Ted Cruz made some waves after talking about “New York values” at the GOP debate, and Donald Trump was immediately critical of Cruz’s comments.
Cruz later apologized. Well, sort of:
.@realDonaldTrump, @HillaryClinton, @NYGovCuomo, and @BilldeBlasio demanded an apology… #NewYorkValueshttps://t.co/yxcQeXiAIa

Cruz has also been defending himself from Trump’s criticism:
Even Donald Trump himself says #NewYorkValues are different from the values in Iowa and across the country: https://t.co/nieroSPHxg

Today, Trump really upped the ante on his criticism of Cruz’s “New York values” remark:
Is this the New York that Ted Cruz is talking about & demeaning? pic.twitter.com/rYGX9vazku

Wow.
Trump really heard about it:
I didn't like @tedcruz's "New York values" trope. But this vulgar exploitation of 9/11 by @realDonaldTrump is worse. https://t.co/TLYvEJQ0Qe

@realDonaldTrump No. He's talking about the crony-socialist policies of the city that are bankrupting Upstate. We don't have time for PC.
