The back-and-forth comes as Wednesday’s final Democratic primary debate before the Nevada caucuses will feature the first appearance from former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg. The former Republican and billionaire businessman is expected to be the focus of his 2020 rivals as he continues to surge in the polls.
Bloomberg is under heavy criticism over past comments unearthed this week, including some that were racially insensitive and others that sounded dismissive of farmers.

“If Democrats don’t take him out, Republicans will,” McCain declared first flagged by Media Matters. “You want to go up against [President] Trump and you want to take the moral high ground, Democrats? I don’t know if this guy is going to be the one you can put your character up against.”
Behar responded by reeling off some of the insensitive comments Trump has made.
“I’m not defending Trump because I’m attacking Bloomberg!” exclaimed McCain. “I’m supposed to give Bloomberg a pass? Not on this show! Not with this host!”
“I would like to know who you are going to vote for. Who are you voting for?” Behar asked in response.
“Who I vote for is none of your business!” McCain retorted. “But I am not voting for Trump and I sure as hell am not voting for Bloomberg!”

“So you’re not going to vote. So you’re not going to vote. You’re not voting for Trump and you’re not voting for a Democrat. You said that,” Behar shot back.
