Politico: “Inside Bloomberg’s sprawling Manhattan headquarters, his team sprung to action: Emails started flying before sunrise about how to respond. Strategies about how to handle President Trump’s tweet calling him a “total racist” were debated. And staffers gathered for a morning meeting worried about how to manage black surrogates and supporters whose endorsements were to be rolled out that week.”
“Leaders for Bloomberg’s black and Latino constituency teams gathered on a call with staffers spread across the country to get ahead of the news and calm their nerves. They talked about Bloomberg’s evolution from high-profile defender to deeply apologetic critic of ‘stop and frisk’… Advisers to the former New York City mayor distributed talking points that catalogued his work on economic opportunity and racial justice.”
“Meanwhile, in a conference room at his Times Square headquarters, the mayor assembled about 20 black pastors for a pre-scheduled meeting that lasted more than two hours and included face time with Bloomberg.”
