Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg mocked former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke on Thursday for embarking on a quest to get his political positions in sync with Democratic primary voters.

'Beto — whatever his name is — he's apologized for being born,' Bloomberg said during a Bermuda Executive Forum in New York City.

'I don't mean to be unkind,' he added.

O'Rourke did apologize for telling a Vanity Fair reporter: 'I'm just born to be in it' — a line widely interpreted as a boast that he was born to work in the Oval Office.

'I was like, "Man, I hope I didn't say that," he told reporters in Iowa as he fell on his sword just hours after the magazine's release. 'And somebody read the article for me, and I think the context of that which makes sense and is the way that I feel, is that I'm born to serve, I'm born to try to help bring people together.'

Following reports that he had written a first-person story about gleefully killing two children with his car, O'Rourke said he was 'mortified to read it now, incredibly embarrassed. But I have to take ownership of my words.'

And after feminists complained about a campaign stump joke about how his wife is raising their three children, 'sometimes with my help,' he offered a meek mea culpa for assuming male privilege.

'Not only will I not say that again,' O’Rourke pledged, 'but I’ll be more thoughtful going forward in the way that I talk about our marriage.'

Bloomberg also jabbed at former Vice President Joe Biden for prefacing his likely presidential run with a series of atonements.

'Joe Biden went out and apologized for being male, over 50, white,' he said, adding that Biden had also 'apologized for the one good piece of legislation [he passed in the Senate], that is actually a pretty good anti-crime bill.'

Bloomberg has decided not to stir the Democratic primary field but plans to spend up to $500 million to help prevent President Donald Trump's re-election.

He said Thursday that staying on the political sidelines was inevitable because some of his political record wouldn't play well now.

'It's just not going to happen on a national level for someone like me, starting where I am,' Bloomberg said, 'unless I was willing to change my views and go on what CNN called an "apology tour".'
