A List of Things Bloomberg Actually Said About Fat People, Rape, George W. Bush, and J.Lo

[liskddksil]

To call Michael Bloomberg’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination unorthodox would be an understatement. The former New York mayor is skipping the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina. He’s not accepting individual donations—instead spending $200 million of his own money in just the first two months of his campaign—and consequently he’s also skipping the debates, whose criteria for inclusion require a certain number of donors.

And then there’s the matter of his record. Over two decades in politics, Bloomberg, a self-described fiscal conservative and social liberal, has switched his party affiliation three times and defied the Democratic party’s base on key issues. His history of degrading comments about women, meanwhile, has dogged him throughout his political career.

As the mogul prepares to reissue his 1997 memoir, Bloomberg by Bloomberg, here’s the candidate in his own words:

2. Wow. I guess after "grab them by the *****" it won't hurt him with GOP voters.

But there's some pretty crazy stuff in there. Just a few.

If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s.

“What a bunch of misfits—a gay, an architect, that horsey faced lesbian, and a kid who gave up Koo Stark for some fat broad.”

“I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little.”

10. Goodness! "A child has an old bitch of a teacher (and there are many of them)"

"When you’re white, you don’t know what it’s like to be living in a ghetto. You don’t know what it’s like to be poor."

"A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused,"

"A woman enjoys intercourse with her man -- as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously."

"It means, very bluntly, that the manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things."

"If she is 16, 3 years beyond puberty and the time which nature set forth for child-bearing and spent a night out with her boyfriend, what is your reaction?... Are you concerned about her happiness or about your 'reputation' in the community."

3. OMG - a left wing mag trashes Bloomberg!

By the way ~ Bloomberg is spending millions of dollars and zillions of hours attacking Trump.
But left wing 'Mother Jones' is trying to stop Bloomberg?

Why? Shouldn't 'Mother Jones' be attacking Trump?
