Why you shouldn't eat the Bloomberg campaign's pizza, in one weird video
Michael Bloomberg is not taking his own advice on how to curb the coronavirus — or exactly adhering to commonly accepted standards of normal cleanliness either.
As voters headed to the polls in 14 Super Tuesday states, Bloomberg made a stop at a Virginia campaign office, a video from his Snapchat story shows. The video, captioned "when in doubt, rip the crust off," reveals the former New York City mayor reach into a box of pizza to do just that. He tears off some crust, put it in his mouth while seemingly licking his fingers, and then goes back in for more crust. Bloomberg finishes with a lick of each finger, and then rests the freshly doused hand on a box of coffee next to the pizza.
Bloomberg presumably has enough money to buy a personal pizza for himself instead of slobbering up whatever his campaign staffers have ordered. Watch the video here.
