The Trump campaign is attacking former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg for his past common sense on crime. On Monday night, a video went viral of Bloomberg saying blacks are the most likely to commit violent crime in New York.

President Trump called Bloomberg “A TOTAL RACIST” in a since-deleted tweet. [Mike Bloomberg Stands Tall Against Trump’s Deleted Tweet, by Charlie Nash, Mediaite, February 11, 2020] However, the rest of Trump world kept up their tweets attacking Bloomberg for his sensible comments.
So a big test for @bpolitics today. Will they write their boss is a complete racist. This video is horrible.

The Trump campaign also posted another clip of Bloomberg defending stop-and-frisk’s disproportionate effect on non-whites.
Mike Bloomberg defended stop and frisk: "I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little. It’s exactly the reverse of what they’re saying. I don’t know where they went to school but they certainly didn’t take a math course or a logic course." pic.twitter.com/T1XpZrVrnw

The purpose of this bad faith attack is to paint the former mayor as the real racist. This is a dumb strategy—Trump himself has a long history of defending stop-and-frisk and noticing non-white criminality.
.@realDonaldTrump was right about Stop & Frisk.

And this one is from 2013:
Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed.

This attack only makes Trump look like a hypocrite. What happened to the man who promised to restore law and order?
