Rep. Weiner Admits He Sent Lewd Twitter Photo, Engaged in Explicit Conversations

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) admitted during a press conference Monday afternoon that he did send a lewd photo of himself to a woman via Twitter. He also admitted he engaged in inappropriate conversations with several women over three years via online mediums and phone calls. Some of those conversations, he said, took place since he’s been married.
(Click here for a transcript of Weiner’s remarks.)
According to Weiner, who apologized, he lied to the media as well as others about the photos and nature of his relationships. He previously stated he was “hacked” when then photo came out May 27. In addition to lying to the media, he said his staff was just fully made aware of the situation this afternoon.
At the late-afternoon news conference in New York, Weiner called the initial underpants photo a joke and a “hugely regrettable mistake.”
“I haven’t told the truth and have done things I deeply regret,” he said. “I brought pain to people I care about.”
He later said: “This was a very dumb thing to do.”
While he did admit to the photos and interactions — most of which started via Facebook — he said he never met any of the women in person.
The admission comes as more pictures emerged today of a shirtless man resembling weiner — pictures sent to a woman via a Yahoo! mail account. Those pictures, Weiner now says, were of him.
During the course of the press conference, the normally-cocky Weiner was contrite and emotional. His voice cracked numerous times and he appeared to cry.
The photo showing Weiner shirtless was reminiscent of a photo of former Rep. Chris Lee, a New York Republican who resigned from office earlier this year after a shirtless photo he sent a woman on Craig’s List became public.
Weiner, 46, married Hillary Rodham Clinton aide Huma Abedin last July, with former President Bill Clinton officiating. Before that, Weiner had been known as one of New York’s most eligible bachelors.
Despite apologizing, Weiner said he will not resign since his actions did not violate House rules. He added that he and his wife have no plans on splitting up.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 4:53pmI have been praying for him ever since I first saw him on Fox a few months ago – hadn’t heard of him before. I think it was when he was bawling Megyn Kelly out. Very easy to see he had some “problems” – so yes, no joke – I have been praying for him & for God to do whatever to “bring him around” – back to Him. I know Jesus loves him and wants him saved (he’s Jewish) – I accept his apology but he should still face the consequences of his actions and resign. The same goes for ministers, etc. – they need to resign if they commit these things – but yes, forgiven. But my guess is the only reason he came forward was bc Andrew Breitbart had exposed him and had proof and he knew it. It’s the same old story, over and over again.

The people in his district will decide and pressure will be used, I think it would be best to resign, but his punishment has just begun.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 5:02pmI have nothing to forgive him for. He did nothing to me, and he is not my representative. The problem I have is that he did not admit his guilt initially. He stood up and lied about everything until he could not get away with it any more. If his account was hacked, why didn’t he have it investigated. The questions kept coming and he could not answer them. He had no choice to apologize. I am not angry with him, I just don’t believe he is sorry. I believe he got caught and had no other way out, but to “task full responsibility.”

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 5:08pmNo respectable congressman will walk within 50 yards of this guy, going forward.
He is now — officially — a radioactive Weiner, and will be shunned by all, so long as he remains in office.
New Yorkers will not mind, though. Unlike true Southerners, they see things through a “Progressive” lens. To them, he will probably become some sort of underwear-freedom folk hero.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 5:26pmPeople always speak of politicians in terms of their intelligence, when character is all that really matters. I do not need Einstein as my Rep, Senator or Pres, but I do want someone who is decent and honorable. Running a country is not rocket science, give me someone who is smart enough to say “no”, with conviction.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 5:31pmThis is the damned democrat MOA. They lie lie lie and when they get caught, they give a tearful apology that speaks of hurting the ones that mean the most to them. They refuse to do what is right and leave the post they have defiled.
The media, I am most certain, will not admonish him but rather cast him in such a human light as to make him seem almost godly. “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” He will be revered in the democrat party and with his constituents. Anyone who would vote for such a pencil necked punk in the first place, would defend him to the end. He is a TURD.

This kind of behavior is a badge of honor for Progressives/Democrats, their colleagues, and their constiuents. Progressives find infidelity and criminal acts endearing, and above suspect, unless of course, one is a Conservative.

‘Scuse me, Weiner (he doesn’t deserve a title – not even “Mr.”) ‘Scuse me, Weiner, but “RESPONSIBILITY” includes accepting the ramifications of ones actions. You are only accepting full “BLAME”, while REFUSING the RESPONSIBILITY (which would mean resigning). There is a HUGE difference in BLAME and ACCOUNTABILITY or RESPONSIBILITY.
How does that saying go? “What is the RESPONSIBLE thing to do”?
Fess up but refuse to let your own actions cause you any grief?
YEP! He will be repeating this, folks.
This is not “A” mistake, as he put it REPEATEDLY in his speech. This is THREE YEARS of ongoing mis-conduct (=mis-demeanor) with at least SIX WOMEN. This is a CLEAR PATTERN of behavior – a clear LACK OF JUDGEMENT – “stupid” I think were his own words.
Do we REALLY want stupid people who lack sound judgement running this country???
There is a reason the military has severe punishment for extra-marital affairs. There is a reason the military refused gays from enlisting. These were things that could be used against you by those who would blackmail you.
