Reportedly, Bloomberg is a vegetarian and adheres to kosher laws, no diff than Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

Why would anyone have a problem with this?

Yeah Frank, way to "fight the power" by saying somebody had a funny look on their face.

Just because you don't understand a deeper point, doesn't mean you understand the point of disagreement.

I've seen that face before (shock, unfamiliarity and thinly veiled disgust)...when one of my Seventh Day Adventist in-laws showing up at one of our barbecues/cookouts (they don't eat meat at all and pork is the most UNCLEAN and reviled). Isn't Bloomberg Jewish?

Edit: I saw an almost identical look on DH's SDA grandmother's face when I offered her tuna salad once for lunch on a visit to our home.

As with Trump, I don't expect Bloomberg to relate to my middle class lifestyle. So I won't be voting for either one.

If Trump was horrified by the sight of something commoners like, we sure wouldn't know about it from the Republicans.

I don't like deer skinning and pig roasts either. But I'm Politically Correct so I never say anything (been veggie for 47 years).....

Some would say that's NOT PC....well, whatever, I always figured it's not really my business on a personal level. If I want to invest in healthy food companies and such I can change the world that way, not by telling old Ray at the BBQ that his Pulled Pork is against my religion.

That's more a Bernie Sanders/AOC thing. Bloomberg isn't one of those kinds of democrats.


He really needs to take a clue from Hillary and pull out a bottle of hot sauce. Got to give it to the old woman, should could put on an appearance. Bloomberg not so much.

You know deep down he's judging and his face says it all, He's probably saying "Good God, Is that what you people eat? no caviar, no exquisite Chateau? Barbaric!!"

And this is why it's all for naught anyway. Democrats don't stand a chance.

Republicans & more importantly independents are caught up juvenile Democrat identity politics that requires a politician to go to Black owned BBQs, with bottle of hot sauce in tow to prove they are "regular folks". Just like Elizabeth Warren and the disastrous beer video.
