Everyone knows what Ted was talking about. He was not referring to New York firemen during 9-11.

He was referring to the fact that New York politics are liberal. And they have the media as their hand-picked megaphone.

Just ask anyone who lives in upstate New York.

New York City dominates New York the way Chicago dominates Illinois, but once you get a fair distance from those two cities and their metropolitan areas, both states are fairly conservative. I guess the same could be said for California once you get outside of San Francisco and LA.

“Everyone knows what Ted was talking about. He was not referring to New York firemen during 9-11.”

If “everybody” did, then you guys wouldn’t need to keep trying to explain it.

Did he say anything specifically? No? Ok, then. That is why you have this issue today.

And if the best anyone can do is depend on the Blaze and some tweets from some random people to run cover, then it’s even worse.

Which is why Ted should have qualified it better. He could have struck out at the media, NY elites, Wall Street fat cats (though that's risky with Heidi's occupation) billionaires (Trump) etc., but he simply said "New York values"...there's a lot of blue collar, working class people in NY too, and the media will milk that for all it's worth. Something else that will take him off message and focus.
