Presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg apologized today for an incident at a campaign meet & greet where he patted down a black voter who came to shake his hand.

“Old habits die hard as they say!”

Bloomberg first tried to dismiss his actions as a friendly pat on the shoulder but that didn’t wash.

“I guess when I turned him around and kicked his feet apart that didn’t look so friendly.”

Bloomberg promises to try not to pat down any more voters of color on the campaign trail.

“Just be sure to approach me slowly with both your hands visible.”

He also took the opportunity to unveil his 2020 campaign slogan.

“Better than Trump – just”
