Bloomberg is counting on Super Tuesday to give him standing in the Democrat Primary as he has not been on the ballot yet. It is not known how well Bloomberg will do and if his money has actually been enough to bring the voters in. But the former Republican Mayor has picked up a few tricks from the Dems as he was caught in a lie during an interview with CBS’s Scott Pelley. Bloomberg slandered Trump claiming he called the Corona Virus a hoax. But to Bloomberg’s surprise, Pelley did not allow his lie to stand.
“How do you view this emergency?” Pelley asked Bloomberg.
“I find it incomprehensible that the president would do something as inane as calling it a hoax, which he did last night in South Carolina-” Bloomberg replied before being corrected by Pelley.
“He said the Democrats making so much of it is a Democratic hoax, not that the virus was a hoax,” the reporter pointed out.
“Uhhh, This is up to scientists and the doctors as to whether there is a problem,” Bloomberg continued unfazed. “They all around the world say that it is in some places and has enormous potential to become one elsewheres. And it’s just ignorant and irresponsible to not stand up and be the leader, and say, ‘We don’t know. But we have to prepare for the fact that if it is, we have the medicines and the structure and knowledge to deal with it.’ ”

“This is not the first time that the billionaire businessman has made a false claim regarding the Trump administration’s management of the coronavirus.
…The Associated Press analyzed statements that Bloomberg and former Vice President Joe Biden made during Tuesday’s Democratic debate in South Carolina, where the two claimed that Trump had carried out funding cuts for federal health agencies.
“There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing,” Bloomberg said at the time.
However, the AP looked into the charges and found that no such budget cuts ever took place. In fact, funding to fight the spread of the virus came from a congressional fund dedicated to health emergencies.”
He didn’t even have the decency to apologize for his blatant lie. I hope Super Tuesday leaves Bloomberg in the dust showing him that you can’t buy an election.
Stupid libtards always get caught lying. The sad part is that their brainless followers take lies as being fact even after it’s been proven otherwise.
