The New York Daily News was blasted online for a cover set to hit newsstands Friday targeting Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz.
"DROP DEAD, TED," read bold letters on the front page of the liberal newspaper - directly next to an image of the Statue of Liberty giving the senator the middle finger.
Stop the presses! A new Page 1... DROP DEAD, TED: https://t.co/68hKgqmjBx pic.twitter.com/veDsxLYDTN - New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) January 15, 2016 |
The cover was a response to comments the Texas senator made about "New York values." Earlier this week, Cruz went after 2016 rival Donald Trump by arguing that the businessman had "New York values" and, thus, wasn't aligned with Iowa voters.
During Thursday night's debate, the senator stood by his remarks and argued "not many conservatives come out of Manhattan." In a poignant moment, Trump offered a powerful rebuttal invoking 9/11 that earned him much praise.
Readers of the Daily News, however, seemed to care less about the comments Cruz had made and more about the over-the-top statement the paper had printed on its cover. Some even contended the Daily News was proving Cruz's point.
@NYDailyNews I am NOT a supporter of Cruz, however this picture is disgusting, even for N.Y, media. - Steven Nelson (@sn64867) January 15, 2016 |
@NYDailyNews Way to perfectly illustrate Cruz's point. This is embarrassing. - John Iaquinta (@JohnnyMets213) January 15, 2016 |
@NYDailyNews Oh yeah, that'll teach 'em some values! How the hell are you hacks still selling papers? - Nancy (@EnPointe2) January 15, 2016 |
@NYDailyNews wtf is wrong with you?? You just can't wish death on ppl! Everyone has a right to their own personal opinion. #blocked - Noyb (@_smthbtful) January 15, 2016 |
@NYDailyNews Cover proves @Tedcruz #NYValues right. Majority of #USA rejects this low brow behavior. It's Immature and Ignorant. #tcot #gop - American Fact (@AmericanFact) January 15, 2016 |
A spokesperson for Cruz's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheBlaze.

These are the values Trump defended last night. According to Trump, , hey, NY suffered a lot 15 years go, so, their values,( unlike everyone else's), are above criticism. And Trump DOES hold a lot of NY values.
Cruz was right, Donald was wrong, he has too much deference for left wing extremist partisans (Like Lawrence Tribe, Trump's favorite "jurist," who has exactly the same view of the Constitution as Obama: "it says whatever you want it to say").
He goes back 2/3 of a century to find William F Buckley emerging as a conservative from NYC in 1954
New York Times, New York Daily News, Washington Post: Trump’s favorite newspapers.
Given the incest and Deliverance-type jokes that moneyed New Yorkers tend to toss around about Southerners, I'm impressed that Trump is getting significant traction in the South.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was not “somewhat” contrived...the entire focus is on them...
Nobody on that stage last night is going to be a VP candidate, except maybe Fiorina, though I doubt it. Whoever gets the Prez nomination will pick somebody who has not been part of this fracas.
The Daily News showing off their NY “values” for lack of a better word.
Know how many ex NYers live in the south? :)

So you polled everyone from New York?
You got that right
I don’t know. It would be interesting to learn how positively or negatively the reaction would be in the various 50 states to the terms “New York values” or “California Values” or such. My inclination is that it would be pretty slantedly negative, just based on anecdotes.
A lot of libs from those states have moved in to ‘flyover’ over country, bringing their liberalism with them, and led to a lot of really, really bad feelings.
I have problems with Ted being a lawyer and as a first term senator, think about JFK and Obama.
However, this bs from a dying NY newspaper will help Ted like the negative bs from liberal mediots helps Trump!
NYC has changed since 9/11, and the current mayor is a prime example of NY sinking level of morality.
There are still good people in NYC, but they are rapidly becoming a minority as NYC adopts more Gay Frisco morality.
Ted should use this fishwrap’s cover in the other states beside NY and of course my state, Californicator land.
Ted should have his researchers to check on how many NYCers live in Floriduh for the winter and vote in both Floriduh and NYC in presidential elections.
New York should turn the Statue over to its rightful owners: New Jersey.
Oh my, with all due respect, your grand parents etc. being honest does not give NYC values,
You've been dreaming. Cruz is a Conservative, Trump is a liberal. If cruz were to take a VP chair from Trump, it would be the end of his career, and all his support would evaporate.
How about Ted as AG. President Trump could fire all of the left wing lawyers in the in Justice department. Then, AG Ted could clean out the rest of the trash on JD.
Next Ted could send the criminals in DC to jail.
Then, whenever, a Scotus position comes up, Ted gets appointed.
The politics of NY is communism. Unless they vote Democrat, dead or alive, your post has nothing to do with Cruz’ statement.
“there’s a lot of blue collar, working class people in NY too...”
Aww, big whup. I’m from Chicago. As a conservative, do you think I get upset every time a Republican has attacked “Chicago politics” or “the Chicago way” over the last 8 years?
Not in the least. Any decent people living in Chicago know that it’s a liberal cesspool, and any decent people living in New York City know their city is a liberal cesspool too.
I’m reminded of Bengals fans.
The dying Daily News has made a conscious decision to go out with the bang of a suicide bomber. In the last few weeks it has gone insane. After the San Bernadino Islamic terror spree, their front page was a mocking attack on Republican politicians for engaging in Christian prayer about it. Not a bad word to say about the murderers though. They have no interest in being hebdoed.
I believe your assessment is CORRECT.
