Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is slamming Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz for attacking “New York values" and praising GOP rival Donald Trump for defending his home state.
"I'm a Democrat, but Donald Trump did a very good job defending New York," Schumer told host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on New York's AM-970 on Sunday.
"I'd like Ted Cruz to go talk about New York values to the firefighters who rushed to the towers on 9/11, and the police and EMTs, to the brave New York police officers who keep our streets safe," he added.
Schumer also noted that Cruz's wife worked for Goldman Sachs.
"Maybe he wants to go to Wall Street and talk about New York values, you know, where his wife worked," Schumer said.
After Cruz attacked Trump this week for representing "New York values," Trump defended himself at Thursday's GOP presidential debate by invoking the city's response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"I think [Cruz] hurt himself and he deserved to, and Trump, gotta give him credit, was right on the money in his response," Schumer said.
Schumer also referred to a New York Daily News front page showing the Statue of Liberty giving Cruz the middle finger.
"He will be now forever on the front page of the Daily News memorialized, because they had the Statue of Liberty, and she made a gesture in Cruz's direction," Schumer said.
As for the Senate, Schumer touted the body's bipartisan work in December, including passage of a transportation bill. Schumer said the work would be a sign of a productive year ahead.
"I think things are going to be a little better in the next 12 months," he said.
Which ones? There is a smorgasbord of Trump policy statements.
And you still didn’t post the URL.
Of course not. Because we know there isn’t one ;-)
Honestly,he had me with his second amendment policy statement. His tax policy though is very interesting also and, of course, we know how he feels about the border. I also like his trade policy-free trade but fair trade.
It’s interesting that when liberals take up the “New York values” shibboleth, they seem to forget the armies of homeless defecating in the street, thanks to deblasio’s change in the law, the crime spike following the law eliminating stop ‘n frisk, Bob Durst, deblasio partying in Gracie as the homeless die, gun laws outlawing more than 7 rounds followed by changing that law so cops can carry their guns, cops being slaughtered while deblasio cheers, mayor’s kids attending premium schools while charter schools eliminated, Charles Barron; geez, where to stop?
Evidently to some people Baptism means soaking in mud.
Careful what you ask for.
Anyone can Google Dana Bash 7/29/15 Trump interview.
Then weep as you hear the great man say we are going to deport the illegals and then let them all back in and make them legal.
Boom, Trump supports amnesty!!
But to the zombies, facts don’t matter, right sparky??
Post the link then. You made the claim, back it up.
Haha, Google it and the you tube interview comes up. But I warn you, have tissues ready as you hear the Donald explain his amnesty plan.
Also, the dreamers can stay.
Dana Bash CNN 7/29/15 interview Trump.
Do facts matter? For conservatives, they used to. never did for leftists
YOU post the link, you lazy ass.
Don’t know how, or believe me I would.
I love when the Trump zombies have facts shoved down their throat.
Something tells me though you googled it and heard the Donald say that all the deported illegals will be let back in on an expedited basis and made legal. And you know what???
FACTS don’t matter to the zombies, do they?
If I am right and he said it, would it matter to you??
Noooooooo!!!!!!
I guess Chuckie “Putzhead” Schumer doesn’t realize he is the precise embodiment of those “NY values” Ted was talking about and the entire rest of the country (except a few like-minded Liberal infested cities) detests.
I consider myself a Christian, so what motive do I have to trash Christians?
What bothers me is when folks go out of their way to claim Christianity, then lie at length, or do other things totally non-Christian.
I do explain my thoughts on Christianity on my home page here, but you won’t see me hawking it on my every post.
I don’t consider myself a great example of the Christian ethic, even if I do understand the Christian ethic and respect it a great deal.
How someone can post at length their beliefs, and then betray them in the same post is beyond me.
You don’t know how to post a link?!?!
Why didn’t you say so? You know so much about why you hate Trump, but you can’t figure out how to copy and paste? You obviously know how to do that, you’ve been posting the same questions to different FReepers throughout this thread!
Let me assist you:
You highlight that little thing called a ‘URL’ in the address bar, ‘copy’ and then inside this itty bitty box, ‘paste’ it.
It ain’t rocket science pal.
HOWEVER, I viewed that interview and you must have been smoking some holy hashish or something because what Trump said was that ILLEGALS have got to LEAVE and that ANY that are allowed back in must be LEGAL, and that means proper screening, vetting, background checks based on their prior history and behavior. As for the so-called ‘Dreamers’, Trump did not at all just write a blank check about them, he emphasized that it was a ‘tough’ situation, but he emphasized that we need our laws enforced and that we need a system that WORKS to keep out illegals.
He also strongly stated that he wanted ALL illegals who had committed criminal acts DEPORTED and never allowed to return, EVER.
Now read this really careful, what Trump described in that interview is NOT AMNESTY. An amnesty would overlook and ignore any and all criminal acts, it would not force deportation or screening and criminal background checks, it would be nothing more than saying “ok, you’re legal” and ANYONE who watches that interview who a.) has a room temperature IQ and b.) doesn’t hate Trump, should be able to comprehend that.
You got yourself a world class nothing-sandwich.
a love of a city that stands for everything wrong with the country is simply not acceptable among adults.
dude, you can call out Raleigh for the liberal yankees moving in and ruining it all you want....I’m secure enough NOT to get hurt by it nor take it personally.
Ha, you obviously are a computer expert. If you are right, why not post the link yourself? Let the FR community hear the great one say they must leave, but then they can come right back and be made legal.
On an expedited basis mind you. For the Trump zombies, expedited means on a priority basis.
You are correct criminals would not be let back in, everyone else ( over 10m or so ) it’s come on in and drive down wages for Americans.
Post the link, I dare you.
Watch the Trump fantasy evaporate before your eyes.
Spoiler alert, he also lets the “dreamers” stay, because he has a big heart!
So you want me to do your work for you?
Go screw yourself.
Your interpretation of that interview could not possibly be more distorted. Trump is not at all calling for amnesty, and you OBVIOUSLY have your Trump-hating blinders on so tight that you can’t comprehend that.
Pray for improved vision. You need it.
