Weiner: I'd Beat Trump Jr. Like 'Rented Mule' In Mayoral Run

NEW YORK (AP) -- A Democratic former congressman who resigned in disgrace amid a sexting scandal says he'd come out of political retirement to thwart a potential New York City mayoral bid by Republican Donald Trump Jr.

The son of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been floated as a possible mayoral candidate after his speech in support of Trump at the Republican National Convention last week in Cleveland.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (WEE'-nur) was asked about his possible candidacy Tuesday. He tells Fox 5 he'd re-enter politics to beat Trump Jr. "like a rented mule."

Weiner says he'd then "turn the keys" back over to Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH'-zee-oh).

1. I would love....

To see that! Weiner has really let his hair down and is just a real straight shooter now. I love it. He's fluid and he really has all the right answers when he's on a panel or even in a one on one interview. I think he's learned his lesson.

8. "Well Anthony Weiner is a stupid loser."

"See when you vote for a Trump, you get the Trump name which is the best name. Nobody has a greater name than I do. It's the best name. It's a symbol of unparalleled excellence.We're going to make America great again. We're going to make New York City great again!"
