WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday won endorsements from three Congressional Black Caucus members, a positive sign for his campaign, which has drawn scrutiny lately over his past support for a controversial policing tactic.
Meek’s endorsement, first reported by Reuters, signals that Bloomberg is building support among some top African-American politicians despite a 2015 audio recording that surfaced on Tuesday. In the recording, Bloomberg made a blunt defense of a policing strategy during his mayoralty, known as stop-and-frisk, that disproportionately ensnared blacks and Latinos.“The most vulnerable communities in America cannot weather another four years of a Donald Trump presidency,” Meeks said in a statement.
Instead, the billionaire former mayor is spending hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money to blanket the national airwaves with advertising. Those hopes have been buoyed this month as the early moderate front-runner, Joe Biden, has performed weakly in Iowa and New Hampshire.
How many white lawmakers, since we’re making the distinction?
3? 3? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂3!
Did he stop and frisk them before accepting their endorsement?
Three rich black men who never got stopped and frisked.
Did they take cash, or was this a direct deposit sort of situation?
Follow the money
What's a black law?
How much did he have to pay them
Three ENTIRE black lawmakers? Wow...!!!!!
This dude is openly racist. How tf is any black person going support him?
Michael Bloomberg has instructed that his personally owned Bloomberg Media not conduct any investigation into him. This is incompatible with democracy as much as any Trump firing or dismissal. OligarchBloomberg
How much is he paying them
'Don't listen to the audio' He's been endorsed by three black lawmakers, he can't be racist!

Trump better ask China to start an investigation...into Bloomberg.
a) He's not the presidential 'candidate'. He's trying to become Democrat nominee for the election. b) Is this the same 'US presidential candidate Bloomberg' who can't seem to get endorsed by ordinary citizens of the party he's claiming allegiance to NOW? 🤣😆 RepublicanChameleon
A whole three?
MIKE BLOOMBERG 2020
I really, truly want to see Sanders debate Bloomberg. I want them next to each other. I want them to respond to each other’s answers.
Endorsed? 🤔 hmmm...sooo how much did that cost him?
Completely ignoring his obvious issues..
If America has a choice between two New York oligarchs backed by billions of dollars, one of which is censoring any media he owns against criticism of him, the other happy to use the DoJ for the same purpose...The 2nd Amendment exists for a reason.
Money talks, it don’t sing and dance and it don’t talk. kaching
