Anthony Weiner Resigns & Heckled!!!
Those calling for Congressman Anthony Weiner‘s resignation got just what they wanted, but it’s what happened during his speech that turned this press conference into a media circus!
“I’m here again today to apologize for the mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused,” said the embattled lawmaker, who had become embroiled in an online sexual controversy. “Today I am announcing my resignation from Congress.”
That was the announcement made by the disgraced politician. The cheers were immediate, however ‘kicking a man while he’s down’, heckler’s berated Weiner when one yelled “Bye Bye pervert!” followed by “Are you more than 7 inches?”
The man who heckled Weiner Benjy Bronk — a writer for the Howard Stern Show.
Bronk was also at the news conference where Weiner admitted that he had sent the crotch photo to his Twitter followers. Bronk shouted the question “Were you fully erect?” as Weiner finished speaking. He was also caught waving on tv during the event.
Benjy Bronk has worked for the Howard Stern radio show for 14 years and has evolved from a support member to an on-air cast member.
There’s no way that Anthony Weiner conducted himself as a credible official who held office, however you sympathized with him as he was taunted with jeers from classless citizens. Wife Huma Abedin wasn’t present during the conference which leaves a big question mark on the marriage.
However with all that this man has been through, no one should get that level of disrespect.

I agree with you. Plus seeing who the source was, as you said ‘no business’ calling anyone out. Ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black!

I would say that, by his actions – especially those after he got caught, Weiner deserved whatever disrespect that he got. Frankly, he deserved worse than he got from the Liberals since he destroyed his usefulness to their agenda with failings.
On the other hand, the heckler in question was a writer for the Howard Sterns Show and, due to that, had no business calling anyone this side of Dalmner a pervert.
