Former Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D) is taking a lot of heat as he considers a primary challenge against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), especially after a New York Times interview in which he said, among other things, that he had only visited the outer boroughs of New York City by helicopter.
It wasn’t long before Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), always good for a dig at political opponents, weighed in.
“If he thinks that its an appealing argument to position yourself as being somebody who will stand up to Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer, well I don’t think we need another Joe Lieberman,” Weiner told Politico.
“Maybe when his helicopter lands in Queens next I can ask him,” he said.
