Just What a Democrat Needs? A Weiner Endorsement
With polls set to close in just a few hours in New York's 9th Congressional District, Democrat David Weprin is getting an endorsement from a figure well-known to voters in the area.
But it's one he'd probably just as soon do without.
Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose resignation from Congress earlier this year triggered the special election that Weprin is trying to win, had some words of encouragement for the Democrat, who according to the most recent polling, is it serious risk of losing to Republican Bob Turner.
"I am confident he'd make an excellent congressman," Weiner said of Weprin, after voting earlier today, according to the New York Post.
When asked whether it was his fault if the GOP nets the seat, Weiner responded, "If you made a list of 10 fervent defenders of Democratic ideals, I would be on it." Weiner resigned his seat in June after admitting to sending lewd photos over his Twitter account.
