Billionaire former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg's presidential candidacy has seen a boost in recent weeks despite him having yet to appear on a debate stage or a primary ballot.
Bloomberg championed New York's controversial Stop and Frisk law, which was found unconstitutional in 2013 for disproportionately targeting Black and Brown communities.
<p>A recent tape of Bloomberg defending the law's devastating effect on people of color recently surfaced, calling into question what his policies on race would be as President.</p><p>Former White House Press Secretary <a href="https://secondnexus.com/donald-trump-sarah-sanders-war-powers" target="_blank">Sarah Huckabee Sanders</a>, who appeared on Fox News to criticize the language used by Bloomberg in the video.</p><p><div id="action_button_container"></div></p><p><strong>Watch below.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

<p></p><p><strong>Apparently forgetting what irony is, Sanders said:</strong><br></p><blockquote><em>"If he continues to rise, he is going to have serious problems with women, with African-Americans. His record, his language is offensive and atrocious."</em></blockquote><p>Bloomberg's stance was indefensible, but Sanders souns a lot different when defending her former boss's own "offensive and atrocious" language.</p><p><strong>Only two months ago, Sanders defended him when he attacked a recently widowed Congresswoman at a Michigan rally:</strong><br></p><p><div id="c7da91bc-8e44-492f-b7fd-c382c0e55bda"></div></p><blockquote><em>Look, the president's a fighter. He's somebody who is never going to take a punch and not punch back.</em></blockquote><p><strong>When Trump <a href="https://secondnexus.com/news/native-americans-pocahontas-slur-trump-racist" target="_blank">used a racial slur</a> for indigenous peoples to refer to Senator Elizabeth Warren, Sanders said:</strong></p><blockquote><em>"I think what most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career."</em></blockquote><p>Trump used the slur at an event honoring the Navajo Code Talkers.</p><p><div data-conversation-spotlight=""></div></p><p><strong>When Trump accused <em>Morning Joe </em>co-host Mika Brzezinsky of "bleeding badly from a facelift," Sanders said:</strong><br></p><blockquote><em>"I don't think you can expect someone to be personally attacked day after day, minute by minute, and sit back. When the president gets hit, he's going to hit back harder."</em></blockquote><p>As for "problems" with support from women and African-Americans, Trump has infamously low support from both.</p><p><strong>The irony was too much.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
