Bill and Hillary Clinton are angry with New York mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner and his campaign to compare his Internet sex scandals to the Clintons' notorious White House story.
A top state Democrat said that the Clintons are upset with the comparisons that the Weiners seem to be encouraging, which is Huma is 'standing by her man' the way Hillary did with Bill, which is not what she did.
According to the New York Post, Weiner and his campaign aides have referred to the Clintons as they privately seek to convince Democrats that voters can back Weiner, despite his online sexual antics.
The Democrats had supported then-President Bill Clinton in the face of repeated allegations of marital betrayals.
The source said that the Clintons are pissed off that Weiner's campaign is saying that his wife Huma is just like Hillary.
It added that how dare they compare Huma with Hillary? Hillary was the First Lady, a senator and secretary of state.
