New York Rep. Peter King had some sharp words for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Thursday, in the wake of the Texas senator's attempt to criticize Donald Trump.
Cruz, who had been playing nice with Trump for much of the campaign, recently attempted to disparage the real estate mogul by accusing him of possessing "New York values." The attack came after Trump raised questions over the Canadian-born Cruz's ability to serve as president.
Trump "may shift in his new rallies to playing 'New York New York,' because you know Donald comes from New York and he embodies New York values," Cruz said Tuesday on "The Howie Carr Show" on Boston-based WRKO.
King, a Republican, had a pointed response for Cruz.
"Memo to Ted Cruz: New York Values are the heroes of 9/11; the cops who fight terror; and the people you ask for campaign donations. Go back under a rock," King said in a statement to CNN Thursday.
Trump has also cited 9/11 as an example of why "New York values" are something to be proud of, rather than a turn-off for voters.
"New York is an amazing place with amazing people," Trump said on Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect." "We took a big hit with the World Trade Center -- worst thing ever, worst attack ever in the United States, worse than Pearl Harbor because they attacked civilians, they attacked people having breakfast and frankly if you would've been there and if you would've lived through that like I did with New York people -- the way they handled that attack was one of the most incredible things that anybody has ever seen."

RE: Why they would never elect Rep Mayors or anything like that (according to your thinking:-) now would they!
Only after the Dems have made a mess of things. And then they go on to vote in Pro-Abortion, Pro-Gay Marriage, Anti-gun ownership kind of Republicans [Such are Giuliani, Pataki and Bloomberg ( who flipped from Dem to Rep then to Independent ).
That’s NY Values right there. So, did Ted Cruz say anything inaccurate?
“let’s elect a real estate heir who had the way paved for him.”
So what you now, part of Occupy Wall St?
