NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Rep. Peter King is calling out presidential candidate Ted Cruz amid controversy over the senator's comments on "New York values."
On Saturday, King tweeted that Ted Cruz was lying when he said he supports New York's firefighters and police.
"Not true," the Republican said, adding that Cruz did not co-sponsor or vote in favor of the Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act. King went on to call Cruz "a fraud."
@tedcruz can't tell truth. Says he fights 4 cops & firefighters. Not true. Didn't cosponsor or vote 4 Zadroga 9/11 health bill. What a fraud

Peter King has a long history of supporting terrorism. I wonder If he had a hand in Trump’s attending the Gerry Adams fundraising dinner.
He is from New York!!!!
Now you’ve done it...invoked that nasty thing about constitutionality!!
Do voters want another, ‘better,’ Emperor or do they want a President? Trump and Cruz are running, de facto, for different job titles. History lauds ‘good Emperors’ but warns that if you go ‘Emperor’ you can stay ‘Emperor’ a long time, but there will be lots of lemons. We did pretty well with ‘President’ until progressives started to mess with the definition.
Yep, FR is morphing into DU fast.
This is sort of a freebie for King because it really doesn’t matter. NY is a liberal state. Neither Trump nor Cruz, nor any Republican, will win it in the general election, and it doesn’t have much weight in the nomination process, either.
Cruz personally flew the planes into WTC. /s
For crying out loud!
You mean no one on the Cruz side even thought that THIS stuff wasn’t going to come up in a general election?????
This is the first I’ve seen of this, and I’m dumbstruck that anyone would have thought that the Dems dont have all of this on file and ready to go.
This is getting REALLY boring.
I would not have either, Mr. king..
Rep Peter King The Die Hard Conservative???
Do you have a link for that?
I think he was being sarcastic....I hope!!!
I would not have either. This is not a federal govt issue. It’s a State of NY issue or a NCY issue.
I am sick and tired of NYC with it’s paupers hand out all of the fragging time. They keep coming back to the feeding trough, time after time after time.
Only one of them is an ‘anointed King’. /s
A poll in Oct. 2015, showed Registered Republican voters wanted an outsider 77 to 22.
A businessman, 76 to 23.
Exactly.
