Geraldo, CNN’s Toobin Call Cruz’s ‘New York Values’ Attack an Anti-Semitic Smear (Mediaite)

Ted Cruz has made it clearover and over that his “New York values” criticism was aimed at the liberal policies governing the state, but pundits on two separate networks tonight said there was something anti-Semitic about it.

On CNN tonight, Jeffrey Toobin told Wolf Blitzer he thinks Cruz’s line will hurt him, calling it a clear “anti-Semitic trope” considering that Cruz specifically said New York is “focused around the money and the media.”

Blitzer pointed out Cruz’s argument about his meaning, but Toobin insisted, “Money and media is Jews. I mean, this is just an old-fashioned anti-Semitic stereotype, derogatory term, and everyone understands that.”
