Blogger Who Busted The “Craigslist Congressman” Talks To CNN’s Piers Morgan
It’s been a sensational–but short–story: Rep. Chris Lee, resigning just hours after Gawker published a story suggesting he’d sent shirtless photos of himself to a woman he connected with via Craigslist. The story moved so quickly Wednesday evening (hitting just in time for the primetime cable news shows, fortunately) the scandal had nearly run its course before the author of the original blog post even got her proverbial fifteen minutes. Thankfully, CNN’s Piers Morgan was able to squeeze in a few moments during his live (with studio audience, no less) interview of Donald Trump for Gawker’s Maureen O’Connor, who seemed delighted to be there.
O’Connor says the story that cost Lee his job began with a message from a woman claiming to have had a “crazy chance encounter with a Congressman.” She’s the woman who’d placed an ad on Craigslist that got a response from “fit, fun and classy” Lee. The photos and email address, the woman later learned, matched up to the Republican from New York, Lee.
O’Connor says “we don’t actually have evidence of him getting together with this woman or cheated on his wife,” and notes that Lee made little to no effort to cover his tracks. Perhaps the best comment came directly after the interview, when The Donald said “he should resign because he’s stupid.”
