Anthony Weiner was once known as a hard-working member of the House of Representatives and the NY City Council, he ended up being known for sexting with underage girls.
“I am not going to be on the ballot anytime,” Weiner, 56, told NBC New York’s Andrew Siff.
The Post exclusively reported last month that the former Democratic pol had re-emerged as the CEO of a company that makes countertops out of broken glass.
Weiner was one time a favorite to eventually become Mayor of NYC.
“I’m an embodiment of the idea that people sometimes redefine themselves,” he said.
“We don’t want to be judged by our worst moments,” Weiner added. “We want to be judged by whether we get up from those worst moments.
Weiner resigned from congress in 20111 after the sexting scandal exploded. His marriage to Hillary Clinton campaign assistant Huma Mahmood Abedin fell apart rapidly, in 2017 he went to jail. In February of 2019, he was released from prison.
Anthony Weiner’s laptop has been the subject of many investigative reports and conspiracy theories. At one point it was believed that an actual snuff film featuring Hillary Clinton was found on the now infamous laptop.
We can look back at the numerous sexual scandals involving Anthony Weiner with amazement.
May 27, 2011, Weiner used his public Twitter account to send a link to a woman who was following him on Twitter. The link contained a sexually explicit photograph of himself. After an explicit photo was leaked through the Twitter account of a listener of The Opie & Anthony Show, Weiner announced on June 16, 2011, that he would resign from Congress.
September 2016, claims were published that Weiner had engaged in sexting with a 15-year-old girl from North Carolina, and devices owned by Weiner were seized as part of an investigation into this incident. The report prompted a criminal investigation and Weiner’s laptop was seized. Emails that were pertinent to the Hillary Clinton email controversy were discovered on the laptop; this prompted FBI Director James Comey to reopen that investigation 11 days before the 2016 US presidential election. Hillary Clinton has cited Comey’s decision as the reason why she lost the election.
The snuff film rumor began after an anonymous member of the NYPD claimed to see the images of Hillary Clinton, killing an infant on Weiner’s laptop. None of this was ever confirmed.
