I assumed Cruz was referring to this when he commented on New York values.
Cuomo and other ultra liberals named anti-abortion as one of the reasons IIRC,
Cruz was referring to Trump’s own words when Trump said he was from NY and his values are different from those in Iowa. He was obviously talking about what we understand as liberal views which dominate NYC. If he had said “San Francisco values” everyone would understand he wasn’t talking about the values found on Camp Pendleton, but the Trump team and followers are so fundamentally dishonest that they won’t admit it.
