Gov. Cuomo: Donald Trump ‘Resonated’ with 9/11 Retort to Cruz

SCARBOROUGH: “Governor, can you briefly talk about September 11th because when Donald — I found it very interesting on our set. We were surrounded yesterday by people who probably have never voted for a Republican in their lifetime and when we replayed an interview that he had with Mark Halperin, all the people around the set were agreeing with Donald Trump and going, yeah, yeah, because everybody remembers September 11th. They remember the New Yorkers that were running up those stairs when everybody was trying to get out. Those running to their deaths, the first responders, the cops, all the men and women that were putting their lives on the line. Talk about your memories of New York Values on  September 11th, 2001.”
CUOMO: “It's a very good point and I think Trump raising it was politically expedient possibly, but also resonated with people. You know, as Cruz is saying anti-New York and trying to bring up a negative stereotype that is offensive, 9/11 is the exact opposite. And, by the way, Joe, 9/11, is the symbol of this country’s better angels and the essence of what Americans feel. 9/11 was one of us is in need. It’s the State of New York. What do we do. The visceral reaction, the intuitive reaction of the people in the country was we have to go help because it’s We.' And there was no division, and there was no East Coast/West Coast. And you had people from all over the country coming to help on 9/11, not just New Yorkers, Joe. It was a nationalizing moment that we haven’t had in popular political history.” 
SCARBOROUGH: “No doubt.”
CUOMO: “Because we do believe we’re one nation. That's what 9/11 said.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Governor Andrew Cuomo, thanks so much for calling in. We appreciate it.”
