WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday said he regretted telling off-color jokes and defended his company’s record on the treatment of female employees, saying he tried to make the company a good place to work.

Still trailing Democratic frontrunners Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren in polls, Bloomberg has quickly built a large campaign staff while releasing progressive proposals, including a pledge on Wednesday to ban flavored e-cigarettes. Bloomberg did not refer to specific jokes. ABC News reported in December that it had obtained a copy of a 32-page booklet distributed at a party in 1990 that included off-color and sexist remarks by Bloomberg reportedly compiled by his colleagues. The same report chronicled numerous discrimination lawsuits filed against the company over the last three decades.Bloomberg said his company has “very few” cases of sexual harassment given its large size.
