Shocker.

Via Politico:

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says people who are criticizing Hillary Clinton over her handling of the Benghazi attacks are engaging in “cheap politics,” and that both she and Jeb Bush would be “quality” presidential choices.

Bloomberg made the comments in a recent interview with POLITICO in which he touched on a range of topics, including the 2012 attacks in the Libyan city.

“Hillary, you know, I’ve worked with [when she was a] senator and just as a friend, that sort of thing. I think most of the criticisms of Hillary are totally unfounded — you can maybe disagree with her policies, but what’d you expect her to do in Benghazi?” he said. “I mean, it’s that kind of cheap politics which I don’t like. She’s very competent.”

The attacks, which killed four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, have been a rallying cry for many on the right, especially detractors of Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time.
