TAKE THE F U TRAIN, TED! Cruz jeered in bungled Bronx tour: /oq9gVz6gNCĮven better, Cruz is now trying to qualify his remarks, by saying he didn't mean all New Yorkers, just, you know, those New Yorkers. “The people of New York know exactly what those values are,” he said during a meet-and-greet in the Bronx where journalists reportedly outnumbered residents who could be bothered to come. ![]() The New York Daily News took the lead in offering one of those covers that makes one love living here, even when it's trash day in the middle of August. The result has been a delicious slice of schadenfreude for those of us who were told that New York City (and perhaps the state at large?) is somehow un-American because people are accepting of their neighbors and know how to mind their own business. Turns out it might not have been the greatest idea to reinforce his opponent's already substantial home team advantage by insinuating that the state, one of the most populous in the country, and the city, which is the biggest in the country, shouldn't count as real America.īut Cruz, continuing to labor under the belief that he's some kind of religious messiah, has decided to go ahead and make a play for New York anyway, even though even touching the foul soil of the modern day Gomorrah surely contaminates a soul as pure and righteous as his. He and his staff have learned in recent months that New York isn't just a city, but a large state with a Republican primary of its very own. The universe clearly loves New York, because Cruz's weak little jab just keeps coming back to haunt him. ![]() His immense self-satisfaction over what he clearly thought was a killer insult was immediately, in the great comic tradition, undermined when Trump pulled out the 9/11 retort any idiot could see was coming. It was an attack he'd been trying out on the trail for awhile, complete with the nudge-wink language to make the audience think they're sharing a private joke about all those perverts with the fancy clothes in that pervert city. ![]() It was during a CNN debate, and with a satisfied smirk that suggested he had just consumed a live kitten, he rolled out this attack about Trump having "New York values," full with the you-know-what-I-mean eyebrow action going on.īut just in case we didn't get his point, he did say that New York values "are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro–gay marriage" and they "focus around money and the media." And so it is with Ted Cruz and his swipe about "New York values" from all the way back in January, which was roughly 6.85 years ago in primary season time. Few things are more satisfying in the world of politics than watching chickens come home to roost.
