Comic Jackie Mason continues to be one of this election cycle’s more amusing political pundits — and now he has set his sights on reputed independent Michael Bloomberg.
On the former mayor’s stance on gun control, Mason figures of the billionaire: “He’s standing there with 12 bodyguards, telling you that you shouldn’t have a gun to protect you, while he has 12 guys protecting him! As if his life counts, but yours is not important? If guns are not important and nobody should have a gun to protect himself, why does Bloomberg have 12 bodyguards? Why doesn’t he stand there with 12 rabbis? Why do they have guns? Instead of guns they should have pastrami sandwiches.”
He also says Sunday to Aaron Klein on AM 970’s “The Answer” of Bloomy’s run, “It’s unbelievable that not only is a Jew now acceptable to run for president, now a Jew is a hit! Because we have a Jew if Bloomberg runs. We have another Jew with Sanders running. And we had a black person before. And the only person who can’t get a job for the presidency is a tall, white gentile.”
