Andrew Breitbart Unexpectedly Crashes the Podium Minutes Before Rep. Weiner’s Admission

Andrew Breitbart made a surprise appearance at Rep. Anthony Weiner’s highly-anticipated press conference. Just before Weiner took the stage to take responsibility for sending lewd images and messages to a number of women, reporters allegedly encouraged Breitbart to hop on stage. He complied and instantly began fielding questions from reporters.

Bretibart discussed how he obtained photos of Weiner and vehemently defended their release. He said, “I’ve seen a lot of Congressman Weiner’s body. He’s in very good shape.” Below, you can watch video of Breitbart’s podium-snatch:

Following the spectacle, Breitbart called into FOX News to explain why he spoke out:

      Have Weiner-boy resign? Not on your life, folks!

      Can you honestly envision anybody better to serve as the face of the National Socialist Democrat American Party (NSDAP, used to be “Democrat”) for the next eight or ten years?

      I want Weiner-boy up there and in front of the people of these United States until his Viagra wears off.

    Weiner is just another skinny necked, limp wristed, closet homosexual, perverted, right handed wrangler, anal ease costomer, hook nose, errogant, over paid, joy boy, democratic, obummer loving, stupid, no tallent, no ability, do nothing, typical politician and should be selling knock off hand bags at a flea market in Florida.

And then they go away to some other blog and do the same thing. Personally, I think they are Ron Paul supporters – they do that kind of stuff all the time. I have read “Fed Up”, I have researched Perry – I have not agreed with every decision he has made, and I didn’t agree with every decision that Reagan made (signing the no fault divorce in Calif). Perry is going to run for president and win. I think that much of him. These drive byers have nothing to come back with other than what they have heard from someone else.

This kind of behavior is a badge of honor for Progressives/Democrats, their colleagues, and their constiuents.

      And of course there there’s John Ensign, a family values guy, who had an affair with one his employees and wife of another employee and friend. Then tried to pay them off for their silence. Didn’t work out. And there’s the right wing darling Newt, who was having an affair while his wife was dying of cancer, and calling out for Clinton to be impeached for getting a bj. And there’s Ted Haggard who enjoyed snooting and romping with a paid male escort.

Would like to know what you think. And no I’m not being sarcastic as I have found myself to be part of the problem and would like to correct it.

      One party accuses the other of an offense while they knowingly overlook their parties same offenses.

      The party vs. party argument continues while politicians amass power behind closed doors.

      One party charge opposing party with list of “name the offense,” other party disregards due to their own list of offenses and vice versa, accomplishing nothing.

      So I take it you don’t think Willy should have been impeached?

      Even though you admit he’s an idiot, (Really now, can’t you come up with a something a bit more apropos than Idiot?), it still sounds like you are trying to justify his bad behavior by pointing out the foibles of others.

      The vast majority of politicians on both sides are worthless.
      I pretty much believe that anyone who truly desires a position of high power, should not have that position. We need term limits. 8 years max for any office, minimal pay, and no lifetime pensions.

      The only person I have endorsed on here for President is Lt. Colonel Allen West.
      I believe him to be one of the few honorable men or women in Washington. I hope he can be persuaded to run.

      It would be an insult to the memory of those D-Day heroes to include them in a story like this. Weiner is worthless trash compared to the brave men of WWII. My Dad landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day+1, and I know what he would have said about Weiner. They sure didn’t risk their lives (or actually give their lives) for a slug like him.

      @spekchaser,
      that is what the tea party is about.
      it is NOT about partisan politics.
      We are sick and tired of the corruption and power-lust in DC.
      In a government with ONLY the powers enumerated in the constitution, there is very little for Congress to do in times of peace. VERY LITTLE POWER FOR THEM TO SEEK. That is the key!
      In a government with unlimited power, the power-lust seekers on both sides will always be the ones fighting tooth and nail to attain/keep office (POWER).
      When congress/senate can do little more than fund the military and protect our borders, and protect our GOD-GIVEN rights what is there for them to do? Fight over which new jets get built? Fight over whether flag burning is free speech? The budget would be balanced, there would be no deficit. We would have gold-backed currency. We would be the example for the world, instead of re-modeling the USA to be LIKE the rest of the world.
      We would elect HONEST men/women. With little power the laws would be clear and brief – no “need for a law degree” – ANY MAN/WOMAN could truly serve well – IF HE/SHE were an honest person.
      When the govt has control over your money, they have complete control over you. When they have control of your health, they have complete control over you. YOU ARE NO LONGER “FREE”.
      That is what our founding fathers fought & died for.
      Absolute power corrupts… ABSOLUTELY.

      Breitbart was surrounded by reporters. When they couldn’t hear him, someone told him to use the mike on the stage. I love Andrew and believe he is ethical going after stories our MSM ignore. As for the weiner, this man has no ethics, looks for admiration (even on internet), is only contrite for getting caught, does not believe he’s guilty of anything except the shame of getting exposed (oops) for his sickness. All this seems to be done on company time and company equipment (our gov). This cheap shot of arrogance needs to resign.
