Viva El Bloombito! Michael Bloomberg correcting reporter on her pronunciation of 'Texas' is cringetastic comedy gold [video]

Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign may be circling the drain, but El Bloombito is alive and well:

Reporter: You've spent a lot of time in Texas?

El Bloombito: Tejas, we'd say here

Reporter: What'd you say?

Bloombito: Tejas

Reporter: Tejas?

Bloombito: That's Spanish for 'Texas'

Reporter: Okay pic.twitter.com/AikiK16k94

It’s Michael Bloomberg at his most Michael Bloombergy.

It is Bloomberg's look of mildly irritated befuddlement that she’s not pronouncing it “Tejas” that makes this exchange magic. Like, “didn’t you read the memo about how things are down here?" pic.twitter.com/ZDSGdARMTt

Mike Bloomberg is so authentic — sorry, auténtico — it hurts.
