In the excerpts, Mr. Weiner also complained about his wife's family, saying that since they were Muslim they never accepted him.

Mr. Weiner is Jewish. His wife is Huma Abedin, a longtime aide of Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Weiner also sounded off on his Republican opponent from the 2010 elections, Bob Turner, calling him "Just another rich businessman trying to buy himself an election...like Bloomberg."

Mr. Turner went on to win Mr. Weiner's congressional seat after his resignation.
