(Joseph A. Wulfsohn) Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg continued to be a target at the Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night, but Twitter wasn’t any kinder, as some accused him of making a “Freudian slip” about his involvement in the 2018 midterm elections.

Bloomberg, who has repeatedly been slammed by progressive candidates Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., over his financial influence in past elections, defended his spending on stage in South Carolina by giving himself a pat on the back for helping Democrats retake the House of Representatives.
“They talk about 40 Democrats, 21 of those are people that I spent $100 million to help elect,” Bloomberg said. “All of the new Democrats that came in put [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi in charge and gave Congress the ability to control this president.”
He added: “I bought — I uh, got them.”
Incredible. In the #DemDebate, billionaire Bloomberg boasted that he "bought" right-wing neoliberal Democrats like Nancy Pelosi
Then after saying "bought," he quickly corrected himself and said "I bought, uh got them" pic.twitter.com/2mcDgPPhIJ

“Mike Bloomberg just slipped up and said he ‘bought’ the new class of freshman House Democrats. LOL! That’s right Mike,” journalist Michael Tracey said.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
