Anthony Weiner wasn't the only New York elected official in Puerto Rico campaigning for Hillary Clinton--Eric Gioia was there, too.
A spokesperson said, "Eric believes deeply in Hillary; he's known her since he worked in the White House, so whenever she needs support he'll be there."

A little reported jewel occurred at Saturday’s ‘Democratic Party Rules Committee Hearing.’
DONNA BRAZILE, one of the DEMS most politcally experienced African-American women, with impeccible academic credentials, and a history of fighting for VOTING RIGHTS & INTEGRUTY (she is the Chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Voting Rights Institute) made a chastizing rebuttal to HARLD ICKES, Hillary’s representative and strategist.
DONNA BRAZILE POINTEDLY TOLD HARLD ICKES THAT “TRYING TO CHANGE THE RULES IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME OR AT THE END IS COMMONLY CALLED ‘CHEATING.’”
Donna Brazile 'hit the nail' on Harold Ickes head and a stake through Hillary's heart. For all intents and purposes, Donna Brazile told Hillary, Bill and the rest of the Hillary Brigade, on national TV, that they were “cheats.” HILLARY’S CASE WAS STONE-DEAD AT THAT POINT.
WHEN WILL HILLARY SUPPORTERS LOOK HONESTLY & CRITICALLY AT HILLARY?

While Eric Gioia's busy wasting time with a divisive, egomaniacal presidential-candidate-has-been, his very own constituents have long been forsaken. For years, the Dutch Kills section (of Long Island City) has begged for his help, but to no avail. Dutch Kills is being decimated and endangered by out-of-control development and zoning problems, yet Gioia has habitually ignored his community's pleas for help (unless a camera or microphone was involved). Eric Gioia's fiddling with loyalties to washed-up politicians, while his own community burns. Both Eric and Hillary are prime examples of elected officials who are more interested in serving their own career aspirations, rather than the public they promised to serve. They should both be ashamed of themselves.
Eric Gioia is a Democratic bright light and it is totally appropriate he assist HRC during what will most assuredly be her LAST major Campaign. Ditto, Anthony Weiner. Their constituents would have been well served had HRC managed to win the Nomination. Now that she won't, and remains a Senator for 4 more years -- loyalty should serve LIC, etc.
Now, New York needs to PIVOT and beat John McCain. Eric and Anthony will help lead that local effort -- and have futures SERVING ALL NEW YORKERS in the years to come -- long after HRC has moved on.
Eric Gioia is a do nothing self-aggrandizing pol who shows up on when and for a camera or to do fundraising. Anyone who watches at City Hall sees Gioia show up to vote or get marked present and leave. Probably went to PR for a fund raiser.
