Some political pundits believe Anthony Weiner has a door open in the more socially conservative Orthodox Jewish community, since he’s the only Jew in the race.

However, judging the cross-section of callers who called in to to Assemblyman Dov Hikind�s weekly radio show Saturday night, Mr. Weiner still has some work to do�and not only because of the scandal, Colin Campbell reports.

Ya’akov from Midwood, for example, espoused a conspiracy theory that Mr. Weiner is not technically Jewish because his mother was not. In an interview with Shimon Gifter, his� mother firmly stated that she is.

�Truth being told, halachically Weiner is not Jewish,� the caller asserted. �His mother had a non-valid conversion so he�s not a member of our community, unbeknownst to many people.�

He want on to say Mr. Weiner, who is married to Huma Abedin�a top Hillary Clinton aide, whom Rep. Michele Bachmann and a handful of other conservative Republicans allege has ties to the militant Muslim Brotherhood�would �invite the Muslim Brotherhood into City Hall because � his wife�s brothers and sisters living in Saudi Arabia are all members of the Muslim Brotherhood and Sisterhood. I don�t think we want to see that in this city.�

�I have yet to meet a Jewish person who has adopted the Islamic community to the extent that Weiner has,� George from Manhattan piled on. �That�s not what a Jewish person does.�

Listen to the audio here:

Mr. Hikind did not dispute his guests� comments that night, Campbell notes.

For her part, Tzvi was upset at Mr. Hikind for even discussing Mr. Weiner on his show. �I�m disappointed in the subject that you are talking about: this piece of dirt,� he declared. �Shut him out! He shouldn�t be on the radio and you shouldn�t talk about it � He�s a pervert; he�s not worth even to talk about.�
