First, it was the “Lyin’ Ted” moniker. Now, it’s Senator Ted Cruz’s “New York values” comments. As the campaign of Gov. John Kasich of Ohio takes its turn aiming negative advertising at Mr. Cruz, it parrots attacks made by Donald J. Trump. The latest is an ad from the Kasich campaign titled “Values.”

On Screen

A narrator reminds the viewer that “In Iowa, Ted Cruz sneered at our New York values,” a reference to Mr. Cruz’s attempt before the Iowa caucuses to paint Mr. Trump as a liberal. Sweeping vistas of New York City fill the screen: a No. 7 train in glistening sunlight rolling toward the skyscrapers of Manhattan, swooping shots of the Statue of Liberty, crowded sidewalks and Times Square traffic.

The camera comes to a halt on the “Tribute in Light,” the annual memorial to the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, as Mr. Cruz’s voice can be heard saying, “Everyone knows what New York values are.”

A gesticulating Mr. Cruz is shown as the narrator says “Ted Cruz divides to get a vote, John Kasich unites to get things done.” Scenes of Mr. Kasich on the trail quickly trickle by, as big white text letters proclaim “400,000 jobs” under his watch in Ohio.
