New York Republicans ignore Cruz as he speaks

“New York values” means not taking crap from people who diss them.

In video uploaded to Twitter, Cruz can be seen speaking to the crowd in Manhattan’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, but can barely be heard over the buzz of conversations and clinking of dinnerware as people get up and walk around while ignoring the candidate…
Those who forgot that Cruz had attacked their city were reminded by Trump, who was the first candidate to address the crowd.
“In our darkest moments as a city, we showed the world the very, very best in terms of bravery, heart and soul of America,” Trump said as he recalled the 9/11 attacks. “These are the values we need to make America great again … to bring America together again… to heal America’s wounds.”
Cruz’s attempt at an applause line, saying “I have not built any buildings in New York City” but has spent his life “defending the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,” fell flat on the crowd, resulting in tepid applause.
