Anthony Weiner — yes, that Anthony Weiner — talked to Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter Sunday morning about Hillary Clinton’s road trip to Iowa in the now infamous Scooby van, which he said bespoke of the unexpected in comparison GOP’s candidate’s staged events, and said the media was focusing on arcane or frivolous details that mattered only to the insider types, not to voters.
If you’re thinking, “Wait, Anthony Weiner’s a media critic now?” you’re not alone. You may also be thinking: isn’t Huma Abedin, Weiner’s long-suffering wife, also Hillary Clinton’s long-suffering aide, and wasn’t she actually in said Scooby van during the trip?
The answer to both is yes. Weiner swore that he and Abedin pointedly did not discuss the campaign, and that she might not even know he was on CNN talking about it. (Why was he on CNN talking about it?)
Weiner went on to dismiss the “media’s” nitpicking of every detail of the Clinton rollout as insider baseball that will never affect a real voter’s decision.
“If you look at the coverage that arguably mattered the most, the things people were writing about in Iowa, they didn’t care that the guy in the orange pants couldn’t catch up with the truck,” Weiner said. “The campaign is beginning the way I would hope my president would behave, which is: let’s try to figure out the right thing to do to be in touch what Americans care about. That’s the way I want my president to think, as well as a candidate.”
Watch the clip below, via CNN:
Yes, he’s CNN’s Chief Wiener Inspector.
He will blow up her campaign so I hope they listen to him.
How many times has Weiner had threesomes
with his wife and Hillary?
They meant analist.
Boy, CNN is scraping the bottom of the barrel. This guy’s a dick....er, ah, a Weiner.
I agree. I hope he keeps showing up on the air, shilling for Hillary.
I guess he’s launching his new career... as a comedian.
Better he do this than post pics of his pecker on twitter
Speaking of inside baseball type information, many people may not know that Weiner is married to Hillary’s top aide Huma Abedin. Did Weiner give full disclosure of this with his commentary?
Will the fact that Weiner and Huma are married, affect Weiner’s commentary as the campaign unfolds???
I love it; let the man speak!!!
Did he whip out his d***?
“Wait, Anthony Weiner’s a media critic now?”
Well of course. He’s a registered democrat. Therefore he qualifies to be on the air.
Now he and Hiliary’s “husband” can have a sword fight...CNN’s last resort...porn sells.
You misspelt analist as analyst.
Stupid Spitzer was gone soon after.
He's already got a campaign song.
Is this a trick question?
