In depositions from Garrison’s case, which they settled for an undisclosed sum, Bloomberg repeatedly denied the claims. “I never said those words and there would be no reason to do so, it’s ridiculous and an outrage,” he said, according to the Post. A spokesperson for the Bloomberg campaign, Stu Loeser, told the Post that “Mike simply did not say the things somebody wrote in this gag gift.” The pamphlet’s editor, Elisabeth DeMarse, maintained in 2001 that the quotes were verbatim, explaining that “this is Bloomberg culture,” and her boss was “very uncensored.”
