The New York Daily News was blasted online for a cover set to hit newsstands Friday targeting Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz.
"DROP DEAD, TED," read bold letters on the front page of the liberal newspaper - directly next to an image of the Statue of Liberty giving the senator the middle finger.
Stop the presses! A new Page 1... DROP DEAD, TED: https://t.co/68hKgqmjBx pic.twitter.com/veDsxLYDTN - New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) January 15, 2016 |
The cover was a response to comments the Texas senator made about "New York values." Earlier this week, Cruz went after 2016 rival Donald Trump by arguing that the businessman had "New York values" and, thus, wasn't aligned with Iowa voters.
During Thursday night's debate, the senator stood by his remarks and argued "not many conservatives come out of Manhattan." In a poignant moment, Trump offered a powerful rebuttal invoking 9/11 that earned him much praise.
Readers of the Daily News, however, seemed to care less about the comments Cruz had made and more about the over-the-top statement the paper had printed on its cover. Some even contended the Daily News was proving Cruz's point.
@NYDailyNews I am NOT a supporter of Cruz, however this picture is disgusting, even for N.Y, media. - Steven Nelson (@sn64867) January 15, 2016 |
@NYDailyNews Way to perfectly illustrate Cruz's point. This is embarrassing. - John Iaquinta (@JohnnyMets213) January 15, 2016 |
@NYDailyNews Oh yeah, that'll teach 'em some values! How the hell are you hacks still selling papers? - Nancy (@EnPointe2) January 15, 2016 |

@NYDailyNews Cover proves @Tedcruz #NYValues right. Majority of #USA rejects this low brow behavior. It's Immature and Ignorant. #tcot #gop - American Fact (@AmericanFact) January 15, 2016 |
A spokesperson for Cruz's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheBlaze.
To bad, stick a fork him he is done.
I was done with them years ago when they called Cuban-born Americans.com “stupid” for criticizing Billy Bob for kidnapping Elian and sending him back to Cuba.
Now this? Stay classy, NY Daily Dirt.
No problem with that. We have close to 11 months before the November election.
No dot com on that,lol!
bfl
I just dropped in to see how long it took for a Cruz thread to mention Trump.
Only SIX posts! You’re like the MSM - addicted.
sing along......
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough
You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to Trump!
Noooo...
Too funny.
Trump wanted New York values? Now he can wear it. In Iowa. They'll love it.
Lib NY paper giving him the middle finger? I’m sure this is will hurt Cruz among conservative Iowa primary voters. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Couldn’t have worked out better if he planned it.
AG works, too. BUT you have to remember, most of the attorneys at DOJ are
civil service employees, so not so easy to fire as if they were in a private enterprise.
It’s not just DOJ. Every department and agency and commission has embeds from the left, who live their entire lives doing what they can to assure a leftward tilt to each and every rule and regulation. Then, when a leftist Administration comes to town and appoints its people to the top “plum” positions, those lifers are in position to advance the agenda.
No they are not civil service employees. Clintoon fired 93.
Below is a Rush link, and he says that a new president can fire any AG attorneys they want to fire.
So Trump can fire all of them and let the left wing mediots cry and wail.
Drop dead Ted.
Clinton fired all the U.S. Attorneys, not all the attorneys working for the DOJ. U.S. Attorneys are attorneys working for the DOJ. There are 93 U.S. Attorneys, and approximately 10,000 attorneys working for the DOJ.
Thanks.
A good start.
OH, whatever R wins, Trump/Cruz/Rubio/Kasich (j/k), would quickly fire the current, Obama-appointed U.S. Attorneys. The other 9,907 or so is another story. But, as you say, a good start.
The 9,907 includes a large % who go to DOJ simply to gain experience and expertise in a given area of the law. They then move to the private sector and make money. So the turnover is fairly decent. That would allow the R-appointed U.S. Attorneys, and top people at DOJ under a new AG to hire a different sort of attorneys.
