Comedian and actor Andy Richter went on an expletive-laden rant against 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg on Tuesday, urging Democrats to “say no to this f*****”.”
Richter Unleashed
The longtime sidekick to TBS late-night host Conan O’Brien tweeted, “Seriously, f*** this racist misogynist bigot. Who else do you need him to dehumanize before you decide he doesn’t deserve your vote?”

Richter was responding to a video in which Bloomberg is heard describing the presidential race as dwindling down to “some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room, is not a winning formula for most people.”
Think Bloomberg Might Be the Best Chance to Beat Trump? Richter Doesn’t Want to Hear It
When a social media commenter said to Richter that Bloomberg “might be in the best position to beat Trump,” Richter doubled down on his criticism.
“You’re already admitting a moral defeat,” Richter said. “How’s about we all say no to this f***** now, loudly and clearly so that our fellow Dems hear us, and so that the groups he insults and belittles know we have their back? Speak up now and you won’t have to vote for him in November.”

As Bloomberg Rises, So Do Attacks from the Left
Bloomberg’s poll numbers have gone up considerably, and he became qualified for Wednesday’s Las Vegas debate after some rules changes were made. The former New York City mayor has to date spent over $124 million in political advertising ahead of the upcoming primaries. As his popularity increases, so do attacks from the left over videos of him making what sounds like anti-LGBT remarks or saying “all the crime” occurs in minority neighborhoods.
Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders has called Bloomberg “obscene” and Bernie’s progressive rival Elizabeth Warren has labeled an “egomaniac billionaire.”
Surely the sparks will fly during the Democratic debate Wednesday night–and that’s just Andy Richter’s Twitter!
