WATCH: Voter Confronts Mike Bloomberg on His Radical Gun Control Agenda Despite Having Armed Security; Mike Bloomberg Fires Back at Trump’s ‘Mini Mike’ Taunts
By The Blaze. Democratic presidential candidate and gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg was asked by a voter on Monday how he can “justify” his agenda aimed at restricting his fellow Americans’ right to defend themselves while he himself enjoys the security of having armed guards protect him. . .
During a Fox News town hall, Virginia voter Clarke Chitty rose from the audience to ask Bloomberg, “How do you justify pushing for more gun control when you have an armed security detail that is likely equipped with the same firearms and magazines that you seek to ban the common citizen from owning? Does your life matter more than mine or my family’s or these people’s?”

The crowd erupted in cheers before Bloomberg replied, “Look, I probably get 40 or 50 threats every week, okay, and some of them are real. That just happens when you’re the mayor of New York City or you’re very wealthy and if you’re campaigning for president of the United States. You get lots of threats. So, I have a security detail, I pay for it all myself, and…they’re all retired police officers who are very well trained in firearms.” (Read more from “WATCH: Voter Confronts Mike Bloomberg on His Radical Gun Control Agenda Despite Having Armed Security” HERE)

Mike Bloomberg Fires Back at Trump’s ‘Mini Mike’ Taunts: I ‘Measure Height From the Neck up’
By Fox News. Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg responded to President Trump’s repeated references to his less-than-six-foot stature, telling a Fox News Town Hall that height is “measured from the neck up.”
At the past weekend’s CPAC event in Oxon Hill, Md., Trump riffed on Bloomberg’s height — at one point crouching at his lectern so his forehead was barely visible on the dais.
“We’ve got Mini Mike, but I think he’s out of it,” Trump said in the clip, played by Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum during their Northern Virginia town hall. . .
Bloomberg watched the clip showing little expression but riffed in response that physical height isn’t all that matters when it comes to stature.
“Donald talks about height — where I come from we measure height from the neck up,” he said, receiving applause for the remark. (Read more from “Mike Bloomberg Fires Back at Trump’s ‘Mini Mike’ Taunts: I ‘Measure Height From the Neck up'” HERE)
