Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg unleashed on socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and those embracing socialism instead of capitalism
Michael Bloomberg slams Ocasio-Cortez: "I’m a little bit tired of listening to things that are pie in the sky that we never are going to pass, never going to afford. I think it’s just disingenuous to promote those things. You’ve got to do something that’s practical." pic.twitter.com/WFbDo9OyWK
