Weiner snippy at sext quiz

Anthony Weiner last night showed he’s ready to fight back against anyone who dares bring up his sexting exploits — lashing out at fellow Democrats during a Brooklyn candidates event.

His blasts came at the New Kings Democrats mayoral candidate screening, when District Leader Chris Owens told the disgraced ex-congressman, “I have a three-word question: How dare you?”

“I am outraged and disgusted by you,” Owens went on. “Both by what you did and by the fact that you have the arrogance to run for mayor.

“I want to understand how you explain to us how you used a public facility to tweet offensive material to . . . minors you did not know, you then lied about it . . . and now you come back.”

Weiner didn’t take the attack lying down.

“I appreciate the question Chris,” Weiner said. “And I know some people may feel that way.

“I think it might be influenced in part . . . [because] I supported Yvette Clarke over you when you ran for Congress [in 2006.]”

Even after the crowd booed, Weiner persisted, saying, “I apologize to you, but now people have to decide whether or not that disqualifies me.

“Frankly, everyone wasn’t going to vote for me whether I did that or not.”

Weiner kept up the heat after a question from a Bill deBlasio supporter, who asked him about losing the public’s trust due to the scandal, and then pointedly demanded to know how the candidate could possibly oversee a school system that would fire teachers for conduct like his own.

Weiner testily shot back, “If you believe that my personal failings disqualify me, then don’t vote for me. I’m going to win this election and I’m going to govern this city really well. You’re supporting another candidate — who’s not going to win.”
