@ElBloombito is back — and its talking about the Tribe.
The Twitter parody account, which mocks former Mayor Bloomberg’s garbled Spanish, is now training its ire on fact that not one but two Jews might be in this year’s presidential election.
Rachel Figueroa, the Jewish and Puerto Rican woman behind @ElBloombito, imagined how Bloomberg might take a swipe at Bernie Sanders.
Roses estan redo. Violetas estan que blue. Voto for me para el presidente. Insteado of that othero Jew.

Rumors circulated that the former mayor was considering running, and this inspired El Bloombito to create the #FeelTheBerg hashtag. One perk of Bloomberg’s run for president: fresh material for El Bloombito.
Necesito to be el presidente por que if Bernito Sanderos no represento los billioñaros yo have to que do it myselfo. #FeelTheBerg
