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).

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.
