I've already made my stance on old white dudes entering the race clear... and I'd like Bloomberg, at this point, to stay out and simply use his funds to back candidates up and down the ballot - which he's been doing rather effectively.
That said... I call bullshit on this thread. Huge bullshit.
He was instrumental in bringing the Cornell Tech Campus to Roosevelt Island while mayor - which could have been a massive real estate development instead. He donated $100 million of his own money to help fund the project - the main building on the campus is named after his two daughters - one of whom is a CEO of her own company in her own right. He's still on their board.
He's been a huge supporter of STEM.
Training the labor force to be more tech savvy was one of his main pillars in his plan to help NYC recover after the great recession.
He also just donated 2 billion dollars to Johns Hopkins specifically to fund tuition for low income students.
And he's a staunch pro choice supporter.
I think this Twitter user might have overheard Bloomberg say those things in a hipster coffee shop.
He can be abrasive, sure. And there's plenty to be critical of on his record in regards to income inequality.
But the way she's making him sound on tech education and women's rights flies in the face of everything he's actually done in that space and is not realistic whatsoever.
