Klobuchar continued the attacks, saying, "I don't think you look at Donald Trump and say we need someone richer in the White House," commenting that Bloomberg "shouldn't be hiding behind his TV ads."

Mayor Pete called Bloomberg "a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power." He paralleled Bloomberg with President Trump, saying, "We shouldn't have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out." He added that voters should "put forward somebody who's actually a Democrat."

Elizabeth Warren

Warren took the biggest swing, shortly after the debate started, saying, "I'd like to talk about who we're running against. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians. And no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump, I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg."

Warren continued throughout the night to call out Bloomberg over his former female employees' claims that they had faced a hostile work environment at his company, Bloomberg LP.

Bloomberg offered the defenses that "70% of people who work at my company are women" and "they get paid exactly the same as the men."

Warren continued to light into Bloomberg: "I hope you've heard what his defense was, 'I've been nice to some women.' That just doesn't cut it."

Warren persisted, "We are not going to beat Donald Trump with a man who has who knows how many nondisclosure agreements and the drip, drip, drip of stories of women saying they have been harassed and discriminated against. That's not what we do as Democrats."
