a single country in the world.
