Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz swooped into Manhattan Wednesday and promptly hit Mayor de Blasio below the belt when he said cops who turned their backs on him were speaking for all Americans.

"When heroes of NYPD stood up and turned their backs on Mayor de Blasio, they spoke not just for the men and women of New York, but for Americans all across this nation,” said Cruz at the GOP Party & Women's National Republican Club in Midtown.

Cruz’s remarks escalated comments he made earlier Wednesday, when he said on “CBS This Morning” the criticism of his call to monitor American Muslim neighborhoods in the wake of the Brussels terror attacks was just political.

De Blasio and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton were two of the most vocal critics, with Bratton saying it was so out of line it showed why he'd never win the White House race.

Why do I think Mr. Best Orator in the Whole Wild World” will not fare well in NYC...or NY for that matter.

Is Cruz enjoying NY values, or at least the donations?

They didn’t get the latest update from the Cruz campaign that he wants to “patrol and secure” Christian neighborhoods too. You know, we can’t be offending the Muslims.

Ted Cruz with his hooked nose and tiny pick like teeth looks a lot like Homer Simpson’s boss, Mr Burns at the Nuclear Plant. If you find a photo of Mr Burns, check out the similarity.

Hope he visited Goldman Sachs and thanked them for their support. :-(

Maybe someday he can run against Huma Weiner for mayor of NYC?
