Here’s the Interview Where Donald Trump Expresses His “New York Values”

Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz firmly asserted their standing atop the GOP race in Thursday night’s debate, overshadowing a crowded field of rivals still grappling for a way to…

Trump, who published a torrent of tweets criticizing Cruz Saturday morning, also knocked the senator for comments he made disparaging “New York values”.

Trump began the morning slamming Cruz in a series of tweets, taking a break to appear at a campaign event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, before resuming his tirade.

“If he had any class or possessed true presidential timber, Ted Cruz would offer New Yorkers a real apology instead of sarcasm – not because we need it, but to prove he’s not a hypocrite”, the pair wrote.

‘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’.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio have rallied around Trump’s defense of the city.

Ever since Ted Cruz told America what he believes are “New York Values”, many New Yorkers – and many Americans – have been thoroughly outraged. But one New Yorker, Wall Street hedge fund mogul Robert Mercer, contributed $11 million last April to a super political action committee that supports Cruz. Any time people walk into a voting booth and there’s a question mark they’ll go for some other alternative so I think Ted will have to deal with this and Donald will keep pushing this over the course of the campaign.

Rather than try to attach the old “flip-flopper” label that has plagued politicians from John Kerry to Mitt Romney, they’ve come up with a new catch phrase: “New York values”.

In an interview with ABC News, Smith said that Cruz’s comments saddened him.

“I would note that Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate”, Cruz said, gamely tackling questions he routinely swatted away for seven months.

DONALD Trump is always going on about his Scottish mother, but he seems to have forgotten all about her in the latest Republican TV debate. He said donors in NY should not give to Cruz. Hey, Cruz, you don’t like New York values?

Both men on Friday demanded Cruz apologize to the people of NY – with Cuomo accusing him of “demonizing” those he disagrees with and polarizing voters so as to “make it impossible to govern”.

Smith told ABC News that Cruz’s remarks saddened him.
