The original statement from Bloomberg campaign manager Kevin Sheekey accused Sanders and Trump of “deploy[ing] the very same attacks and tactics against Mike,” and came the same day that Bloomberg released an ad attempting to tie Sanders to tweets from some of his apparent supporters attacking other candidates.
“Sen. Sanders is building a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-generational movement for justice. We recognize that our opponents in the establishment would like to perpetuate a false myth to discount the breadth and diversity of our supporters — and we categorically reject it," Sanders campaign deputy director of communications Sarah Ford said in a statement to The Hill Monday.
"As the senator has said loudly and clearly, there is no room in the political revolution for abuse and harassment online, and we must live our values of love and compassion,” Ford added.
Sanders has repeatedly blasted Bloomberg since his entry into the race for blanketing the airwaves with ads without entering early primaries and caucuses, saying in Nevada Sunday “I’ve got news for Mr. Bloomberg, and that is the American people are sick and tired of billionaires buying elections.”

And here's a picture of Mike Bloomberg speaking at the RNC in 2004.
This man has no place in a Democratic primary, though it seems many Democrats would rather have us think that Bernie Sanders, the man who embodies the working-class focus that the party once held, is the one who should have no place. Be sure to let them know what you think when your state's primary or caucus rolls around.
