Kellyanne Conway said 2020 Democrat Michael Bloomberg should start firing campaign staffers after his first presidential debate appearance.
Conway sounded off on the former New York City mayor’s performance on Twitter while he contended with his primary opponents on the debate stage in Las Vegas Wednesday night. The White House adviser insinuated that Bloomberg performed poorly, insisting he should fire any staffers who claim he did the opposite.
“Mike Bloomberg should fire two groups of people tonight: those who helped with debate prep and those who squeal ‘GREAT JOB!!’ as he exits the debate stage,” she tweeted.

Conway also retweeted several other accounts critical of Bloomberg’s debate performance, including a tweet from the New York Times that highlighted a moment in the debate when Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren slammed Bloomberg for his past comments on women.
“I’d like to talk about who we’re running against,” Warren said, “a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians. And no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump; I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.”

Speaking at a rally in Phoenix, President Trump weighed in on Bloomberg’s appearance as well. The president took the stage after the opening moments of the Democratic debate and said the billionaire was getting “pounded.”
“I hear he’s getting pounded tonight. I hear they’re pounding him,” Trump said. “I think he spent all this money, he has maybe 15 points.”
