Watch: ‘Mini Mike’ Informs Us Something That We Already Knew And It’s Not Going To Help Him, Period.
Former New York City Mayor and 2020 presidential hopeful “Mini Mike” Bloomberg informed of something we already know. Matter of fact, we’ve been there and seen that last week.
Bloomberg is still conducting damage control over the videos of him praising his “stop and frisk policy” and his comments about minorities. During a pandering session on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation,” Bloomberg told us he is not “the smartest guy in the room.”
Bloomberg said, “Well, that’s the good news is they think that I’m a threat. If they didn’t think I was, they wouldn’t mention me. So that’s the good side of it. The bad news is you’re the target, and everybody’s going to go after you. But, you know, I’m able to handle myself. And I’m very proud of what I’ve done in life. And my 12 years of experience in City Hall. I think you would agree the city is a lot better than when I found it. My company has done very well. I give away an enormous amount of money. Am I perfect? No, I made mistakes. And I think the key is, if you make a mistake, to be mature enough to learn from it, ask for forgiveness. Give an apology, but change. You can’t rewrite history. People say I made a mistake and then stop there. Then it hurts you twice. First, that I think you made a mistake, second thing is you’re not going—you’re going to make another mistake.”
Bloomberg continued, “I’ve got to learn every time. And I’ve been confident in myself enough to know what I do well is I put teams together, and I ask people, and I delegate authority to go along with responsibility. And I’m not so proud that I think that I know everything. I think I can work harder than anybody else, but I’m certainly not the smartest guy in the room. I want to know what did I do wrong, you tell me, I’ll change, if I think it’s the right thing to do, or if I don’t, at least I’ll know. I’ll have another viewpoint.”
Mr. Bloomberg, we saw you during the debate last week, it is very clear you are not the smartest guy in the room.
