Bloomberg Acts Clueless When Questioned About Central Park 5 Only To Regain His Memory Days Later

At a recent campaign event in Alabama CBS News 2020 Campaign Reporter Tim Perry asked Presidential Candidate and former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg about his previous support of how the investigation into the Central Park Five case was handled.

Bloomberg's response ... He had "no idea."

After almost a week of taking heat over his comments the former mayor of New York City seems to have regained his memory. In an exclusive statement to ESSENCE Thursday evening Bloomberg said, “I believe, and the DNA shows, that these men were in jail and endured long sentences for a crime they did not commit ... I understand that this case and so many like it are about the lives that were affected and the lasting scars left on individuals, families, and communities." []
