Interview Highlights
– “There’s no reason any New Yorker should be helping him (Ted Cruz) with money so he can insult us…It’s disgusting for anyone to attack New York City for their own political gain.”
– “He (Ted Cruz) is very happy to come here and raise money. He’ll take New York’s money. He’ll take big loans from Goldman Sachs and then he turns around and attacks the people of New York.”
– “I don’t likely say I agree with Donald, but Donald Trump in this case, I thought he characterized it exactly right, that the same city that withstood the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and rebuilt and showed such strength and such grace, we deserve respect from somebody who says he wants to be president of the United States.”
– My “blood is boiling right now. We’re the biggest city in the country; we’re the greatest city in the country — for him to play to the — you know, his political base and play his political game against the values and interest of eight-and-a-half million Americans is absolutely disgusting.”
