(CNN) - His campaign may be battling controversies on several fronts, but Anthony Weiner scored the backing of one well-known New Yorker Thursday.

Jimmy McMillan, whose "the rent is too damn high!" rant went viral during his 2010 bid for New York mayor, wrote on Twitter he was throwing his support behind Weiner, adding a photo of the two politicians.

McMillan specified he was supporting Weiner in the Democratic primary – after all, McMillan himself is running for the mayor post under the banner of the "Rent is Too Damn High" party.
