Two comedians, Nick Ciarelli and Brad Evans, trolled the Bloomberg campaign bigly and drove the Internet to where #DropOutBloomberg was trending No. 29 worldwide. Evans claimed to be a Bloomberg 2020 Social Media Coordinator that supposedly arranged with Ciarelli to produce a #MovesLikeBloomberg dance. Later, Ciarelli supposedly got fired by tweet by Team Bloomberg and, as a result, Evans supposedly quit his unpaid internship.
Awful lot of Dems, news media, and especially Bloomberg fans who lack discernment and research skills!
