Michael Bloomberg was eviscerated on stage at last night’s debate. And then came the memes…

Michael Bloomberg was completely eviscerated on stage during last night’s Democratic debate in Nevada.

The 78-year-old multi-billionaire, who just lasted year called trans people “it,” was attacked by pretty much every other candidate, but perhaps the worst of the blows came from Elizabeth Warren who, within the first five minutes of the debate, delivered this one-two-three-four gut punch:

I’d like to talk about who we’re running against: A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians. And no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg. Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women and of supporting racist policies like redlining and stop-and-frisk.”

And, it turns out, she was just getting started.

Throughout the evening, Warren took some major swings at Bloomberg, landing nearly every single one. She accused him of being racist and sexist, took him to task for forcing women to sign non-disclosure agreements then refusing to release them, criticized him not releasing his tax returns, lambasted his non-apology for his discriminatory stop and frisk policy, and called him an “arrogant billionaire” right to his face.

For the most part, Bloomberg stood there wearing a dumbstruck expression on his face, completely speechless and likely second guessing his decision to spend a reported $400 million of his own money to run for president.

Put simply, it was a very bad night for Bloomberg. And then came the memes…
