OPINION
It turns out that Mini Mike has a Big Mouth.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been generating headlines over past comments he’s made disparaging black people, pregnant women and the intelligence of farmers.
But those comments pale in comparison with what he said about the elderly.
“If you’re bleeding, we’ll stop the bleeding. If you need an x-ray, you’re gonna have to wait,” Bloomberg told a Jewish family, explaining the rising cost of healthcare.
“If you show up with prostate cancer, and you’re 95 years old, we should say, ‘Go and enjoy…Lead a long life. There’s no cure, we can’t do anything.’ A young person, we should do something about it. Society’s not willing to do that yet.”
There’s no way Bloomberg should ever be allowed anywhere near the White House — or a nursing home.
Bloomberg says we should deny healthcare to the elderly.
“If you show up with cancer & you’re 95 years old, we should say, Go & enjoy. There’s no cure, we can’t do anything. A young person, we should do something. Society’s not willing to do that yet.”

NOTE: Leadstories.com – a so-called fact-checking website run by a former CNN staffer, says we must clarify that Bloomberg was “specifically referencing men of 95 with prostate cancer, not all Americans over 65 with any illness.”
