Until recently, Michael Bloomberg has been focusing on anti-Trump political ads. This is consistent with his promise to support whoever becomes the Democratic Party presidential nominee. Recently Bloomberg has focused his attacks on Bernie Sanders, as shown below.
I’ve been the NRA’s #1 enemy for decades. Bernie’s been the NRA’s buddy for decades.

People shouldn't have to worry about being shot when going to school, or work, or just living their lives.

Which is why I can't comprehend why @BernieSanders has voted to allow guns on Amtrak, on planes, and in national parks.
Care to explain, Bernie?
Bernie has been weak on gun safety his entire career. He’s voted against background checks. He voted to give gunmakers immunity. He’s received help from the NRA.

We can’t have a nominee who has voted to:
— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) February 24, 2020
– Block the Brady Bill 5 times
– Allow guns on trains and planes
– Protect gun manufacturers from lawsuits
– Prohibit funding for research into stopping gun violence
Unlike Bernie Sanders, I will always take the fight to the gun lobby.
Fidel Castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps, religious repression, widespread poverty, firing squads, and the murder of thousands of his own people.

In 2005, I signed a local law allowing New Yorkers to sue gun manufacturers for criminal negligence.
— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) February 24, 2020
That same year, Bernie voted to give gun manufacturers IMMUNITY — overriding my efforts to make NYers safer.
Care to explain, Bernie?
The NRA paved the road to Washington for Bernie Sanders.

He spent the next three decades making sure they got a return on their investment.
We deserve a president who is not beholden to the gun lobby.#NotMeNRA pic.twitter.com/HLYZe4J5PM
If we choose a candidate who appeals to a small base – like Senator Sanders – it will be a fatal error and we will end up with four more years of Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/T6ngR5aPcj

NRA President Wayne LaPierre told Vermonters to vote for Bernie.
— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) February 20, 2020
When Sanders ran in 1990, the NRA ran ads against his opponent.
In 2005, Bernie voted for an NRA-backed law that gave gun makers sweeping immunity from legal action, killed several pending state and local lawsuits and led, according to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, to a “deadly decade of unchecked gun industry negligence.”

Senator Sanders has said that he’ll stand up to “the NRA and its corrupting effect on Washington.”
— Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) February 20, 2020
But the truth is that if the NRA has corrupted Washington, Bernie is among the corrupt.
