Lawsuit filed over whether Ted Cruz is a ‘natural born citizen’
The Cruz campaign declined to comment on the suit, but said Cruz has no connection Schwartz.
Trump and Cruz got into a lengthy back and forth on the eligibility issue at Thursday’s presidential debate in SC.
Trump touched on 9/11 and the city’s resilience: “We rebuilt downtown Manhattan and everybody in the world watched and everybody in the world loved NY and loved New Yorkers”.
One notable stumble for Cruz was when he criticized Trump’s so-called “New York values”.
De Blasio was quick to say amen: “I agree with Gov. Cuomo’s remarks”, he said, adding that anyone who is pro-life “does not represent the views of the people of NY”.
“When the World Trade Centre came down, I saw something that no place on Earth could have handled more beautifully, more humanely than NY”, he told the debate’s audience.
Trump said Cruz “lied” during the debate about his standing in the polls.
“I guess the bromance is over”, Trump told reporters Thursday in North Charleston, S.C., where the two had just clashed in the debate.
A staunch defender of Wall Street, Giuliani accused the Texan of being a hypocrite for taking donations from New Yorkers and then ripping the city.
“Cruz acquitted himself well, cementing his status as the front-runner’s chief opponent”, writes Howard Kurtz for Fox News. And having come from the Midwest myself, I can vouch for the idea that conservative Midwesterners probably think “New York values” are indeed quite different from their own.
“If he had any class, he would apologize to the people of New York”, Cuomo said in a phone interview with NY1 Friday.
“I imagine it pulled him out of bed this morning and sent him tweeting and tweeting and tweeting”, he said. Last month’s faceoff, aired on CNN, was seen by 18.2 million. How much do you think these latest comments have hurt Cruz?
Jezebel writer Joanna Rothkopf slammed Cruz’s rhetoric as anti-Semitic on Friday, comparing him to an “in-house comic at Fuhrer headquarters”.
When asked if he should cut Cruz any slack for looking for something to gain traction with Republican voters in Iowa, Cuomo had a strong response. “And if he had any class, he would apologize to the people of NY”. A Reuters poll recently showed that a quarter of Republicans believe that Cruz should be disqualified from the 2016 race since he was born in Canada.
