Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg says women who are debating whether or not to support him should "just look at the record.”
NEW YORK CITY — Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg says women who are debating whether or not to support him should “just look at the record.”
Bloomberg repeatedly faced allegations of making sexist comments to and about women as head of the global financial news company, fostering a “frat-like culture.” Bloomberg’s spokesman Stu Loeser issued a statement about the mogul’s crude remarks, saying, “Mike has come to see that some of what he has said is disrespectful and wrong.”
Bloomberg’s event was attended by about 1,200 people in the ballroom of the Sheraton New York hotel in Midtown Manhattan, where he had celebrated his third mayoral victory. “I don’t really do politics, but I love Mike. He’s down to earth, he’s real,” Ross-Willis told Yahoo News before she was tapped to go on stage and stand behind Bloomberg as he spoke at the podium.
She attributed her successful career “1,000 percent” to Bloomberg, and said she trusts he’ll make a better president than Trump based on his experience as a business leader.
