Anthony Weiner reportedly dissed the Clintons — his wife’s employers who have held him at a distance for years — on Monday night, as he brushed off a question about whether he would be responsive to a request from them to get out of the New York City mayor’s race.
The question came during Weiner’s appearance at a mayoral forum in the Bronx, according to reports on Twitter from New York Daily News reporter Erin Durkin.
“I am not terribly interested in what people who are not voters in the city of New York have to say,” Weiner said when asked what he would say if the Clintons asked him to drop out, according to Durkin.
A Weiner spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to an email, nor did a Clinton spokesman.

The Clintons have not asked Weiner to drop out. But associates have made clear they are displeased with the latest humiliation he has caused his wife.
