Wrap That Rascal: The Hill Gives Weiner Some Cover
By Marc Giller | May 23, 2017, 02:15pm | @MarcGiller To say former Anthony Weiner has hit rock bottom wouldn’t be entirely true. He actually landed there back in 2011, roundabouts the time he accidentally tweeted a picture of his junk to the world, forcing an end to his career in Congress and putting to rest any speculation as to which of his heads did most of the thinking. Yet somehow Weiner kept digging, and in the midst of his campiagn for mayor of New York two years later, he got busted for texting more lewd pics of the ol’ wedding tackle, this time assuming the persona of one Carlos Danger–a name only slightly less ridiculous than that of the woman on the receiving end, Sydney Leathers. It almost seemed as if the entire world had tuned into some weird version of Cinemax After Dark, and all the rest of us could do was watch with horrified fascination.
But no, even that wasn’t low enough for Carlos–and as the time passed and his wife Huma Abedin was away with Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail, he found even more creative ways of redefining sleaze for a new generation. In fact, it was a member of that generation–a 15 year old girl, no less–who became the object of his sexting fixation, which in turn made him the object of an FBI investigation. The very investigation that caused James Comey to re-open the inquiry into Hillary’s emails less than two weeks before the election.
Knock, knock. Could that finally be you, rock bottom?
Well, considering that Hillary lost, Huma filed for divorce, and Weiner is probably headed for prison, he might have actually arrived. And while you might think with all that piled against him, Weiner would feel like he didn’t have a friend in the world, you’d be wrong.
Here comes The Hill to the rescue:
The teenage girl who had exchanged sexually explicit text messages with former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) lied about her age and political motivations to harm Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to a report by the investigative news site WhoWhatWhy.
In a report published Monday, the website said the girl who exchanged the messages with Weiner was closer to 17 and not 15, as initial reports said. That also puts her above the age of consent in North Carolina, which is 16.
