No, it won’t happen: he is a bad man.

When he first ran for mayor, this guy Mark Green was the frontrunner. 9/11 happened, Guiliani endorsed Bloomberg and Mark Green released an ad that recounted an awful story about a woman employee of Bloomberg who became pregnant. According to the ad - and the story - Bloomberg said to the woman: KILL IT. People were repulsed by this ad and voided Green (who was no bargain himself). I always believed this story to be true. And one day I hope to be vindicated.

[edit]Harassment controversies

Bloomberg has previously been accused of sexually harassing women under his employment, which he has denied. In 1997, a former Bloomberg L.P. employee who became pregnant while employed filed a lawsuit accusing Bloomberg of saying “Kill it!” and “great, No. 16”, which may have been a reference to the number of pregnant women in the company.

In December 2008, Portfolio magazine published a story: “Mayor Bloomberg’s Delicate Condition”, which reported that in September 2007, the EEOC filed a class-action lawsuit against Bloomberg’s company on behalf of three women who worked on the business side, plus a group of women who worked at Bloomberg’s company between 2002 and the present. The article said the plaintiffs “now total 72, out of about 500 women who took maternity leave during that time, a high percentage, according to the agency”.
