WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) – Democratic leaders are now calling on Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign after the New York lawmaker embroiled in a Twitter scandal admitted he had online contact with a Delaware teenager.
National party chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz says Weiner’s behavior is “indefensible” and his role in Congress is “untenable.”
The Florida congresswoman says “this sordid affair has become an unacceptable distraction” for everyone.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California says Weiner “needs help” and he should get some “without the pressures of being a member of Congress.”
UPDATE:
Weiner has now requested a leave of absence to get “treatment.” Read about that, as well as how others have called for his resignation, here.

Posted on June 11, 2011 at 3:01pm“According to Congressman Weiner, his communications with this person were neither explicit nor indecent,” Risa Heller said in a statement.
The fact that this Congressman even choose to communicate with a young person that does not reside in his district, that was not asking political questions for reasons of research of government, but that any casual conversation occurred at all, from a 46 y/o married man to a 17 y/o child is “indecent” -so again we see that Weiner is spinning, and Risa Hellas is simply the person he is using to further this scandal.
Pelosi/Wasser they are to late for calling for a resignation, they are without credibility at this point. By the way where is Harry? I bet a 180 from him is next. Weiner said he has done this for years. Anyone that thinks there were only 6 contacts is quite naive or carrying lemonade for the drinkers of it.
To be continued….thank you Mr. Weiner, you have allowed us to see Pelosi, Wasser, Reid, and the ilk at the Capital for what they are… media driven for guidance, not from any foundation of morals most of us still have and are fighting for. wake up america or our name will be spelled in lower case, rather than AMERICA the strongest nation, among all in the World.

If a Conservative did what Weiner did, I’d want him out, too. And faster.

Because I EXPECT from liberals what Weiner did.

The Democrats are running for the hills from Weiner, and now with Pelosi and the others doing, as you said, a 180 abrupt turn, something has been found out; something that may be devastating and big enough to cast damage on their side of things.
Again I may be majorly offf track here, yet it just has a feeling to it.
