what you are saying that it does, except perhaps to residents of NYC, and I don't think his national ad buy has them as his target audience.

This is just another deceptive ad from Bloomberg. Even Joe Biden has complained about Bloomberg's misleading ads:

Shit.

Bloomberg is a piece of garbage, he has some nerve bringing up 9/11.


When is someone going to ask him about Det Zadroga?

He accused Det Zadroga of brings junkie.

Bloomberg tried to destroy the reputation of a man that literally died for helping fellow human beings.

100s of firefighters and police officers and iron workers and other trades union members died as a result of the herculean effort to recover and rescue after the attack on 9/11/01.


Bloomberg's response at the time was to accuse, post death, one of these heroes , specifically Det. Zadroga, drug using junkie.

Bloomberg is no better than the repukes that resisted passing the ZADROGA ACT in congress.

Bloomberg literally makes me sick to my stomach. I guess as a NYer I know him better, know the real piece of shit he truly is....not the propaganda MIKE that he pretends to be in his ads.
