During a campaign event in Buffalo, New York, on Monday, Donald Trump referred to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack in New York City as “7-11.”

“I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-11, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down, and I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action,” he said.

Trump then referred to “New York values,” a phrase Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has used to accuse Trump of not being a true conservative.

“I saw the bravest people I’ve ever seen, including the construction workers, including every person down there,” Trump said. “That’s what New York values are about.”
