Hillary Clinton takes jab at Ted Cruz, calling the Texas senator an 'eternal blowhard'
  • Hillary Clinton called out Sen. Ted Cruz on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" on Thursday.
  • "I would have to say Ted Cruz is the eternal blowhard, right?" Clinton said.

Hillary Clinton took a jab at Ted Cruz during a late-night talk show appearance, calling the Texas senator a "blowhard."

Clinton made the comments during an appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" Thursday night.

During the "Plead the Fifth" segment, host Andy Cohen asked Clinton: "You served as a Senator from 2001 to 2009. What US Senator is, or was the biggest blowhard?"

"Oh, too many to count," the former secretary of state responded. "I would have to say Ted Cruz is the eternal blowhard, right?"

Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, were on the program promoting their new Apple TV+ series called "Gutsy."

Cruz responded to Clinton in a tweet on Friday with the caption: "This you?" The tweet included a clip of Clinton speaking with PBS News Hour in 2019 about a "rematch" with former President Donald Trump.

Clinton has previously taken digs at Cruz, especially after the Republican senator made headlines last year for traveling to Cancun, Mexico amid a devastating winter storm in Texas and allegedly leaving his poodle, Snowflake, behind.

"Don't vote for anyone you wouldn't trust with your dog," Clinton tweeted at the time.

On "Watch What Happens Live," Cohen also asked the 74-year-old if she's seen several dramatic interpretations of her family on television and in film, including the 1998 movie "Primary Colors."

"I have not watched any of them," Clinton said. "I've lived it. There's no reason to watch it."
