It was reported last week that billionaire Michael Bloomberg approved a plan to dump at least $80 million into the 2018 midterm elections to help Democrats win back the House.

Then, on Thursday evening, the independent former mayor of New York City held a fundraiser at his home for Rep. Peter King, a Republican.

The event sought to raise $10,000 for the Long Island congressman’s campaign, New York Times reporter Shane Goldmacher said on Twitter.

An adviser to Bloomberg told Goldmacher that the former mayor and King “have a long-standing relationship”:

1. Yeah...fuck that guy

Sorry but he clearly has no loyalty to Democrats!

6. Nor to America.

2. When I first read that, I thought Steve King

Now that would be weird.

3. Peter King is a slighlty more reserved type of bigot. nt

4. Hedging his bets...

Makes sense, if you have the money and lack the morals.

Though you can probably take this at face value... he already has a relationship with King, and doesn't want to drop him like a hot potato and lose all that time and money spent on him.

5. I'll admit to not having looked at polling. But is there any danger of King losing his seat? nt
