In what may come as a surprise to residents of Colorado Springs and Pueblo, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t think those cities have roads.
Bloomberg told Rolling Stone that he was “sorry” about the recalls of two state senators last year over the Democratic state legislature’s gun-control laws, but added that their districts were so “rural” that, “I don’t think there’s roads.”
“In Colorado, we got a law passed. The NRA went after two or three state senators in a part of Colorado where I don’t think there’s roads,” said Bloomberg in the interview published online Wednesday.
“It’s as far rural as you can get,” said Bloomberg. “And, yes, they lost recall elections.

“Michael Bloomberg is absolutely out of touch with the values of Pueblo,” said state Sen. George Rivera (R-Pueblo). “In Pueblo, we value our Second Amendment rights and we don’t appreciate East Coast elites stereotyping us as some area so remote that we don’t even have roads.”
Rivera was elected to the state Senate in the Sept. 10 recall election that resulted in the ouster of state Sen. Angela Giron (D-Pueblo).
“Pueblo is a proud city composed of proud people from all different walks of life, and, while it might be hard for a New York billionaire to comprehend, we do in fact have roads and running water,” said Rivera in a statement. “I promise the people of Pueblo I will never sit idly by as outsiders insult our outstanding community.”
Bloomberg-funded groups lobbied for the three Colorado gun-control bills, which were passed by the state legislature with no Republican votes and signed into law in March 2013 by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper.
State Sen. Bernie Herpin (R-Colorado Springs), who replaced Senate President John Morse in the recall, called Bloomberg’s remarks “shameful.”

Liberals have always regarded the majority of Americans as being ignorant bumpkins as Obama said...clinging to their guns and religion.
Those blue helmets will make great targets.
Absolutely. We’re just subhuman vermin who need enlightened, civilized people like Bloomturd to tell us what to think and how to live our lives. We should be thankful he’s shared his wisdom on this matter with the lowly likes of us.
That’s how they all think we should view them, anyway. And they wonder why flyover country absolutely despises them.
If there aren’t any roads, how are all those guns getting from there to New York?
AH yes cows! Cows mark their paths with cow patties, that’s helpful.
Wait till we get to share our “gun culture” with them.That will be a real enlightening moment.
By way of the ox-drawn covered wagons. Duh. Everybody knows that.
Pretty low-tech, but it does always seem to be the Amish that are involved.
I think I broke a rib laughing!
Indeed. You have to be careful of the Amish. They’re a devious bunch of troublemakers, you know.
Our poor starving dogs keep eating the trail markers.
I know what ya mean...... if it wasn’t for rabbit droppings my dogs would starve to death.......
Just ask Elizabeth Warren the west is chock full of wild Indians.
