During last night's Republican Presidential Debate, slowly melting stick of expired butter and presidential candidate Ted Cruz took the opportunity to criticize Donald Trump for his so-called "New York Values." When asked to clarify, he defined said values as "socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay marriage, focus around money and the media." Good to know!
It's safe to say that New York did not take lightly to being criticized, especially by a dude who's more than happy to take New Yorker's money. (And get a secret loan from Goldman Sachs.) Check out some of the best social media reactions below.

Just this once, Trump's right: New Yorkers value hard work, diversity, tolerance, resilience, and building better lives for our families. -H

Do undisclosed loans from Goldman Sachs count as "New York Values"?

Uhhh. If New York values include tolerance, inclusion, and bodily autonomy for women, sure. Okay.

Cruz says Trump "embodies New York values." How long before Trump says that Cruz embodies Alberta values?

If "New York values" means loathing everything Ted Cruz stands for, I'll take his words as a high compliment.

Ted Cruz is right, New York values are awful. He's referring to "constantly wondering if you should move to L.A.," right?
