UFT won’t endorse ‘class clown’ Weiner

Anthony Weiner shouldn’t count on a mayoral endorsement from the city’s powerful teachers union.

The shamed former congressman’s possible mayoral bid was treated “as a joke” by United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew at a union breakfast meeting yesterday in Washington, sources told The Post.

Mulgrew took a straw poll of mayoral candidates at the event, which was attended by several hundred UFT delegates, two sources said.

“He started out with Mr. Weiner,” said one source who was at the meeting. “His first comment was, ‘Is anyone here going to vote for Anthony Weiner?’ Nobody, or very few people, responded.

“It was treated as a joke.”

“I don’t think anybody took it seriously,” said a second source.

The big winners in the informal straw vote were Bill Thompson and John Liu.

One of the sources who spoke to The Post is a self-described Weiner “sympathizer” but said he wouldn’t vote for the pol after his career-imploding sexting scandal with six women.

Mulgrew declined to discuss what he had said about Weiner.

“My private meetings with my membership are my private meetings,” he said.

“But in terms of our process . . . we are moving forward where we’ll have our own debate at the [UFT] Delegate Assembly [on April 17] in terms of if the union should endorse in the primary process.”
