Congressman Anthony Weiner says he will not step down.
-- a new poll says 56%.
Of his constituents do indeed want him to stay don't want -- to step down.
-- talk ran against mr.
wheat up in that district last full.
He joins us now to talk to welcome the program -- or are you now 56 the sense of the people in that district number nine.
Suggested I wanted to resign can explain.
Absolutely not I'm somewhat suspicious of who commissioned the poll.
Well it was Garrett -- -- organize suggested that although very -- -- organization who paid them to do it does that make a difference I would think.
How would that make a difference it depends who they ultimately -- -- isn't.
In polls -- the wording of the poll.
An emphasis on the geographic areas a lot of things that enter into this I would be suspicious -- number anecdotally that's not.
The numbers that I am I would be.
Give me a sense of the constituency and it's politics that the rough political feeling of the of the district because I think Antony -- is way out -- the left.
I always these hard left -- Democrat on the left of the party.
This fact is that representative.
Of the nature of the district no in early in the end my campaign we get a report on issues.
60% of the people we suggest that they would.
Vote for me or or agree with money positions -- more conservative.
Except -- such socially economically them.
He can -- 60% of the vote and wonderful strong democratic machine.
Is it because you identified as a Republican and regardless of the net exports for the August -- of that is that.
Not death but if you -- help and so you see is -- gonna resign what effect.
I think not.
I agree I think yeah I think no matter what happens she tries to hang him.
And we have another dip at this from the ethics committee goes through this again.
-- we -- It's an issue in this picture.
-- -- I think will be prudent to sound if it if this if he's not redistrict and out and I know that is a possibility -- but -- the districts face the same.
And come eighteen months from now mr.
-- -- stands again.
Will you run against him again.
Perhaps.
What we -- declare on this program and I know because there are some really good.
Candidates.
Younger.
Even brighter maybe yeah.
It's -- that that I would do agree on 40% of the vote messed up 41% of the vote last time around yes part of that is the strength of my personality the other is we use weakness.
I'm not sure how that -- this is the question -- how do you have as an opponent of of.
Of winners say to people who are saying is used to run again that.
More more morally.
He's wrong and then suggest that if you even like this guy that somehow you're wrong and how do you how do you.
That's a tight rope distress especially in New York where you know there's always this contrary -- attitude against the norms anyway.
I.
I think we.
We've really avoid the morality of this talk about the issues of -- credibility or dignity of the house and just the about creeping this of what he did.
Moral pronouncements.
Or death I think the Republicans.
Should have learned that lesson here with Clinton.
The issue was perjury obstruction of justice -- not a sexual but the bill O.
Yes that's what they emphasize and and that's -- We believe it was that the -- creek -- of what he did -- got might make the highlight real that I -- about.
50 thanks for joining us that we just.
