Weiner explodes at heckler’s rant

On the eve of Rosh Hashana, mayoral candidate AnšŸƒthony Weiner got into a screaming match yesterday with a fellow Jew who called him ā€œdisgustingā€ and complained, ā€œYouā€™re married to an Arab.ā€

The former congressman ā€” whose wife, Huma Abedin, is a Muslim ā€” was exiting a bakery in theš•“ Borough Park section of BrooklyšŸØn when a yarmulke-clad patron loudly called Weiner a ā€œscumbag.ā€

ā€œTakes one to know one, jackass,ā€ shot back Weiner, carrying honey cake ź¦¦he had just bought for the Jewish New ā›„Yearā€™s holiday.

Turning back, Weiner confronted his tormentor.

ā€œAnd youā€™re a perfect person? Youā€™reā™” my judge? What rabbi taught you that?ā€ he shouted.

The man replied calmly, ā€œTalk to God and figurš“†‰e out your problem, but stay out of the publicšŸ€… eye.ā€

Weź¦«iner refused to let it go. He asked why the man felt superior to him.

ā€œIt has nothing to do with bšŸ€…eing superior,ā€ the heckler replied.

ā€œHowā™› do you have the authority to judge me then?ā€ Weiner asked.

Eager to get in the last vešŸŒžrbal blow, the man told Weiner to ā€œthink about his wifeā€ and claimed Weiner had never done anything to help the community.

ā€œI fought very hard for this communiā™ty and deliveredź¦› more than you will in your entire life,ā€ Weiner screamed back.

ā€œYou deliver for yšŸ…˜ourself,ā€ the mź§ƒan sniffed before Weiner departed.

Afterward, Weiner, who was celebrating his 49th birthday, tweeted: ā€œIn defense of me, tšŸŽhe guy waited til I took a bite of honey cake to take aš’ run at me.ā€

Weiner is polling near the bottom of the Democratic mayoral-primary pack since admitting to online relationshipšŸ’Ÿs with atįƒ¦ least three women since resigning from Congress in 2011 over an initial sextĀ­ing scandal.

Before tšŸ·he bakery brawl, Weiner went on Fox 5ā€™s ā€œGood Day New Yorkā€ and auditioned for his dream job ā€” being a weatherman!

ā€œIā€™ve always had thišŸ…s dream of doing weather and sports on your show,ā€ he sšŸ§øaid.
