Bloomberg made waves when he decided to join the 2020 presidential race. Many Dems were relieved they would have an alternative to Biden and his off-color remarks. But as a recent clip shows it looks like Bloomberg is no better in fact, he is probably worse if you are a minority. A clip was released showing just exactly how Bloomberg feels about minorities and this is definitely going to cost him.
“A newly surfaced recording from a 2015 speech by Michael Bloomberg, in which the former three-term mayor of New York City gives a full-throated defense of the controversial policing procedure known as “stop and frisk,” is threatening to undermine the 2020 presidential candidate’s subsequent apologies for backing the policy and hurt his status with minority voters.
President Trump blasted his fellow New Yorker as the audio emerged, saying in a Tuesday morning tweet as the New Hampshire primary was getting underway: ‘”WOW, BLOOMBERG IS A TOTAL RACIST!” The tweet was later taken down, without explanation — but his campaign manager Brad Parscale soon afterward tweeted “#BloombergIsARacist,” next to a separate clip of Bloomberg complaining in a radio interview that police stop white people “too much” and minorities “too little.”
The First clip shows Bloomberg claiming that “Whites” are pulled over too often and minorities are not being pulled over enough.

The second clip shows Bloomberg was purposefully targeting minorities.
“So one of the unintended consequences is people say, ‘Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.’ Yes, that’s true. Why? Because we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods,” Bloomberg claims. “Yes, that’s true. Why do we do it? Because that’s where all the crime is. And the way you get the guns out of the kids’ hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them… And then they start… ‘Oh I don’t want to get caught.’ So they don’t bring the gun. They still have a gun, but they leave it at home.”
All the money in the world can’t undo this

Bloomberg apologized for his “stop and frisk” policy this past November.
“Bloomberg defended his intentions, which were to reduce gun violence, but admitted that he made an error in how he went about it, even noting that when he put in safeguards to reduce police stops, crime did not go up.
“Today, I want you to know that I realize that back then I was wrong,” he said. “And I’m sorry.”
It looks like Bloomberg was terrorizing minorities with this stop and frisk policy. An apology is not cover the fear that he imposed on minorities for years. And Libs call Trump racist…
What is good for the goose is now good for the gander! If you can’t stand the heat get your ass out of the kitchen! I don’t think those idiot Democrats read the part where what is put on the internet stays on the internet for ever! How stupid of these people! Bloomberg like Biden just couldn’t keep their mouth shut. I guess that’s another trait of the Democrats! The first trait is to first go out and get a lobotomy!
Bloomberg is an out of touch Billionaire who thinks that his wealth gives him the right to dictate to people like myself how we should live He just needs to keep enjoying his Billionaire life and crawl off into a hole somewhere
His worst enemy is his own big mouth.
His own big mouth is his worst enemy.
Bloomberg’s basic problem is that he is an ignorant jerk. Everything else stems from that.
