As He Eyes 2020 Run, Bloomberg Changes Course On Old Issue | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[iceastone]

as a native new yorker, i'll ask this. if he wasn't so called running for president, would he be apologizing or acknowledging he was wrong? i don't think so. no, sorry. i don't buy it. moving on.

[beachbum]

He's wasting his money, trying to protect his money. His apology is Way to little, to late, and disingenuous is an understatement.

[ezrathompson]

Why are we supposed to care about Michael Bloomberg again? Because he's rich?

[mvtelectra]

Don't make the same mistake twice. Bloomberg does not have the American people in his better interest.

[jollyandwaylo]

Also violent crime rates dropped all over the country when they were dropping in NYC so 'stop and frisk' really had little or no effect on crime rates. It did have an effect for those racists wanting to harass people with darker skin than theirs.

[dianedahy]

Omg he's the guy that wouldn't let you buy the size soda you want because sugar is bad for you. WHAT A JOKE!!!

[joyicechase]

NOW you want to apologize.... its not going to help

[moonmorth]

Bernie Sanders made it abundantly clear that the only reason he voted for that Bill was because of the provisions in the bill that help out women. And we all know if he didn't vote for that bill people would be claiming him an anti-feminist. Unfortunately in politics they often slip it in provisions unrelated to the main topic to make the bill more or less enticing to vote on.

[catalinacurio]

Bloomberg would be better getting behind Bernie if he wants to help America!

[shirleyandrews]

No no no Bloomberg # he’s REALLY a Repub. at heart. Besides he’s a New Yorker !

[ruthdepew]

Anyone pushing eighty and thinks he has nothing for which to apologize is even worse. On the other hand, I don't want a president who is pushing eighty.

[samdill]

A vote for Bloomberg is a vote for Netanyahu! Wake-up America!

[HellenShort]

When you focus 90% of your policing on a specific demographic it also skews the crime statistics.

Just saying.

[compassionandhumility]

I love how they toss Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren under the bus any chance they get. * *eye roll* * Like he''s really concerned that Warren was ever republican...if anything, that would please him. He's concerned because she's left of center, which is why they label her a socialist all the time.

[michaelrdugger]

Al was wrong on something. Bernie has addressed the crime Bill, as he voted for it for the women's acts that were attached to it, he said the rest of the bill was bad.

[AngelaMStovall]

People have this weird admiration for rich people? I heard a story yesterday that this guy completely admires and sees as successful a person getting out of a $300, 000 car going into a 5-star restaurant & considers a person getting out of a cheaper car with cheaper clothes not successful? That's so ridiculous whereas I look at them and see a person with a history that could have been born into their wealth, which is most likely, or they do things that I would never do to become that rich and greed is rampant among the super wealthy. The top 2% are very different from us and cannot pass laws that affects our lives they cannot understand what we're going through or there wouldn't be such an income disparity. So we need to change our views on materialistic things and what we consider successful like meaningfulness in our lives and jobs, then the income disparity will change.

[fredintoronto]

I don't consider Bloomberg and Biden as viable contenders unless they change their positions on legalizing cannabis. The Democrats deserve a knowledgeable forward thinking leader.

[OroborusFMA]

MSNBC just spent more time on Bloomberg than it spends on Sanders in a week - at least.

[serenityever]

Bloomberg should quit before he starts.

[matlew]

He was still defending Stop and Frisk in January 2019. What changed your mind Mike.
