Trying to prove Trump is not the conservative he says he is, Cruz’s campaign released a video entitled “Donald Trump’s New York Values” that linked to a 1999 interview Trump did on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in which Trump declared he favored a woman’s right to abortion and supported gay marriage.

“I find it very ironic that Ted Cruz has no trouble taking money from New York City but is quick to insult our people and values”, de Blasio said.
The day featured addresses by potential presidential candidates. “You know in terms of a commander in chief, I think we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed and tweeting in response to the latest polls”.
“The facts and the law here are really quite clear”, Cruz said, before suggesting that by Trump’s own logic, the billionaire himself would be disqualified because his mother was a native of Scotland.
The front page of the Daily News had the Statue of Liberty giving Cruz a rude gesture.
During one of several dust-ups with fellow GOP candidate (and native New Yorker) Donald Trump, Cruz launched into a speech slamming the values held by those in NY. Not to mention that it goes way, way beyond anything Ted Cruz had to say.
The season’s first GOP debate, aired in August on the Fox News Channel, was the most-watched for either party, with 24 million.
Trump quickly fired back at Cruz calling his remark a ‘very insulting statement’. “Instead of celebrating Christmas, New Yorkers celebrate a pagan holiday called “Festivus.’ Instead of watching American football, they challenge each other to masturbation contests”.
Trump went on to describe NY as a great place with loving people who rallied together on 9-11 in a way that moved the entire world. “I think he owes New Yorkers an apology, not that we want it or we would accept it”.
Presidential rival Donald Trump has questioned whether Cruz is eligible for the presidency. Even though there had been many high paying jobs just south in Pennsylvania, New Yorkers are denied the ability to provide for their families.

“Anyone who gives money to Ted Cruz should get their head examined”, King said. “I know he voted against New York City when it came to Sandy”, he added, criticizing the Texas senator’s vote against a hurricane relief funding bill that would have sent aid to the storm-hit city in 2013.
