this interview is being called one of the most awkward interviews of all time
by multiple outlets this is so lawrence O'Donnell
and Anthony Weiner it was it's so bad
I couldn't help but sharing it with you I could get out because it goes on and
on for about 15 minutes
but let's listen to someone it I have
a ok just really just one basic question for you I think a lot of people have
wondered about for a for different reasons
over the course the campaign for me it just comes down to this which is
what is wrong with you
I don't send a question what is wrong with me that I care so much about the
issues I fight for every day that I have my entire career
call no what I mean is this
what is wrong with you that you cannot seem to imagine a life
without elective office that's ridiculous
however because I can I I hear you saying that it because I have things my
personal life that are embarrassing I should run for office
okay that's that's a fair position had some yummy Claire no I'm not going out
there who are and so on so what's the likelihood of America 30 0
I'm gonna be very clear to you now I have never wants
criticized you in any way for anything involving
your texting I think your photography
is just perfectly the standard American photography that's floating around the
internet now I don't have
any I've never said anything about that what I find strange
about your campaign is what seems to be
your absolute desperate need for elective office and what seems to be
your inability to live
outside a bit what did you do for example with your time
away from elective office did you find any problem
anywhere in the world that you thought I think I'd like to apply myself to that
and try to help some people who might need my help
you didn't do that you just set yourself up for running for elective office
again okay a wrong button I'd always are questioning why I tell you we help you
out with
Anthony I think there is something why don't you just said that and he said
that he and what does it mean anywhere today
i'm looking at your life I'm with my admiration lip has pursued
you are relentless about some about certain things in your life
I can took time off from government I took time off from doing tonight if you
don't like it I did ask you didn't hear a lobbyist and then I was not just for
you
yeah he's not joking on to you care that much are you made your mind you care
that's not true
come on I know the racket affects officials honest I don't care what
you're saying to you want your YouTube here he was shot is something for no
money
why didn't you do something for no money try to go out there and do something you
don't like the way I slept so much money
so let's make that you're just doing some good starts anywhere in the law and
let me know it's you know where you are you didn't want money chillaxed buddy
just dial it down a second so you could take me is that
I have to be in public life but wait a minute when you take time off a public
place here's a checklist of things we want to do
I devoted that time to making some money because I had to support my family and
not being in public life
and now I'm back running for mayor okay yes we've established those facts what
news are you breaking here
what I'm trying to get out Anthony is what drives you
okay tell her she's not just asked me that question his hands with us jobs
your person to ask me that question Anthony
I mean it from a psychiatric left no I don't care what I don't believe me just
like yeah just questions I don't have much choice only when it was released
doing everything you are being driven by some kind of demons and somewhat fragile
exchange
and always three way ask me a question or you have me on a riding with a split
screen
this can't be good TV for anybody all right you know one another we got about
twenty seconds
I know here's I'd like to tell you okay yesterday
yesterday I'd like you to stay if you well
will continue this online and you continue I get all right now I know he
watches the show we think so you can say whatever you want to modify dodi
yes it's been it's been it's been great doing a split screen harangue with you
are in ski at some point you ever want me to respond to you let me know
the question is Anthony what is wrong with you that so I want to respond
okay I heard the question I said what what you me because I I guess I really
care but if you are right it will find out if Anthony Weiner sticks around just
give him some time to hang in there you'll get the last word
good morning and goodnight Lauren yeah
you know again I I've said this so many times I'm getting tired hear myself talk
I'm not a fan of Anthony Weiner I wouldn't fall for him
Bill de Blasio was much more progressive and
he doesn't come with the baggage yes Anthony Weiner has no chance of winning
but I didn't know was possible for somebody
to be so bad at interviewing
that I actually a kinda liked Weiner more in the interview
