During Thursday night’s Republican debate on Fox Business, Trump faced criticism from the crowd in SC after he attempted to lob attacks at Texas Senator (and closest polling threat) Ted Cruz.

For eight hours, Trump attacked Cruz for not reporting two bank loans he used to finance his 2012 Senate campaign, for being born in Canada, and for bashing Trump’s “New York Values”.
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. It has allowed the Cruz campaign to resurface Trump’s old liberal positions in a way that doesn’t seem stale and like something the media has covered before.
He pointed to a 1999 “Meet the Press” interview in which Trump cited his NY roots as key to his value system.
“I am disgusted at the insult”, the mayor also said, “that Ted Cruz threw at this city and its people, and the bottom line is he does not understand in the least NY values”.
‘I invite you to come to the National 9-11 Memorial and Museum and see for yourself, and perhaps learn something about, the values of New Yorkers and the Heroes who defended American values on September 11th, 2001’. “When the World Trade Center came down, I saw something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than NY”.
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.
“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.
“Of course NY is mostly Democrat, right? Instead, we welcome people of all backgrounds, and we embrace immigrants with open arms”, Cuomo and de Blasio wrote. The people of NY fought and fought and fought. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a series of tweets on Saturday.
“And we rebuilt downtown Manhattan, and everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved NY and loved New Yorkers”.
I apologize to the hard working men and women of the state of NY who have been denied jobs because Governor Cuomo won’t allow fracking.

Trump quickly fired back at Cruz calling his remark a ‘very insulting statement’.
