Bloomberg and Sanders teams exchange a testy back and forth over medical records
A campaign spokesman for former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg lashed out Wednesday at his counterpart on the campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, accusing the senator’s spokeswoman of spreading lies about Bloomberg’s cardiovascular health.
“They think I’m not in good health, come on out with me on the campaign trail. And I’ll let you introduce me to the three or four rallies a day we do. How’s that?” he asked moderator Anderson Cooper, who then sought to clarify that Sanders was declining to release more records. “I don’t think we will, no,” Sanders responded.
Kevin Sheekey, Bloomberg’s campaign manager, blasted Gray for “spreading lies” about his candidate while also slamming Sanders over his reluctance to be more transparent about his health. Sanders, meanwhile, “had a medical incident in Las Vegas. He didn’t tell the public for days and the full details have never been released,” Sheekey argued. “Facts matter. This isn’t the way to defeat Donald Trump in November.”in a tweet that she had misspoken when asserting Bloomberg had suffered heart attacks.
“The American people have a right to know whether the person they’re going to be voting for for president is healthy,” he said last September.
