Anthony Weiner admits he sent messages to teenage girl but denies wrongdoing

Embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner acknowledged Friday night that he had exchanged online messages with a 17-year-old Delaware girl, but his office insisted his dealings with her were "neither explicit nor indecent."
Weiner's statement came hours after police in New Castle, Del., confirmed they interviewed a high school junior Friday afternoon about her online exchanges with the New York lawmaker. The police visit was first reported by Fox News.
The girl, whose name was not reported because she is a minor, told the network, "I'm doing okay."
Sources close to the girl told Fox she followed Weiner on Twitter after seeing him speak during a school trip to Washington in April. Weiner subsequently followed her and direct-messaged the girl beginning on April 13. It's unclear what the message was regarding.
Weiner's office told the New York Times he had exchanged five messages with the girl. A member of the girl's family told the Times the messages were "harmless" but expressed concern that Weiner had exchanged private messages with a teenager.
Police said they questioned the girl and found no evidence of wrongdoing.
"They were made aware of an alleged contact between Congressman Anthony Weiner and an area teen," said Officer Tracey Duffy, a New Castle County police spokeswoman, told the Associated Press. "The teen has been interviewed and disclosed no information regarding any criminal activity."
On Monday, Weiner confessed to having risqué online dealings with six women who were not his wife and lying about it. During the press conference, he stressed that he had not physically met any of the women. He also said that none were underage "to the best of my knowledge."
On Thursday, Weiner insisted his would not resign from Congress. His wife, Huma Abedin, is reportedly pregnant with the couple's first child.

politicians have power trips that makes them think they are above all of us....they crash and burn....then get a television show after the fires are all out and everyone "forgets" about them...look at Eliot Spitzer....hires a prostitute, resigns as Governor of New York...few years later has a show on CNN

I think he's a dumbass and a pervert. It's one thing that he was talking to women and sending them pics, but a totally different ball game when it comes to him talking to a minor. I don't care how "innocent" he claims it was.

This.

So there was nothing indecent about the exchanges...right??? So why is it a big deal that a PUBLIC political figure actually took the time to interact w/ a young girl who's obviously interested in politics??? Just b/c of the other things he was doing??? Sorry, but I disagree that every contact he has w/ anybody should be scrutinized, especially when it's specifically been said that he did nothing wrong in this instance. Bet he talked to his 15 y/o grocery checkout girl, too...STRING HIM UP!!!

Weinergate is my favorite name for a scandal

 

[pjbleek]

just got this in an email from CNN:
The head of the Democratic National Committee is calling for the resignation of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who has been under fire after admitting to inappropriate communications with women online.


"It is with great disappointment that I call on Representative Anthony Weiner to resign," DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement Saturday. "The behavior he has exhibited is indefensible and Representative Weiner's continued service in Congress is untenable.


"This sordid affair has become an unacceptable distraction for Representative Weiner, his family, his constituents and the House -- and for the good of all, he should step aside and address those things that should be most important -- his and his family's well-being."


And House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair Steve Israel have told Weiner he should resign, a Democratic source with knowledge of the conversations told CNN. Both released statements also demanding his resignation Saturday.

Everything's a damn soap opera. People are not perfect. I don't think shit like this should be paraded around in the public eye for everyone to scrutinize. It's his and his family's ordeal and no one elses except congress.

He's a politician and a public figure representing our country. He should have some self control. I don't care what anyone does in their personal life but if you're going to be a political figurehead, you need to uphold family values.

Man, you guys treat your politicians like we treat celebrities over here - acting like their private lives are of huge significance.

I can sort of understand the argument that they represent your country but does it really matter that much? Clinton fucked around like there was no tomorrow and yet people think he's a riot. Frankly I'd rather a politician was at least honest about their sexual conduct if they get caught, rather than acting like they're soooo sorry.

I didn't care a whole lot actually, until the minor got involved. Who knew what his intentions were there. That sickened me when I heard that.

It said no indecency went on with his interaction with the 17 year old. Politicians reach out to future voters in an effort to gain their support. There's nothing to indicate it was anything more than that.

We treat our celebrities the same way. It's pathetic all the way around if you ask me.

All I can add to my thoughts here is that I don't want any 46 year old man that has been sending lewd pictures to women, to be talking to my 17 year old daughter on Facebook no matter what the conversation is. And that holds true even if I didn't know about the pictures.

So because a man likes flirting with a woman it means he's into jailbait as well? Gottcha.
