As if the sexting scandal isn't enough, now embattled NYC mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner gets into a shouting match with a potential voter. Stay classy.

NYCElects reports that Weiner fired back at an Orthodox Jewish man who called Mr. Weiner a “scumbag” as he was leaving a Boro Park bakery, the mayoral hopeful furiously spun around to confront the voter.

“Very nice, very nice, in front of kids. That’s a charming guy right there,” Mr. Weiner said during one of several campaign stops on a visit to the neighborhood on the eve of the Jewish New Year.



“You are disgusting, disgusting,” the man, Saul Kessler, replied, referencing the sexting scandal that forced Mr. Weiner to resign from Congress and continues to engulf his campaign.

But Mr. Weiner, sagging in the polls as Election Day rapidly approaches, was not interested in brushing aside Mr. Kessler.

“Yeah, it takes one to know one, jackass,” Mr. Weiner shot back from the bakery’s doorway. “What’s that? What’s that? You wait until I walk out to say anything, that’s courage, that’s courage!”

Against the wishes of his aides, Mr. Weiner waded back into the packed bakery to confront Mr. Kessler, who later identified himself as a real estate manager from Far Rockaway.

“You have the nerve to walk around in public … ” Mr. Kessler began.

Mr. Kessler said he wasn’t judging Mr. Weiner, but simply calling his past behavior “deviant.” “Go home, go home and get a job like everyone else,” he grumbled.

According to USA Today, Weiner has 7% support in the Democratic primary for mayor, according to the latest Quinnipiac Poll, and is far behind front-runner Bill de Blasio, the city's public advocate, who has 43%.

The primary is next Tuesday, Sept. 10, and it is debatable if even Viagra can raise his position in the polls.
