9/11 widower invites Cruz to Ground Zero
The Hill ^

Posted on 01/15/2016 12:55:59 PM PST by springwater13

A widower of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is inviting Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to Ground Zero in order to show him what "New York values" look like.

NYPD officer Jim Smith, husband of fallen police officer Moira Smith, sent the invitation in a Facebook post on Thursday after Cruz attacked Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump for embodying "New York values."

"I invite you to come to the National 9-11 Memorial and Museum and see for yourself, and perhaps learn something about, the values of New Yorkers and the Heroes who defended American values on September 11th, 2001," Smith said in the post, as first reported by the Daily Beast.

Trump responded in a similar fashion at Thursday night’s Republican primary debate, invoking the 9/11 attacks and calling the statement "very insulting" to New Yorkers.

Cruz is going to regret the New York values remark. The entire media is based out of NYC including Fox News which shredded him last night. This will not be a one day story. You'll see more of this....widowers, children of firefighters, first responders.

It's going to get ugly for him.

He’ll go and he’ll hit that out of the park. And then that opportunist Trump will attack him for it.

This is BS, that is not what Cruz meant by his remark.

This crap is so petty.

Cruz really stepped on his tie on that one.

Maybe she can invite the mayor who placed mosques off limits to cops too. Because those are what TODAY’s NY values look like. NYC pissed all over the memory of 3000 people electing an open muslim sympathiser in NYV and to the presidency.

Did she vote for him I wonder?

I’ve been trying to tell them.

But they just bark that “real conservatives” knew what he meant, as if THAT was the issue, failing to see the wider fallout like this story illustrates is happening.

If they do they are liberal NY’ers and not conservative. Probably Christie backers. Anyone with a brain new he was not talking about 9/11 he was talking about NYC’s liberal policies and culture.

You write that like Cruz isn't an opportunist too....it's called politics.

Be afraid, very afraid....you obviously have no confidence in your own candidate.

This ‘widow’ interpreting Cruz’ remark as some kind of disparaging remark on 9/11 heroes is about idiotic as the bunch of Black Lives Matter ninnies protesting the ‘hatred and racism’ represented by Confederate battle flag.

To hell with her.

Why is it that the ass-bites blasting Cruz for his New York Values comment only drag out the 9/11 response as evidence Cruz was “wrong”?

Is that all they got? One instance?

BTW...

IBTZ.

How many retired New Yorkers live in Florida? Florida is an important state in election.

This "New York values" door swings both ways. Any state would have responded to a 9/11 event like NYC did. No special kudos given on this account.

However, there are many fewer states that would elect socialists, communists, carpetbaggers, and criminals (in the state legislature), while being wholly antagonistic to the second amendment.

Cruz was right.

You’re everywhere attacking Trump.

But, but, he believes his candidate is so much better....zealots on either side leave a bad taste, they forget who the enemy really is.
