Despite being jailed for a sex scandal involving minors, former Congressman and New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner said Friday that he could still do better than his Democratic colleagues did in the 2024 election.

During the ABC's "The View", Weiner explained that he tried to return to politics by running for the New York City Council because he believed that despite his luggage, he was a better politician than the current Democratic figure.

He also mocked former Vice President Kamala Harris for ruining her 2024 presidential campaign at the same show.

“By the way, sitting here when Kamala Harris blows up the campaign?” he asked as he sat down between four co-hosts.

"Is this the place?" Weiner asked, motioning for his chair. “I wish I didn’t have the same fate.”

Harris told "the view last year" that when asked what she would do something different than then President Biden, "there was no idea." This moment is widely seen as a turning point that led to the downfall of the campaign.

Later in the interview, Weiner hit Harris again. He responded to the advice of co-host Joy Behar that even if men like Presidents Weiner and Presidents Donald Trump have a problematic past, women like the former vice president still cannot reach the highest position.

Although aspiring council members acknowledge that female politicians are often subject to severe judgment, he insists that Harris' response to last year's "view" "softball" problem was clearly wrong.

"The question is, the answer is a little easy, because there are some Kamala Harris - and I jokingly mention the answer she gave on this show: ''Is there anything else you'll do?" That's the softest softball - every politician dreams of solving this problem. Weiner replied. “You still have to be a good candidate. ”

Harris did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News numbers.

Weiner left Congress in 2011 after a married then-Senior Legislator leaked on one of his social media accounts. In the following years, additional sexual scandals reached the FBI investigation, resulting in Weiner being jailed for 21 months and registered as a sex offender after sending sexually explicit images to minors.

After digging Harris' dig at the top of the department, Behar pressed Weiner because he thought he could take into account his scandal plaguing background and therefore he thought he could reintegrate into politics. The aspiring city councillor said it was because he thought he was better than many current Democratic lawmakers.

"I think what I said at the time was that I couldn't imagine a chance that anyone would want me back, or that I wanted to go back to that point again," he replied. "But when I woke up in November 24 and saw the election results, but who won the game, I looked around New York City and saw how many Democrats even voted. I started to say to myself, 'There's a serious mistake here.'"

Weiner said too many Democratic candidates are in a “friction-free” campaign and are playing too safe. He told the co-host that he felt forced to go back to politics because his contemporaries did not answer the public's "their call for change."

He added that his past was not “sufficient reason…don’t get off the couch and try it.”

Co-host Ana Navarro inflicts on him a specific scandal, asking, “Why should New Yorkers give you a chance to make a political comeback?”

He replied: "I'm doing a lot of things that politicians do in my position - ignoring this problem, pretending it didn't happen, blaming others. I said, yes, yes, I did these things. I'm recovering. I'm trying to make my life better.

Weiner added: “Look, all I can be is who I am now, and that brings me into this space.”
