Doesn’t Bloomberg realize that we have Twitter at our fingertips and could have just seen these tweets and hashtags for free?

Money well spent, big guy.

Let’s be real for one second and acknowledge that both Bloomberg and Sanders are trying to buy the election.

Bloomberg is doing it with his own money.

Sanders is doing it with free stuff.

The Wrap reported:

Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has been spending a lot of money on presidential campaign ads targeting President Donald Trump, but pivoted Monday to take on primary challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders, calling out the online actions of some of the progressive’s supporters.

The ad shows a barrage of threatening and harassing tweets and text messages allegedly from Bernie supporters.

Even though the content is pretty outlandish, and I’m certainly not condoning the behavior or the statements being shared, but it isn’t anything that conservatives don’t already face on a regular basis, especially Trump supporters.

Additionally, I’ll say this until I’m blue in the face – THE SMALLEST DOGS BARK THE LOUDEST.

You know how there are plenty of huge corporations that don’t ever have an advertisement on television or on social media? That’s because they’re so well known and successful that they don’t need to be extra.

Confidence is silent and insecurities are loud.

More from The Wrap:

In the ad, posted early Monday morning, tweets from a handful of Sanders backers, featuring memes and hashtags like #BernieOrElse, appear on the screen. “Vote Bernie or bad things will happen,” warns one tweet.

Another says, “Libs who are flirting with Bloomberg now should be aware that they are going on lists. Next time they pretend to care about racism or sexual harassment or really anything other than money and power, we will remember what they were doing right now and we will remind everyone.”

Those are followed by screenshots of what appear to be harassing text messages purportedly sent by Sanders supporters to Democrats not inclined to vote for him in the primary, as well as headlines from prominent news outlets highlighting the harassment.

The ad references The Daily Dot’s “Are You Being Harassed by a Bernie Bro or a Bernie Bot?” and Bret Stephens’ New York Times column, “Bernie’s Angry Bros,” tapping into the stereotype of Sanders’ most ardent supporters leftover from 2016. Finally, it shows Sanders himself hailing the importance of “civil discourse,” but ends with one word on screen: “Really?”
