The man who became known for his campaign tagline “The rent is too damn high” officially endorsed Anthony Weiner for New York mayor, he announced via Twitter on Thursday morning.

Jimmy McMillan, who rose to fame during the 2010 New York gubernatorial election, tweeted out a photo of himself with Weiner along with the announcement.

In an interview with the New York Observer’s Politicker, McMillan said Weiner exposed his “freaky-ism in the wrong way.”

“We all are freaky. He just exposed his freaky-ism in the wrong way,” McMillan said. “I think Anthony needs someone like me to tell him, ‘Don’t be afraid to go get help if you need it.

McMillan said he told Weiner not to quit.

“I told him don’t quit,” McMillan said. “We didn’t talk about politics, I just told him clearly, ‘You do not quit. You can’t stand the heat in the kitchen, you shouldn’t have got in this race.’”

McMillan offered that if Weiner needs “another woman” he can provide one for him, and suggested Weiner create a business out of his “Carlos Danger” pseudonym.

“If you need another woman, I can help you get another woman if that’s what you need,” he said. “(Weiner) created a character called ‘Carlos Danger.’ Ooh, that is a marketing bonanza … He can put a hat on a dildo and call himself ‘Carlos Danger.’ Everyone will get it for someone just as a gift. He can make a billion dollars out of that in one month.”
