Earlier this week, Cruz insulted Trump and his “New York values” – a dig that infuriated local politicians and inspired Daily News to declare “Drop Dead, Ted” on its Friday front page.
Ted Cruz (Tex.) spar at Thursday night’s debate.
Trump had been questioning Cruz’s eligibility for president, given his birth in Canada, and had begun playing “Born in the U.S.A.” at his rallies.
“I think Ted Cruz has actually created a lot of anger, not only here, but a lot of people around this country are going to see this as divisive, negative and I think he owes the people of NY an apology”, De Blasio told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

Following his appearances on television on Friday, Trump had a scheduled speech in Iowa and said he would have a free screening of the film 13 Hours, which is about the attack in Benghazi that killed three Americans.
But King pushed back against the comments, repeating Trump’s defense of New York City during 9/11, saying that people from all around the city responded and that New Yorkers served and died in the war in Iraq.

The first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses are just over two weeks away, so that leaves little time for pulling punches. “I don’t”, Bartiromo said.
“I’m always open to give him an education on what NY values are all about”, Cuomo said on NY1.
“So she’s sounding more like a Republican, and I think she’s helping to galvanize support for Bernie”, D’Amato added.

“I’m sure he won’t take a donation from anyone in New York”, Cuomo said.
