The New York Daily News took shots at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his knocks against “New York values” on Friday’s cover.
The cover reads: “DROP DEAD, TED.”
It goes on to say, “Hey, Cruz: You don’t like N.Y. values? Go back to Canada!”
Here’s the cover:

Cruz said earlier this week that Republican frontrunner Donald Trump embodies “New York values,” trying to make it into a slur on East Coast liberalism. Trump has since turned the shot back on Cruz, saying New York values are the “energy” that got the city through 9/11.
This cover aligns the tabloid with Trump, which is an odd pairing after their December cover depicting Trump as beheading the State of Liberty.
Cruz is the most disliked senator in the US Senate by his peers- he is hated even by Republicans. He comes into the US from Canada and tells us all how bad America is…go back to Canada.
If Cruz was born to his mother and father in IRAN, no one would allow him to run for President…Canada is NOT a US state or a US territory.
Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born US Citizen…he is a natural born Canadian!
Cruz to NY: Drop dead.
It’s unfortunate Conservatives feel they have to slur Americans who live in major US cities. As if somehow you have to live on a farm in rural Iowa to be a true American patriot. Just another example of their divide and conquer mentality.
And, of course, Cruz was educated on the outskirts of NYC and Philadelphia and lives in Houston, a pretty progressive city for Texas.
I thought only Austin was “progressive” in TX? Maybe they do have that one other city to achieve that rank. You’d have to convince me. I’ll avoid TX like the plague, for the rest of my life.
No, it just aligns them with everyone else in the country who hates Cruz. Considering their cover from a couple of weeks ago showing Trump with his hand raised in what looked like a “Sieg Heil” salute, over the caption “The New Furor” (pun obviously intended), I’d say they hate Trump just as much.
