Everyone’s been demanding Ted Cruz apologize for his comments tying Trump to “New York Values.”
Well here it is:
Yeah.. that’s not quite what they expected.
CRUZ: "I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians."

Cruz "apologizes" to New Yorkers for their liberal leaders and policies and promises help on the way in 2016.

Cruz: I apologize to all pro-life and pro-marriage and pro-second amendment NYers who were told by Gov Cuomo they had no place in New York.

As a person who lives in New York but moved here from somewhere else, I really think that this is not the “gaffe” that the media is making it out to be. While the country absolutely stood with New York City on 9/11 and the rebuilding, that’s not what Cruz is referring to, and everyone knows it.AMP
There is a huge gulf between the values of the majority of New York City denizens and the rest of the country, and it’s all he’s doing is driving a wedge between the media and America while forcing the Donald to hug Hillary and other lefty New York lovers.AMP
