“Just this once, Trump's right: New Yorkers value hard work, diversity, tolerance, resilience, and building better lives for our families," Hillary tweeted, throwing herself into a debate between Trump and Sen.

Hillary Clinton on Friday waded into the nasty feud between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz — and agreed with Trump.

“Just this once, Trump's right: New Yorkers value hard work, diversity, tolerance, resilience, and building better lives for our families. –H” the former secretary of state tweeted Friday.


The tweet was in reference to one of the more heated moments of Thursday night's GOP debate, in which Trump laced into Cruz for questioning the moral strength of New Yorkers. The Texas senator revived his dig at Trump's pedigree, accusing the Manhattan mogul of having "New York values" that prioritize "money and media" and are socially liberal on issues like same-sex marriage.

Trump responded by invoking 9/11, trying to shame his rival. "We rebuilt downtown Manhattan ... everybody in the world loved New York and loved New Yorkers," he said. "And I have to tell you, that was a very insulting statement Ted made."

Clinton has also invoked 9/11 on the debate stage, but with a different outcome. She caught heat for referencing 9/11 as part of the reason why she has received significant contributions from Wall Street.

Cruz's campaign immediately jumped on Clinton’s tweet in an attempt to tether the Democratic front-runner to Trump. “Hillary defends Trump,” Cruz’s rapid response director Brian Phillips tweeted including Clinton’s tweet.
