Anthony Weiner gets in heated exchange with man in Brooklyn

Eyewitness News

BROOKLYN (WABC) -- Anthony Weiner was taped going one on one with a man after he appeared to call Weiner a 'scumbag' at a Brooklyn bakery.

Weiner was leaving the Weiss Family Bakery in Borough Park, during a campaign stop when the shouting match began.

The man, identified by reporters as Saul Kessler, made it clear to the mayoral candidate that he felt he should drop out of the race. But instead of walking away, Weiner continued a back and forth exchange with Kessler.

In another version of the video that Anthony Weiner released, the man, Kessler, can be heard saying "You're married to an Arab." Weiner is married to Huma Abedein.

Weiner didn't seem particularly upset about that.

Just looked like he was looking for a fight.
