Liberal Rep Anthony Weiner (D-NY) Throws Down With Conservative Rep Michele Bachmann (R-MN) & Sean Hannity: ‘Partisan Hack!’

(By Jonathon M. Seidl, The Blaze) - It only took one minute for things to get heated when Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) appeared on Sean Hannity’s show last night. One minute.

Weiner, known for his epic battles with Fox’s Megyn Kelly, appeared alongside Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to debate the federal budget. Things got crazy real quick, and even personal, like when Weiner mocked Bachmann for her recent flubbing of history.

“I had no idea Rep. Weiner was such a reader of fiction,” Bachmann said at one point, referring to the Democrat’s budget numbers. “He‘s a huge fiction reader because that’s all of his numbers.”

Weiner blasted back: “Bachmann, I don’t think you want to go there. I don’t think you want to go there Bachmann. And by the way, for her to make fun of me not knowing fact from fiction is a bit ironic to say the least.”

Hannity and Weiner also traded plenty of barbs.
