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.
Trump will find any way to “disqualify” the illegals from coming back in .For example,many of them snuck in here because they had criminal records in their home country. A smart person would have figured this out immediately.
Trump might bring in the Democrat vote... isn’t that what the GOPe is always harping about? How they want people to ‘expand the tent’? Now that it’s happening in a real way they don’t like it.
Trump WILL bring in the Reagan Democrats... it’s a good thing...
The last thing we want is universal health care passed by a Republican Congress and signed by President Trump.
After all the TSA is working so well... molesting 10 year old girls getting on airplanes.
Obamacare will be repealed and replaced with something far better for ALL involved parties.
Trump still supports Universal Health Care.
Now imagine union bosses and democrats in charge of Universal Health Care.
I have no doubt that Donald Trump will happily repeal Obamacare and replace it with something that ensures that everyone has access to healthcare services without bankrupting the country or the healthcare industry. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over a decade. I know that Obamacare has been an economic disaster for hospitals and I know there’s a solution and I have a pretty good idea of what it is. Obamacare was a disaster. We can do much better and we don’t need to leave anyone out in the cold.
