Mike Bloomberg had just finished taking a group photograph with a delegation of New York University students at Bloomberg LP headquarters when he struck up a conversation with Sekiko Sakai, one of the top-performing saleswomen of his namesake product, the Bloomberg Terminal.
Now nearly 25 years on, it is Bloomberg who is feeling the impact of the alleged remark as he makes a run for the White House. "At least I didn't have a boss who said to me, 'kill it,' the way Mayor Bloomberg is alleged to have said to one of his pregnant employees," Warren said at Tuesday's debate in South Carolina.MORE: Sanders and Bloomberg rise, Biden falls, with sharp shifts in views of electability

"The words which were spoken to me by the CEO of my company on April 11, 1995 should never be heard by an expectant mother awaiting the birth of her first child," Sakai wrote in an undated letter addressed to Rep. Sue Kelly, R-N.Y."I understand you are a strong advocate of women's issues and worker rights. I ask for your assistance to monitor my dispute in a timely and constructive manner.
Sakai replied,"That's how I feel … said some really demeaning humiliating things to me, but that was me, not my unborn child."
