After all we have been through as a city and as one undivided nation, to have a United States senator running for President paint New York as a city consumed with greed, sin and media obsession is shocking. Sen. Ted Cruz should apologize to the people of New York for his remarks and to the people of the United States for his crass attempt to divide us. And whatever our inclinations in the presidential race, all of us should be proud of Donald Trump's strong, truthful and eloquent defense of our great city and nation.
As the late, great New Yorker, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, made clear in his authoritative analysis of the federal budget, every year New York sends billions of dollars more to Washington, D.C., than Washington sends to us. And one of the reasons for that is Wall Street, the financial engine that makes all the programs we support, Republican, Democrat and bi-partisan, possible. When Sen. Cruz and so many of the other candidates of both parties come to New York City, they seem pretty happy to be here and are more than willing to take our money.
Well if you're willing to take our money, then show us the respect we deserve and earned and don't try to divide us from our fellow Americans.

Senator Cruz did not say New York City values. He did not talk about politicians. He said New York values. He attacked everyone in the State of New York.
He alienated a lot of people for no reason.
Just another Ted Zeppelin inadvertent error.
Trump is an elitist New Yorker who's past positions have been left of center. He's following in the style of the Roosevelts and the Rockefellers. If you're not in the Manhattan billionaire club he thinks you're a loser that needs his help through bigger and better government - run by himself.
Cruz owes the state of New York a huge apology. He is hurting the GOP brand. Well it’s pretty much worthless anyway, but still.
So will this make freepers pro Rudy now?
Ted was right on, and his line was calculated to make the Southerners supporting trump to pause.
Smart.
After applauding applauding Trumps prior point. That really did not look good.
Mrs Gasshog said last night that Rudi would come and demand the Cruz to apologize to NYorkers
The Cuomos are THE worst governors N.Y. EVER had !
Sign me an ex-pat New Yorker.
“Rudy Giuliani: Ted Cruzâs view of New Yorkâs âvaluesâ completely ignores cityâs strength”
Oh you retard...dont you know that Cruz was really talking about Cumo and the current mayor?
How the hell could you not understand that??? All of us true conservatives totally got the meaning right off the bat....after 6000 posts, and being brow-beaten into accepting the spin.
But you? you little homo mayor of that cesspit POS town, you just will never be smart enough to see how brilliant Cruz was by being vague, yet saying so much! Most real Americans hate you, NYC, and the whole pathetic state. Pish Posh!
Let me ask you a simple question.....are YOU proud of where you were born/now live, warts and all?
Complete nonsense.
"Forget it, they're rolling."
“And the more you keep talking about it, the more milage Cruz is getting out of it.”
Yeah because he is totally loving all of the positive coverage.
His representatives did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday. But Trump said in a recent interview that he had relatively few Republican options in an overwhelmingly blue state. "Everyone's Democratic," he told Fox News in an interview about his potential candidacy.
Makes Ted Cruz's "New York values" case for him, doesn't it?
Just as the UK kicked out Churchill after WW II.
You wake up, you ancient old fart.
I think NYers are getting a little bit defensive over this. I wonder if they still allow women to walk around topless in front of tourists and their children?
