Trump embodies "New York values"... (asked to explain)... "Listen, there are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of New York. But everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay-marriage, focus around money and the media."
That's what Cruz SAID... "wonderful, socially liberal, pro-abortion, pro-gay-marriage, money, media"... that's it... and the MSM has turned it into a brawl within the conservative circles like Freerepublic.
I think you may be confused. Both of the quotes you used were by Cruz.
“You know, I think most people know exactly what New York values are,” Cruz said.
“I am from New York. I don’t,” Bartiromo said.
So the GOP conservative explained: “Listen, there are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of New York. But everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay-marriage, focus around money and the media.”
Cruz was out of line to talk about NY values. A person has values, a family, a school, a church group, a group of people with a shared ideology. NYC is a vast conglomerate of divergent values from way left to far right, from socialist to libertarian. He was just trying to get the Evangelicals to like him by setting NY up to be his straw man and I have lost respect for him because of his selfserving willingness to trash NY.
