Donald Trump supporters were not laughing as Ted Cruz showed off his funny side on late night television Wednesday.

Appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for some light banter, Cruz was asked how he really felt about Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

To illustrate his feelings, Cruz described a scenario about being in the driver’s seat of a car while Trump stands within striking distance.

What would Cruz do?

Cruz to Kimmel: “If I was in my car getting ready to reverse and I saw Donald in the back-up camera, I’m not sure which pedal I would push.”

Trump supporters weren’t amused:

@AudaciouslyDope @brianmrosenthal If Trump said this, the media would kill him for it

@brianmrosenthal, this was probably tested in front of 10 focus groups, before he used it. #LyinTed

@brianmrosenthal The back-up camera and not the rearview mirror — rich people problems.

There were some “Cruzers” who appreciated the laugh:

@brianmrosenthal I thought it was hilarious! Of course he isn’t serious. I am not sure what I would do either!@tedcruz @JimmyKimmelLive

@oliverdarcy might be the most honest moment of his campaign and I like it
