Michael Bloomberg Gets First Endorsement From Member of Congress
Wall Street Journal ^ | Monday, January 13, 2020 | Jimmy Vielkind

Posted on 01/13/2020 11:24:23 AM PST by SunkenCiv

U.S. Rep. Max Rose of Staten Island announced his endorsement of Michael Bloomberg’s presidential bid, making Mr. Rose the first member of Congress to back the former New York City mayor’s campaign.

Mr. Rose, a Democrat, specifically cited Mr. Bloomberg’s management of the city in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Mr. Bloomberg was elected to the first of his three terms as mayor that year.

“Mayor Bloomberg’s even-keeled and visionary leadership is what we need to reduce the chaos, partisanship and hyper-vitriol that has overtaken Washington,” Mr. Rose said. “Rather than submit to another stage of politics as usual, we must be bold and unifying in taking on the huge challenges we face as a nation.”

Mr. Rose was elected in 2018. Voters in his district, which includes the borough of Staten Island as well as parts of southern Brooklyn, voted for President Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Name change: I think it’s gonna be “Max Goes” the next election. Only a paid-off moron would pull the lever for this little megalomaniac.

A male Mary Poppins, who wants to be "America's Nanny." An interesting phenomenon!

He missed his chance to announce his candidacy, while floating over Central Park with an unfurled umbrella.

Now if he could just convince Michelle to lead the new department of Scowling and Badgering...

No big drinks for you, no seconds on hamburgers this month, closing down Outback for their Blooming Onion.

What a swell half century it would feel like.

But but but, he lowered the cancer rate, lowered crime, gave more people insurance, iradicated infant mortality, passed major anti-gun legislation and can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Don’t forget he outlawed the “Big Gulp”

I wish I had thought of Mini Me Mike first. I went for this French fellow instead. Apparently the President has someone reading this site.
