After a campaign ad touted the ex-NYC mayor as “incredibly sensitive” to the LGBTQ community, a video resurfaced of Bloomberg referring to transgender people as “he, she or it” and “some guy in a dress” — the second time he’s been caught making such comments.
Bloomberg used the language to warn 2020 Democratic hopefuls against stressing transgender issues, arguing that they wouldn’t play well in middle America.
“If your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that’s not a winning formula for most people,” he said at a Manhattan forum hosted by the Bermuda Development Agency. He delivered a similar remark about a “man wearing a dress” while making the same point at Oxford in 2016.
Despite the flippant language, his spokesperson said the candidate stands behind transgender rights and “understands the transgender community has been under attack for decades and the advance of rights has not been equal."
In April 2002, during his first year as mayor, Mike signed a sweeping transgender civil rights bill into law,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “His company provides comprehensive health care coverage for his transgender employees......adding, “as president, he has a comprehensive plan to secure rights for transgender Americans, including the Equality Act, ensuring transgender people have access to affirming health care, and working to end the crisis of violence against transgender women.”

Good for him!!!! Truth hurts there, don’t it??
Why the good people of the USA decided mentally ill people should be indulged, I will never know.
Not in the Dem primary.
The Democrats are the real transphobes!
There’s a book that circulates of Bloomberg’s 1900 quotes.

Here are a f ew:
If Jesus was a Jew, why does he have a Puerto Rican first name.
The three biggest lies are: The check’s in the mail, I’ll respect you in the morning, and I’m glad that I’m Jewish.
If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s.
Bloomberg is buying the nomination (if the fix is not in already).
The primaries are irrelevant.
(HAT TIP BEN SHAPIRO) .....the problem for Democrats isn’t Bloomberg’s spending. The problem is that the Democratic Party now treats wealth itself as an indicator of immorality.
This week, Sanders tweeted, “Together, we are going to end the greed of the billionaire class.” Never mind that creating tens of billions of dollars in value via voluntary exchange, employing tens of thousands of people, and providing goods and services to millions is far less indicative of greed than living as a taxpayer-funded, parasitical, self-styled revolutionary for six decades. The size of Bloomberg’s bank account makes him morally suspect in the world of the modern Democratic Party.
There’s a reason former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg keeps telling debate crowds that he’s the poorest candidate running, as though lack of financial success is a tremendous indicator of governing ability. As Trevor Noah recently joked, being called a wealthy person is, for “progressive white people ... like being called the N-word.”
This represents the reversal of the American dream: We should all aspire to government dependency, patting our own backs for our altruism while drawing on the public dime. After all, if wealth is sin, then chiding the wealthy while living off of them is sainthood. That’s the Democratic line going into 2020. We’ll see soon enough whether Americans are willing to give up the true American dream in favor of yelling at billionaires.
“...including the Equality Act, ensuring transgender people have access to affirming health care, and working to end the crisis of violence against transgender women.”
People already have overwhelming support from doctors to become transgender. Hormones are sometimes given on the FIRST visit. Usually on the second visit! “Oh, you want to be a girl, you’ve always felt this way? Ok. Let’s do some blood work and come back on Friday.”
BTW - most transgenders today are girls wanting to be boys. Up 4,500% since 2010. (Hey - what does Bloomberg have against transgender boys??!!)
Dammit I have to agree with Doomberg but they are men in womens clothing. No matter how much one mutilates themselves their DNA will always tell the truth
>>Gee What’s wrong with referring to a pervert somebody as “it “ and “some guy in a dress”<<
Not a thing, but why go to bat for Bloomberg?
You could also ask “What’s wrong with taking your private jet around the world?” Not a thing, but when climate-nazis do it, you don’t stick up for them, right?
Let Bloomberg get himself out of the mess.
The LGB etc crowd is a big donor class for Dems. Purpose of getting this out is to tick them off. Dems also believe this makes a candidate unelectable.
Trump had a funny last night re Mini Mike.
@realDonaldTrump
.....Mini is illegally buying the Democrat Nomination. They are taking it away from Bernie again. Mini Mike, Major Party Nominations are not for sale! Good luck in the debate tomorrow night and remember, no standing on boxes!
Is he trying to get my vote? If he comes out for deregulation, tax cuts and firing some swamp creatures, he may have a chance.
:) Trump makes me laugh :)
I think though that the powers that be will never let sanders win the nomination
If voting could change the system it would be illegal.
Normally Democratic debates are boring and stupid—but this time they may give us some actual entertainment.
A Bernie/Bloomberg cage match is what we really want. The only weapons allowed are Jewish hors d’oeuvres. Two senile codgers enter, only one can survive...
C’mon, TV producers, give us what we want!
Helping him with ordinary people, but will cause big problems for him with the deranged wing of the Demonrat party.
My premise is that they don't matter.
A certain number of high ranking officials / deep state folks must have a thing for men that like to pretend to be women?
That and there is always a certain segment of the population who for some odd reason need the opposite of everything to be true? And they will go to unbelievable efforts to make it so.
Who are the non-deranged members of the dim party?
The LG etc crowd gives a ton of money. They are a big part of the media (at one point 3 of the 4 major network anchors were gays). Matters in the big city and the sheeple Dems follow their leaders. They’re also fond of calling Republicans homophobic (a fake, poll-tested word), so that’s boomeranging on them.
This is using “Rules for Radicals” against Democrats: make the other guy live up to his stated beliefs and expose him as a hypocrite.
We also want to fracture the Dems. Make Mayor Pete’s supporters say they’ll never, under any circumstances vote for Bloomberg. Divide and conquer.
Exactly why we need to get the Bernie Bros to not accept a stolen nomination.
