I’m not taking a tweet at face value. Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. Just give me the verification.

Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York, waded into one of the nation’s fiercest Senate races and threw his financial and rhetorical support behind Senator Scott Brown on Thursday, praising Brown’s defiance of the National Rifle Association on its top legislative priority.

The “biggest reason” the mayor decided to support Brown was the senator’s opposition to the National Right-To-Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow gun owners to carry concealed weapons across state lines, said Stu Loeser, a Bloomberg spokesman.

Bloomberg, who cofounded a group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns with Mayor Thomas M. Menino of Boston, has made gun control one of his top issues.

The New York mayor, who will hold an August fund-raiser for Brown at his Upper East Side townhouse, could help the senator tap wealthy New York donors and build his case that he is an independent voice willing to buck party orthodoxy.

I hope I never have to cast my vote for him. I would have to do a bit more than just hold my nose...
