PHILADELPHIA — Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was hailed as a hero at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Wednesday as he used his prime-time speech to launch into a series of attacks on GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“I’m a New Yorker, and New Yorkers know a con when we see one!” he said to thunderous applause. “Truth be told, the richest thing about Donald Trump is his hypocrisy.”
