Opening her 12 p.m. ET hour MSNBC show on Friday, host Andrea Mitchell triumphantly proclaimed: “Tough crowd. It's crickets for Ted Cruz in Manhattan but Donald Trump is speaking their language at the big party dinner.” In a report minutes later, she gloated: “Cruz had a terrible night at the Republican black-tie gala here for the state party...”

Turning to correspondent Hallie Jackson, Mitchell quipped: “But what happened when Ted Cruz tried to speak to his own – well, his own Republicans, but they're not really his, they're New York State Republicans and I guess they have New York values?”
