Bloomberg Banned Soda As NYC Mayor. He Thinks He Has A Right To As President Too
Mayor Mike Bloomberg was infamous for his soda ban in the early 2000s. It was seen as nanny state out of control when it happened. While also banning indoor smoking duringhis mayoral reign, he’s most known for the soda ban. He banned any sodas larger in size than 16 ounces. It was met with shock by America. But since running for President, it’s come out how he hasn’t shied away from it. He’s double downed on it.
In response to his soda ban, he said that sometimes the government does know best, and that there’s times when Americans should just cede their rights. additionally, he went on to say that the government can infringe on whatever freedoms it wants.
“I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom,” he said on Meet The Press.
