Anthony Weiner Gets Into Shouting Match in First Confrontation Over Sexting Scandal
Politicker ^ | 6/5/13 | Jill Colvin

Posted on 06/06/2013 11:13:41 PM PDT by Lmo56

He’s back. An explosive Anthony Weiner received his first serious criticism from voters over the sexting scandal that forced him to resign from Congress Wednesday night–sparking a shouting match that marked the most heated moment of his campaign to date.

Mr. Weiner had given his usual stump speech touting middle class jobs and his book of policy proposals at a New Kings Democrats candidates forum in Williamsburg when the floor was opened to questions.

The second came from Chris Owens, a Brownstone Brooklyn district leader and a supporter of one of Mr. Weiner’s electoral rivals, who berated Mr. Weiner for his conduct.

“I have a three word question, ‘How dare you?’” he began, seething as he spoke. “I’m a parent, I’ve got two sons. I represent the Democratic Party. I am outraged and disgusted by you, both by what you did and by the fact that you have the arrogance to run for mayor now. And the only reason why you’re running for mayor is because you have this money that you’re going to lose.”

A dichotomy.

Toni Wiener is an arrogant little punk and I wish I had the opportunity to say that to his face.

It wasn’t long ago when elected officials resigned in shame and to never be heard from again after a scandal involving them was revealed. I guess weiner is a modern politician.

It’s probably why uma’s family arranged their union.

Don’t think she and those mbs she’s related to don’t have hubris plus.

It’s a mistake to do so.

she’s gonna make Hillary look like a mumbling doddering old mentor- well, that’s what she is.

Oh yes. She’s in his latest video campaigning for mayor and there she is spoonfeeding the child. The fox women feel so sorry for her as if she is interested in a happy home.
