Sanders Spox Claims Bloomberg Has Had Heart Attacks

The Week reports:

Bloomberg disclosed his 2000 heart operation for the first time in 2007. In December, he released a letter from his longtime physician, Dr. Stephen Sisson at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, attesting that Bloomberg is “in outstanding health,” though he developed an irregular heartbeat called an “atrial fibrillation” last year and is treating it with blood thinners. Bloomberg “has had normal cardiac stress testing annually” since he had the stents inserted in 2000, Sisson wrote, and the artery has not become clogged again.

Bernie Sanders National Press Secretary @briebriejoy tells @johnberman requests for Bernie’s heath records are a “smear campaign” and says Bloomberg “has suffered heart attacks in the past.”

Bernie Sanders National Press Secretary @briebriejoy to @brikeilarcnn: “There have been 64 sexual assault allegations leveraged against Michael Bloomberg.” That’s not right.

You’re right. I misspoke and I am more than happy to correct it. It’s 64 sexual harassment allegations.

My sincerest apologies. https://t.co/2kXaVDNrFe
