As Mike Bloomberg celebrated his 48th birthday in 1990, a top aide at the company he founded presented him with a booklet of profane, sexist quotes she attributed to him.
A good salesperson is like a man who tries to pick up women at a bar by saying, “Do you want to f---? He gets turned down a lot — but he gets f----- a lot, too!” Bloomberg was quoted in the booklet as saying. Bloomberg also allegedly said that his company’s financial information computers “will do everything, including give you [oral sex]. I guess that puts a lot of you girls out of business.”
At the time, some Bloomberg staffers said, they laughed off the comments in the 32-page booklet, “The Wit and Wisdom of Michael Bloomberg,” as a macho side of one of the nerdiest men on Wall Street.
But others viewed them more darkly, seeing them as blunt examples of what they considered to be a hostile environment, artifacts of a workplace employees said was saturated with degrading comments.
Several lawsuits have been filed over the years alleging that women were discriminated against at Bloomberg’s business-information company, including a case brought by a federal agency and one filed by a former employee, who blamed Bloomberg for creating a culture of sexual harassment and degradation.
The most high-profile case was from a former saleswoman. She sued Bloomberg personally as well as his company, alleging workplace discrimination. She alleged Bloomberg told her to “kill it” when he learned she was pregnant. Bloomberg has denied her allegation under oath, and he reached a confidential settlement with the saleswoman.

Bring me another beer?
lol
The two comments are funny :) So I doubt he said them. Doesn’t seem like a guy with a sense of humor.
As for this...She alleged Bloomberg told her to “kill it” when he learned she was pregnant.
No one uses the words “kill it”
If he said anything, he would have said “have an abortion”.
OF COURSE still wrong but he swore under oath that he didn’t say it and I believe him.
I don’t like him, but I believe him
Make me a sammich.
Washington Post?
Does this mean the deep state is for Amy Klobuchar? Or that they’re trying to make bad news ‘old’ news by Super Tuesday?
We know this much - the WaPo is the mouthpiece for the democrat establishment.
I better not run then.
We may actually be witnessing a Civil War within the mass media outlets.
They have become infested with the Gay/Pedo Group, the Womyn Group, the Commie group, for sale to the highest bidder group, the corrupt insiders access and influence group, etc.
All these groups have their own favorite candidate.
Since they spent the last four years indulging their Trump Derangement Syndrome, the division was not obvious.
2020 is the year they rip off the mask and let their reptilian monster free!
What difference does it make? I know women who hate Trump for the simple trigger of “punching pu**y” and other things he said or alleged to have said. Any one opposing Trump gets the pu**y pass.
Do Bloomie or Lil’ Bow Pete have any history of STDs?
Except, another coworker confirmed that he/she too heard Bloomberg say the same thing “kill it”.
Here’s the quote from the article:
The Washington Post interviewed a former Bloomberg employee, David Zielenziger, who said he witnessed the conversation with the saleswoman. Zielenziger, who said he had not previously spoken publicly about the matter, said Bloomberg’s behavior toward the woman was “outrageous. I understood why she took offense.”
If he’s the nominee, this will all disappear.
Some harassers are more equal than others.
“The left is not made up of friends and allies. It’s made up of competing parasites.”
~Grover Norquist - CPAC 2012
(While I am generally not a Norquist fan, that nails it!)
You’re seeing this dynamic at work. The women are less parasitic than some of the other groups, but the general idea holds.
I don’t understand what Democrats think is wrong with any of this.
The “kill it” story surfaced in 2000-2001. It was alleged by Mark Green. I certainly believe he said it. I did then and I do now. I have no idea why you would write the words “no one uses the words ‘kill it.’”
‘I know women who hate Trump for the simple trigger of “punching pu**y” and other things he said or alleged to have said’
suburban women, comparing Trump to Bloomberg, see Trump as the leering, loutish high school kid who cops a feel from a girl and goes around bragging about it, and Bloomberg as a kid who does the same thing, but keeps his mouth shut...end result is the same, but perception is everything...
You need Opera browser to get to Washington Post and other liberal jackanapes. Opera has a free VPN option (bit hard to find) that I use but you must clear out cookies too to see free WaPo and NYT etc..
Thus I first tried to see this WaPo swill in my usual Chrome. Denied so I opened in Opera and Success!
These oh so PC media Reptilians will promote and vote Bloomie in a split second if he can beat Trump. They will shove all their trans and gay propaganda to the side in a millisecond. These petulant children, these numskulls will come home to Daddy, in this case Daddy Bloomie.
