Texas senator and 2016 presidential hopeful, Ted Cruz, is in the hot seat with the city of NY after a disparaging remark this week delivered to Donald Trump.

Back when Donald Trump was miles ahead of everybody in the polls, he said that silly birther issue with presidential candidate Ted Cruz was silly.
The exchange between Trump and Cruz on Cruz being born in Canada occurred early in the debate and lasted for around seven minutes.
The New York Times ran an analysis of all of Trump’s speeches, interviews and press conferences, calling his speech patterns “ominous”.
During the GOP debate, Cruz got into hot water for suggesting Trump had NY values.
Separately, Cruz campaign spokeswoman Catherine Frazier responded to the growing criticism of the “New York values” dis in an email asking: “The question is, do we want our future leadership to look like that of New York City’s?”
“Everybody that loves the people of NY, and all they have been thru, should get hypocrites like Ted Cruz out of politics!”
“I don’t think Americans are going to have a good reaction”. Asked how he knows, McCarthy said: “Because his mother’s an American”.
In one particularly provocative Twitter post, Trump posted a photo of the ruins of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and asked if that was the same NY that Cruz was knocking.
“To be honest, I don’t know what Donald’s position is”, Cruz said.
Cruz and Trump were set to cross paths later Saturday in Myrtle Beach, where they are both set to speak in the afternoon at a tea party convention. “I’m proud to be a New Yorker so I’d just say “thank you for the compliment” and move forward”.
“I apologize to all the pro-life and pro-marriage and pro-second amendment New Yorkers who were told by Governor Cuomo that they have no place in NY because that’s not who New Yorkers are”.
Trump said that fire departments from all over the country mobilized to help NY in the following days, including units from Iowa.
Cruz, for his part, still shows no signs of backing down from the comments, which were meant to be an attack on his GOP rival Donald Trump.
“I didn’t have a process server serve him right on the debate stage in South Carolina”, Schwartz said by phone Friday, adding that he paid the $400 filing fee out of his own pocket.
“I guess the bromance is over”, Trump told reporters Thursday in North Charleston, S.C., where the two had just clashed in the debate.
