‘It’s like when Oprah endorsed Obama’: Judge Judy on campaign trail with Bloomberg
Judith Sheindlin — aka Judge Judy — is hitting the road for Mike Bloomberg and becoming a main attraction wherever she and the billionaire roam.
Since officially throwing in for Mike on Jan 6., the T.V. judge has barnstormed the country, including a bus tour from San Antonio to Dallas, and series of events in Oklahoma City with Bloomberg on Feb. 8. More plans are in the hopper.
Michelle Beckley, a Democratic member of the Texas legislature, said she drove nearly an hour to Dallas to hear Sheindlin speak at the Happiest Hour bar last month.
“They had to turn away three hundred people. There were about four or five hundred people. There are fire codes, that room wasn’t big enough … I have been to a lot of these events. People in Dallas are excited,” the freshman lawmaker told The Post.
“She had a very calm speech. She was not the Judge Judy that you see on TV. Her speech was very educated, very well thought out, just talking about the points about why she was supporting him. She has never supported anyone before,” Beckley added.
The stopover was part of a swing through the Lone Star state that also brought Sheindlin and Bloomberg, both 77, to San Antonio and Austin. With his near-limitless resources, Bloomberg is looking to build momentum by skipping traditional early-voting states to get a jump on the 15 states and territories which vote on March 3, Super Tuesday. Meanwhile, chaos has engulfed the Democrats’ early state nominating contests.
In Oklahoma City, Bloomberg and Sheindlin held a somber visit with former Gov. Brad Henry at a museum dedicated to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings and talked up the local press.
“I was born in Brooklyn so I have Brooklyn street smarts,” Sheindlin told Fox 25. “America doesn’t need a revolution. … It’s the most perfect country in the world and those people that are trying to change it and revolutionize it, don’t have a chance, because I’ll fight them to the death.”
As in Texas, Sheindlin always was a popular target for selfie-takers — like the Southwest Baptist University softball team.
