Ted Cruz got the Bronx cheer Wednesday from angry New Yorkers upset over the Republican presidential candidate’s callous “New York values” crack and his harsh stance on immigration.
Cruz was crucified during a stop in the Bronx, where residents and elected leaders derided him for insulting the city and the borough, only to come crawling back begging for money and votes.
“Just because he has a Hispanic last name does not mean he's Hispanic,” said hairstylist Edna Ferrer, 57, who was chastising Cruz supporters outside a campaign event in the Bronx. “His mind is white.”
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. slammed Cruz as a hypocrite earlier — just hours before Cruz met with his father in the Bronx. Ruben Diaz Sr. represents the area in the state Senate.
“Ted Cruz is a hypocrite. He not only offended New Yorkers, he offended Bronxites, and now he’s here today in New York and in the Bronx looking for money and votes,” Diaz Jr. said.
“We in the Bronx know how offensive he’s been. We know the truth about our borough.”

Cruz had harsh words for Mayor de Blasio, Gov. Cuomo, Rep. Charles Rangel and disgraced pols Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner in his soliloquy about all that is wrong with New York.
Asked what he meant by “New York values,” Cruz defined the term as values held by liberal politicians who reject charter schools, school choice and support for fearless police officers.
“Those are the values, the values of the New York liberal politicians that have been hammering the people of this great state,” Cruz said, tagging de Blasio as the worst offender.
“Every time there is a confrontation between criminals and cops, he sides with the criminals, looters and rioters instead of the police officers.”.
This from the guy who sided with BLM and the Chicago thugs last month. Cruz truly is a detestable POS.
My old home town proving itself to be classless.
Cruz will be lucky to get above a single digit percentage in NY.
Cue up the Don Henley, New York Minute.
So do you think that they should be happy a Canadian insulted New York?
Why is masterful campaigner Cruz looking for republican voters in that area?
Those new York values.
Pathetic
You know you are quoting the NY Daily News right? A liberal rag that does the bidding for the democratic party. Man you have lost your way when you quote a rag like this to diss on Cruz. Go take a shower man!
Maybe he was just searching for a pastrami on rye.
Chuck Schumer Charlie Rangel country.
White minds and taxes have been feeding, clothing, housing, and schooling the non-whites of the Bronx for decades; I’m very proud of my “white mind” and culture.
A CBS reporter tweeted that she asked the Vermont senator about Clinton's calls for him to apologize to Sandy Hook victims because of his stance against holding gun manufacturers liable for gun crimes. Sanders reportedly responded by saying that Clinton should apologize to the victims of the Iraq War, which she voted in favor of as a senator.
LOL, take that Hillary!
When Ted talked and talked and talked and talked and talked about New York values, I knew the day was coming when he would regret it.
Welcome to reality Mr. sCruz (loose).
Chuck U Schumer directions.
New York values on display.
My values are much more in line with Wiconsin than they are with New York.
At least Ted has the balls to go somewhere he is not liked...
Lets see trump get on the debate stage.
