He did not apologize for what HE said, he apologized to New Yorkers who have to live with liberal officials laws and rules:

"I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who've been let down by liberal politicians, he needled."

"He apologized to African-American children who Mayor de Blasio tried to throw out of their charter schools that were providing a pipeline to the American Dream."

"And in a final dig at the mayor, Cruz said New York law enforcement and first responders deserve an apology because de Blasio stands with looters and criminals."

I wonder what the name of that debate trick is.
