(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Disgraced former Democrat congressman Anthony Weiner recently appeared on the entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David’s increasingly popular podcast, where he was asked a series of questions about his one-time political ally, Hillary Clinton—including why so many of her associates seem to die under mysterious circumstances.
Weiner—who pleaded guilty in 2017 of sexting with a 15-year-old, and whose estranged wife, Huma Abedin, served as Clinton’s aid for decades—didn’t appreciate this line of questioning.
“You shouldn’t be listing these things because it gives oxygen to it,” Weiner said when Bet-David mentioned conspiracy theories such as Pizzagate.
But Bet-David was particularly interested in the so-called “Clinton kill list.” When he referenced an article about 71 Clinton associates who’ve died under purportedly mysterious circumstances, Weiner voiced his displeasure.
Headline USA has not reviewed all the names listed on the article cited by Bet-David.
Some of the more prominent names include millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, former DNC staffer Seth Rich and alleged cocaine smuggler Barry Seal. Epstein is believed to have run a sexual blackmail operation sanctioned by Western intelligence agencies, while Rich is thought by some as having leaked DNC emails showing Clinton corruption.
Seal, for his part, is the pilot who trained Nicaraguan rebels and allegedly smuggled cocaine through Mena, Arkansas in the 1980s, when Bill Clinton governed that state. Seal’s story has since been made into a movie starring Tom Cruise.
But rather than discuss any one specific case, Weiner accused Bet-David of being a bully and spreading conspiracy theories.
“I am infuriated by people who drag other people’s names, who are powerless,” he said, referring to the 71 dead Clinton associates. “People who do that are bullies, and I don’t appreciate bullies.”
“The fact you’re getting nervous is an answer. Your reaction is an answer,” Bet-David said in response to Weiner’s criticism.
Despite the heated argument between Bet-David and Weiner, the podcast host ended by paying the former congressman a compliment for his wiliness to engage in the debate.
“You got more brass than a lot of people running for office, who will not have conversations like this. You did it,” he said. “We don’t have to agree with everything.”
