Anthony Weiner: “I would ask the American people to listen to the following exchange: Will the gentleman from New Jersey kindly inform…”

On the recordMarch 19, 2010
I would ask the American people to listen to the following exchange: Will the gentleman from New Jersey kindly inform the House the source of the memo that he just read from? That silence that you hear is the gentleman from New Jersey read from a fake memo, a fraudulent memo. He has been zoomed. It wouldn't be the first time, but that is the case. That memo that he just read from has no source. He will not return to the microphone and tell us what it was because he took something that was created by opponents of health care, and there are a lot of them, mostly paid for by the health insurance industry, and came to the rostrum with a fake document.
