Mike Bloomberg won Endorsements from Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY, 5th District), and two other Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Reps. Lucy McBath (D-GA, 6th District) and Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands, At-Large).
The show of Support came a day after Bloomberg was Slammed for Resurfaced 2015 Audio in which he said he had Deployed “all the cops in minority neighborhoods” when he was the Three-Term Mayor of New York City because that’s where they’d find “all the crime."
“The most vulnerable communities in America cannot weather another four years of a Donald Trump presidency,” Meeks said in a Statement. “We need someone in the White House who will unite us behind the common purpose of rebuilding our nation's infrastructure and driving our economy forward into the 21st century. Mike Bloomberg will do exactly that.”
Meeks, who Heads the Queens County Democratic Party, Praised Bloomberg’s 12 years as Mayor, saying he “made promises with concrete plans to see them through. As president, he will do the same.”
Bloomberg has sought to Defuse Criticism of his Past embrace of Controversial Policing Tactics since just before the Start of his Presidential Run. He Apologized for his Handling of Stop-and-Frisk, which Disproportionately Targeted Black and Latino People, in November 2019 in Brooklyn.
On the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day last month, he continued to woo Black Voters with a Sweeping Proposal to Redress the Economic Legacy of Generations of Discrimination against African Americans.
Bloomberg Repeated his Stop-and-Frisk mea culpa Tuesday. "I regret that and I have apologized — and I have taken responsibility for taking too long to understand the impact it had on Black and Latino communities,” he said in a Statement.
While an Elected Official in New York City for his 12 years in Office, and a Member of the Campaigns, who carried his Three Petitions for my District, the 73rd Assembly District in the East-Side of Mid-Town Manhattan, I tracked the Policed Reports. I always questioned the numbers. As one of its functions was to keep the guns off the street, many posts found it was Whites that was caught with guns more than, African-Americans or Hispanics.
