New York state representative Peter King is not one to hold his tongue on his true feelings about anything, so did you think the outspoken pol wasn’t gonna dig in on Ted Cruz today? Fuhgeddaboudit.
During an appearance on The Joe Piscopo Show Thursday morning, Rep. King slammed the Texas Senator amid the controversies he’s facing in — and prior rhetoric about — New York. Just twelve days before the New York primary, Cruz is on major damage control on the campaign trail after a disastrous day in the Bronx saw Cruz getting booed, heckled, and become subject of a big F-U from the New York Daily News.
“Let me say something about the New York primary,” King told Piscopo in no uncertain terms. “Any New Yorker who even thinks of voting for Ted Cruz should have their head examined. Really, here’s a guy who refused to sign onto the 9/11 health care act for the cops and fireman. Here’s a guy who talks about New York values.”
King continued, ”To me, New York values is what people did after 9/11,” invoking a similar response to the infamous Cruz critique that Donald Trump has been using on the campaign trail.
“We’re tough, and to have some guy like Ted Cruz with cowboy boots walk around criticizing us. Listen, I hope he gets the cold shoulder and other things from every New Yorker. Send him back where he belongs. He’s a phony,” noted the representative.
Of course, the criticism of the Texas Senator is unsurprising considering the fact that in March of last year, King threatened drastic personal action if Cruz ever won the party nomination — “I will jump off that bridge when we come to it.” Although King seems to have aligned his views on this issue with those of GOP frontrunner Trump, King was an avid supporter of Florida Senator Marco Rubio‘s bid for the party nom.
During the exchange, Piscopo loved every second of King’s candor. “Peter I love the way you’re honest on the radio, man.” Listen to the above clip from SoundCloud and The Joe Piscopo Show.
Yep. I wish they would donate some of the bundled money to the Freepathon as a business expense. Normal people could not sleep well at night doing what they do.
According to many new polls. Cruz's negatives ( that means people who don't like him ), are higher than Hillary's. Yes, I find that weird too, but don't go holding up Ted as uncorruptable, an "outsider", nor "principled"; he's none of those things.
You never heard of Charlie Rangle, I guess, nor any of the many other VERY corrupt Congress Critters I guess. Bless your heart.
Oh get off your high horse; you’ve been ALINSKYING Trump for 8+ months now, you bloody hypocrite.
And you rabid Cruzites are more than welcome to CRAZY Glenn Beck; diddums. LOL
Cruz shall NEVER be the nominee nor president; thank GOD!
I never say never...
Cruz doesn't get 20% in ANY N.Y. state poll; he gets 12% low to 17% high and shall most probably get more toward the lower end of the polls there.
Local radio hosts HATE him, state wide newspapers hate him, and neither Rush nor Levin is going to help here there at all!

I've been here years longer than you have and I don't have a thing on my home page either. It isn't required, you know; or perhaps you don't. It doesn't mean a damned thing! I don't have a tag lined either, so are you going to claim that that makes me "inauthentic", not a CONSERVATIVE, and/or a troll? LOL
He’s a Mexican citizen...worth 6.3 billion. http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/business-a-lobbying/210290-cruz-vacations-with-media-mogul
Then by all means...LEARN TO SAY IT; that word shall serve you well and soon.
I’ve found that imbeciles who think they know everything and actually know very little tend to use the term a lot and they generally end up proving it.
So I’ll pass on that.
[So what?]
I’m just sick of people berating others on this site.
Believe it or not, some things ARE “absolutes” and those who claim otherwise are the idiots and prove it daily/nightly.
By posting that ANYONE without a filled up home page and/or no tag line are “suspect” ? That’s patently ridiculous; go try to link up another lie; one more plausible.
Stupid post on my part.
And you rabid Cruzites are more than welcome to CRAZY Glenn Beck; diddums. LOL
Would you care to enlighten me regarding what makes Cruz supporters more “Rabid” than Trump supporters?
No, I still don’t care much for King.
Speaking for myself and for some others here, not everyone is a techy and either has no idea how to post anything on a home page and/or doesn't have anything they want to post to it.
As someone who began posting to FR on a WebTV machine, it was very difficult and took vast tech knowledge to post pictures, etc. being a "WEBBIE". Granted, I am on a laptop now, but still don't know how to post pictures, etc. and do NOT care to learn.
