Fact check: Michael Bloomberg was misleading by omission when he cited a 95% decline in 'stop and frisk' while he was NY mayor. Looking at his entire mayoralty, from 2002-2013, there was a 97% increase. See DemDebate fact checks:
From CNN's Marshall CohenIn an early exchange during Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders that “ Vladimir Putin thinks that Donald Trump should be President of the United States, and that’s why Russia is helping you get elected.”
Sanders tried to fend off the attacks by condemning Russian meddling in the 2016 election and warning Putin that he wouldn’t be a Russia-friendly president.Bloomberg accurately pointed to a US intelligence community belief that Russia is trying to help Sanders’ campaign. Russia also backed Sanders in the 2016 primary, but Sanders has publicly denounced Russian interference in US politics.that Russia was trying to help his campaign.
US intelligence leaders have said that Russia routinely tries to sow discord among the American public and amplify voices on the extremes of the political spectrum, to inflame divisions and undermine the stability of American democracy. Their past support for Sanders and Trump, who have both antagonized their own parties, fits into this big-picture strategy.in a classified briefing that Russia was taking steps to help Trump win reelection.
The Russian government, at Putin’s direction, undertook an extensive campaign in 2016 to boost Sanders’ primary campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and to help Trump defeat Clinton in the general election. The Kremlin operation included well-funded troll farms, propaganda on social media, cyberattacks and leaks of private emails.
