Anthony Weiner is at it again!
We all may remember Weiner as the man who tearfully resigned from congress after he was caught “sexting” with a woman who was not his wife. Since then, Weiner disappeared from public life and went into hiding, until he recently announced he is a candidate for Mayor of New York City.
Believing that he learned a valuable lesson and is done with his perverted ways, NYC voters forgave Weiner and made him the front-runner to win the mayoral race. But yesterday, Weiner threw a monkey wrench into the mix that could change everything.
During a press conference and with his wife by his side, Weiner admitted that his sexting didn’t necessarily end after his congressional resignation. In fact, Weiner said he continued sexting with various women while his wife was pregnant with their first child, while they were going through marriage counseling and as recently as last summer!
Weiner obviously made the announcement to get ahead of the story so that no one else in the mayoral race could beat him to it. Mrs. Weiner (Huma Abedin) also spoke to the press, saying “I have forgiven him, I believe in him and as I have said from the beginning we are moving forward.”
According to Weiner, the sexting “is entirely behind me now.” He also said he is in the mayoral race for the long haul, will not drop out and hopes voters will forgive him. Hmmm…
So, the question remains: Are Anthony Weiner’s sexual improprieties enough to sideline him from being Mayor of New York, or are they merely a personal matter between him and his wife that should not have a bearing on his politics?
