Mike Bloomberg Gets Attacked at South Carolina Debate

Seven Democratic presidential candidates gathered for the South Carolina Democratic debate on Wednesday night. The debate was messy, to say the least. Candidates were throwing shade toward each other. Mike Bloomberg being the main one. Elizabeth Warren called out Bloomberg for saying an insensitive comment to his female employees. The alleged comment has been all over the media since he decided to run for president. In addition, Bloomberg allegedly made comments about women’s reproductive rights to another female employee. These alleged comments may hurt his campaign. Bloomberg was also questioned about the stop and frisk program in New York, as he was formerly the mayor of New York City. Every single candidate on stage has caught flack for their past. It seems that now, the debates are used for the candidates to attack each other rather than a way to express their own views and ideas.
