NY1News

Things got heated and personal Tuesday between mayoral candidates Anthony Weiner and George McDonald as they attended a town hall forum at Hunter College.

The event, hosted by AARP, featured 10 of the candidates looking to take City Hall this fall. But before the start, Republican candidate McDonald approached the Democrat and told him to keep his hands off him.

Weiner then told McDonald he had anger issues and called him "grandpa."

McDonald has been the most vocal candidate in attacking Weiner over his sexting scandal, today calling him a glib narcissist.

1. Good grief.

He's at an AARP hosted event and insults someone's age by calling them grampa.

2. McDonald probably thanked him after for giving him free media in the press.

3. McDonald's Either A Complete Fool ( highly likely)....

... or he's being paid by Weiner's campaign to build-up sympathy from DEM primary voters.

Weiner's got nothing much left but McDonald and an incredible and kind of creepy verbal deftness. The man could sell ice to Eskimos.

(Or should I say , indigenous Alaskans.)

5. I would not be surprised if they planned it for the publicity.
