Michael Bloomberg tweets incredibly misleading video in response to debate shellacking
Business Insider ^ | 2/20/20 | Jake Lahut

After being pummeled by opponents in his 2020 debate debut, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg put his video team to work Thursday with a misleading mashup.

In a video tweeted from Bloomberg's account, a sequence where he asserts he's the only candidate on stage to ever start a business is followed by clips of each candidate in awkward silence.

Filling almost the entirety of the video, the silence makes it appear as though Bloomberg dumbfounded his opponents by touting his business record.

However, in the debate a back-and-fort between the candidates proceeded as normal after Bloomberg made his point. The tongue-tied shots of opponents in the clip tweeted from Bloomberg's account were looped together from disparate points throughout the evening.

He was only centrist if you compare him to today’s Dems. A decade ago when Obama started running for Pres, I told my son if JFK were alive today ‘with the same politics as he had back then’, he would be a Republican.

This is similar to what Trump did STOU with Pelosi.

“...individuals, need to be able to use critical thinking skills...”

The NEA has successfully bred that out of everyone who goes through the educational ‘system’ in the US.

The MSM has conducted, unopposed, a campaign of wholesale indoctrination against all Liberal opponents.

Now, the deck is stacked in Liberals’ favor.

We can thank Republicans for that. They were busy making deals and striving to get and keep their offices. It’s THEIR fault just as much.

He cut taxes, stared down the Soviets twice, and spoke out against segregation. They were certain he’d be a one-termer, because he was to the right of the Dems’ mainstream. Then he got shot and suddenly he’s a left-wing icon.

I knew instantly that it didn’t really happen that way, but it still made me laugh hard. A “Never-Trump” “RINO” is acting like a wrecking ball to the other DNC candidates. Maybe RINOs do have a useful purpose? Maybe we can convince Mitt to run for president on the other side next time around. The DNC sainted him for his impeachment vote.

In commercials, Mini-Mike claims he “Led NYC through 9-11”.

Interesting.
