Tensions boiled over between Anthony Weiner and the rival who has been most critical of his sexting scandal, Republican George McDonald, as the two got in a heated confrontation before a candidates forum Tuesday morning.
The dustup culminated in Weiner calling his 69-year-old opponent "grandpa" - at a forum on senior issues hosted by the AARP.
McDonald got angry after Weiner approached to greet him and touched his chest. "I said keep you hands to yourself. Don't put your hands on me ever again," McDonald said in the confrontation caught on camera by New York 1
"What's going to happen if I do?" Weiner taunted in response. "You have anger issues."
"I don't have any anger issues," the Republican replied.
"Yes you do, grandpa," snapped Weiner.
The pair have had bad blood since at least last week, when McDonald called Weiner a “self-pleasuring freak” at a Queens forum.
MacDonald's a jerk and he does have anger issues.
Guess having money makes him think he can say whatever he wants and get away with it.
Of course it probably didn't help Weiner with the AARP constituency when he dismissed MacDonald as "grandpa."
Unbelievable.
I can't remember any other campaign that was this crazy.
Really ground-breaking, this one.
You got that right RBE. This campaign is nuts.

It really is hilarious. That Weiner thought it was cool to insult the guy's age at an AARP forum really shows how little he can control himself. I mean, if there's any place where you don't want to insult a guy over his age...
