People like you, with your faux outrage at the perceived insult at NYC, know what Cruz was talking about: the liberal elitists and media from NYC who consider the rubes in fly-over country unworthy to breathe their hallowed air. No one, absolutely NO ONE is questioning the bravery of NYC firefighters or police and you know that. And firefighters from my hometown went to NYC to help, also. To use the deaths of these brave men as a campaign tool is outrageous. Remember when Bush used footage of 9/11 in a campaign ad? People like you went rabid. How dare he use NYC for his dirty political devices!!
Yes dear, I probably know NY history better than you. But here is a newsflash: American history does not stop at Manhattan’s borders. And it didn’t begin there, either. So stop having the vapors.
You appear to be the one having vapors. ;-)
