Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) on Thursday endorsed Anthony Weiner for mayor of New York City.
“Anthony’s a good guy in my opinion. Now, he should’ve came clean once he got busted, you know, and I’m sorry he didn’t do that – but he’s sorry he didn’t do that and his [wife Huma Abedin’s] sorry he didn’t do that,” Ellison said on Current TV to host Bill Press.
“Look man, nobody here is perfect. Anthony was a great congressman in my opinion, and he’s dealt with his issues and everybody has issues. So I’d love to see Anthony Weiner be mayor of New York. I hereby endorse him.”
Weiner and Abedin, an aide to Hillary Clinton, gave a wide-ranging interviews to The New York Times Magazine, which was published Wednesday, and Weiner says he’s considering a mayoral bid this year. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, resigned from Congress in 2011 following the fallout from a scandal in which he accidentally tweeted a lewd photograph of himself.
Ellison said on Current TV that while his endorsement is “unsolicited,” he still thinks Weiner is an “awesome guy.”
“I heard somebody say, ‘Weiner’s angry.’ But he’s not angry – he’s passionate. He believes in what he’s doing. he was so into making sure people got a chance to go to a doctor,” Ellison told Press. “He was an indispensable voice on the issue of health care. And I just – you know, he and I had some disagreements on some Middle East stuff, but he was always congenial in terms of discussing it. But I like Anthony Weiner a lot. And I think his wife is an awesome person. He would do the city of New York a lot of good, I think.”
"That's right - I don't like people calling me Huma Weiner."
Oh, my. I. Laughed. Out. LOUD.
“‘Weiner’s angry.’ But he’s not angry – he’s passionate.”
LOL. Weiner’s on fire.
His wife doesn’t care what he does. He is nothing but a beard for her so she can clean Hillary’s carpet, and pass on information to the Middle East Muslims.
Your opinion isn't worth SPIT, Ellison...and neither is Anthony limpdick.
One weiner kissing up to another weiner.
With the Ellison endorsement... Weiner will get the Islamic Terrorist vote
Man you are right on with that comment!
I like the quote and copied it. Thanks!
You’re very welcome!
I understand some expect Weiner will offer stiff opposition. There are those who believe he possesses the total package.
They deserve each other.
NJ Gov McGreevey can be added to this list.
If they were all Republicans they would be toast, no question about it. But, Democrats know that they can do anything and get away with it because they will always have the moron vote along with the blessings of the mainstream media.
What a happy looking couple! High ranking muslim, and a gutter ranking schmuck.
Whatever could go wrong with their blissful marriage???
The headlines write themselves. I love the NYP.
I have heard that Oscar Mayer will endorse him today and put the weiner mobile at has disposal.
