Circus! Hecklers Interrupt Rep. Weiner During Resignation Announcement

Video
» 239 comments

After various members of Congress, the media, and even the President weighed in on whether Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner should resign from office as a result of his “sexting scandal,” today Weiner finally made it official and announced his resignation. Many attribute Weiner’s decision to announce his resignation now to the fact that his wife just returned from a trip abroad with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, although the non-stop media coverage of the controversy and the increasing amount of Democrats saying he should resign surely contributed to his ultimate decision.

Weiner spoke about why he entered politics to begin with and how twenty years ago in the same room he first spoke to voters about running for City Council. He said there is “no higher honor in a democracy” than to be an elected representative and suggested that the “middle class story of New York is my story and I’m very proud of that.” He again stated his apology for the “personal mistakes I have made” and how “the distraction that I have created” unfortunately made it impossible for any other business in Congress to get attention.

As Weiner attempted to make it through his humbling speech, several hecklers very loudly yelled some questions that highlighted just how awkward and uncomfortable this whole ordeal truly is. With a question like “are you more than seven inches” and a shout of “pervert,” it seems like Weiner and many others will be grateful that the story can finally be laid to rest.

    It really is. I’m gonna miss that angry little Weiner.

    Weiner received what he loved to dish out.

    There is a lesson there, I suppose!

    “Weiner Resigns”

    Ladies, isn’t that typical of a lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist – just when you most need them to stay FIRM in their resolve they go LIMP and resign ? (BTW: REAL MEN never shoot pool with a rope and we always remain SOLID in our convictions until the the job is completed to the satisfaction of everyone.)

    The disgusting, despicable, repulsive actions of The Weiner have ensured that he now becomes a permanent MEMBER of the lunatic-left club of morally, ethically, socially and politically bankrupt politicians and he’ll soon be inducted into the overflowing d-cRAT socialist Hall of Shame, which includes “monica-stain” bill, TAX CHEAT charlie rangel, buffoon barney frank and, of course, the role model for them all, ted “the drunk who murdered mary jo kopechne” kennedy.

    The only question that remains is when will The Weiner join Client #9 and begin his new job as a host on the c(lowns)n(itwits and socialist)n(attering nabobs) network. Of course, like his morals and ethics, his ratings will be in the toilet, but at least he’ll be consistent in everything and the other lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists will still be able to watch his disgusting and despicable behavior on a network that is at their slime-beneath-the-slime level.

    Seems like a hollow victory to me… what did we win? Besides a hit against democrats PR.. I don’t really see the loss of Anthony Weiner effecting either side all that greatly.

    Yes. Let’s hope he continues to send unsolicited pictures of his weiner to woman. We don’t have enough modern day versions of a flasher and hopefully others will follow his lead in harassing women.

    Circus………………..are they guessing Weiner size now at the Amazing Renault or something?

    I am still wondering about the absolute bull polls that were trotted out to say that his constituents backed him to stay.

    Come on! If the polls really said that, the communists…….erm democrats would have circled the wagons.

    The fact is, only 8% of the US thought that he should remain in office. That is even lower than the approval rating of congress.

    Funny thing is, even the polls that measure Obama’s ratings have to be skewed. There is no way in heck that people approve of him at a 42% rate. That has to be a lie. The black community itself is at a 30-50% unemployment rate, depending on if you believe the government numbers or the real numbers. How in the heck does he have that good of a rating?

    Like I have said before, there is only one poll that I believe, that is elections themselves. Obama was elected with a pretty good ratio. The problem was, he was NOT elected for who he was, he was elected for who he wasn’t, George Bush!

    Read into the polls all you want, how about this poll? Wisconsin, a progressive haven has thrown out the progressive creed! Read into that all you want, Wisconsin has TURNED RED!!!!!! That in and of itself has to tell you something!

    Why do people have to act like animals? Could they not behave for Weiner’s conference? Just dumb, juvenile behaviour.

    Weiner did himself in. The guy just ate a whole bucket of crow and the “media” acted like freaking animals. I’m not impressed. It’s time for adults to act like adults and leave the jeering and stupid comments at home.

    Not all are elected officials, but everyone of these pervs. is a Republican, and the majority of them are far worse than sending penis pics to grown women and having phone sex. As Bill Maher said last week “he didn’t even get any”.

    In Wisconsin, Republican state Senator Randy Hopper, while claiming to still live with his wife, was actually living outside the district he represents with a much younger 25-year-old mistress.

    RNC uses party funds to pay rich, young Republican donors to attend a Hollywood night club specializing in lesbians, bondage, and S&M.Washington Post March 30, 2010[7] Michael Steele appears to have authorized it at least indirectly as part of his “off the hook” PR campaign. A Young Republican who knew Steele personally named Erik Brown was involved.

    Roy Ashburn, the conservative Republican California state senator, who was arrested in March of 2010 for drunk driving after reportedly leaving a gay bar, has acknowledged that he is gay. Ashburn, a divorced father of four, has repeatedly voted in opposition to gay rights, and in 2005 hosted a rally in favor of “traditional marriage.” He has voted against expanding anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation, recognizing out-of-state gay marriages and establishing a day honoring gay lawmaker Harvey Milk. [8]

[9][10]

    Paul Stanley, Republican former member of the Tennessee Sen., resigned from the state Senate effective Aug. 10, after his affair with a 22-year-old intern and a subsequent extortion attempt was revealed to the public. [11][12]

Police raided his home and discovered various furry outfits such as a wolf costume, as well as a cat outfit; all complete with two holes cut out at the undersides of the costumes. He is now arraigned in Dauphin County jail on a $250,000 bail.[18][19][20][21]

However, in late 2006 he appeared to endorse the right of individual states to create same-sex civil unions, but said he would vote “yes” on an Idaho constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages when pressured to clarify his position by the anti-gay rights advocacy group Families for a Better Idaho.

    Congressman accused of sending ‘sick’ emails to 16 year old boy

    Larry Womack
    Published: Thursday September 28, 2006

    Print This Email This

    A Congressman has been accused of sending questionable emails to a sixteen-year old Capitol page, RAW STORY has learned.

    Reports circulated on the Internet earlier this week, indicating that in private emails, Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) had requested photographs of the page, asked what he wanted for his birthday, and inquired about his age. The emails may be viewed below.

    A subsequent investigation by RAW STORY discovered that the addresses on the emails were indeed those of Foley and a now-seventeen year old boy, who forwarded them to a fellow staffer. There is no overtly sexual communication in Foley’s emails, and the age of consent in Washington, DC is sixteen.

    Foley’s office has told ABC News that it is their policy to keep pictures of former interns so that they could be remembered by anyone looking to recommend one. However, ABC also reports that the page did not work in Foley’s office.

    RAW STORY spoke with several sources, who confirmed that they felt Foley was unusually friendly with young Hill pages, but failed to uncover anything of a more serious nature.

    However, since RAW STORY’s original investigation, instant messages of a far more explicit nature, sent from Florida to users who identified themselves as under the age of consent in that state, have surfaced. Those messages are likely considered a third degree felony under Florida law.

    Our investigation also uncovered a MySpace profile attached to the congressman’s personal address, containing very little information.

    Seriously, lets play this game if you wish?

    Foley has long marketed himself as a protector of children from sexual predation. In 2003, he became an outspoken critic of a summer nudist camp for children. An amendment by Foley to change federal sex offender laws became part of the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act of 2006.

    What’s amusing is you lefty’s here clinging to the Weiner vine, hell your own Messiah, The Chicago Jesus threw Weiner under the bus. His neighbors, friends and party pals, even party leadership dropped him like a spent rubber.

    He’ll be in Central Park whipping his willie by dusk tonight.

    You’re just jealous because the radical right embraces this kind of stuff.

    “His scandal”?…(and I’m not/wasn’t a Nixon fan), just like both sides, the ’scandal’ was the ‘coverup’.
    I don’t care who we elect..(actually I do)…but we have to elect people that care and love this Country.

    also, since when is it not a scandal to have your political opponents wire tapped?

    Henceforth he can continue to be a pervert as much as he wants, but at least he will not be doing it under tax payer’s money and certainly not in the People’s House(gym and office).

    It’s been going on for a while, boys and girls. Cheating probably began the day they invented monogamy.
    The sensible thing to do is nothing. Let people do as they please in private.
    Demanding behavior from our leaders that is “pure and without sin” is unrealistic.
    That’s why we forgive it in our own. We look beyond the “sin” to see what we like.
    But until we look beyond it in those with whom we don’t agree, we are not being honest with ourselves.
    It’s hard to be sanctimonious with your pants around your ankles, or in a diaper.

    GOP Leader Rebuts Hastert on Foley
    Reynolds: Speaker Knew of E-Mails in Spring

    By Jonathan Weisman and Charles Babington
    Washington Post Staff Writers
    Sunday, October 1, 2006

    House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) was notified early this year of inappropriate e-mails from former representative Mark Foley (R-Fla.) to a 16-year-old page, a top GOP House member said yesterday — contradicting the speaker’s assertions that he learned of concerns about Foley only last week.

    Hastert did not dispute the claims of Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (R-N.Y.), and his office confirmed that some of Hastert’s top aides knew last year that Foley had been ordered to cease contact with the boy and to treat all pages respectfully.

    Reynolds, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, became the second senior House Republican to say that Hastert has known of Foley’s contacts for months, prompting Democratic attacks about the GOP leadership’s inaction. Foley abruptly resigned his seat Friday.

    House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) told The Washington Post on Friday that he had learned in late spring of inappropriate e-mails Foley sent to the page, a boy from Louisiana, and that he promptly told Hastert, who appeared to know already of the concerns. Hours later, Boehner contacted The Post to say he could not be sure he had spoken with Hastert.
    ad_icon

    Yesterday’s developments revealed a rift at the highest echelons of House Republican ranks a month before the Nov. 7 elections, and they threatened to expand the scandal to a full-blown party dilemma.

    Only after Reynolds’s definitive statement did Hastert concede yesterday that he may have been notified of some of the questionable activities of Foley, 52, who had co-chaired the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children’s Caucus. Hastert said, however, that he knew nothing of the sexually explicit instant messages that became public Friday when ABC News and other news outlets reported them. The messages apparently were exchanged with youths other than the 16-year-old.

    Hastert’s aides learned in the fall of 2005 only of e-mail exchanges that House officials eventually deemed “over-friendly” with the Louisiana teenager, the speaker’s office said yesterday in a lengthy statement. “While the Speaker does not explicitly recall this conversation” with Reynolds, the statement said, “he has no reason to dispute Congressman Reynolds’s recollection that he reported to him on the problem and its resolution.”

    Boehner and Reynolds said their offices learned of the Foley e-mails months ago from Rep. Rodney Alexander (R), who sponsored the page from his northeastern-Louisiana district.

    “Rodney Alexander brought to my attention the existence of the e-mails between Mark Foley and a former page of Mr. Alexander’s,” Reynolds said yesterday. “Despite the fact that I had not seen the e-mails in question, and Mr. Alexander told me that the parents didn’t want the matter pursued, I told the speaker of the conversation Mr. Alexander had with me.”

    GOP leaders have said they referred the matter promptly to Rep. John M. Shimkus (R-Ill.), who heads a three-lawmaker panel that oversees the House page program.

    Shimkus questioned Foley, but at that time, he had seen only suspiciously friendly e-mails, not the explicit instant messages revealed recently. In one e-mail to the former page, for example, Foley asked for a picture of him. The boy reportedly told an associate that he considered the request to be “sick,” but Foley convinced Shimkus that the exchanges were innocent, Shimkus and Republican leaders said.

    Republicans appeared to have kept the matter under wraps. Rep. Dale E. Kildee (Mich.), the only Democrat on the House Page Board, said yesterday: “I was never informed of the allegations about Mr. Foley’s inappropriate communications with a House page, and I was never involved in any inquiry into this matter.”

    Frank advocated for and defended Fannie Mae’s questionable mortgage loan practices for years, not days. Also, his boyfriend Herb Moses was a Fannie Mae executive who worked there from 1991 to 1998, while Frank was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over Fannie Mae.

    Barney Frank was one of the most vociferous proponents of sub-prime mortgage lending, which was the catalyst for the recession of 2008. He bears as much responsibility for the recession as anyone.

    Yes because Mark Foley was boinking the pages

    After leaving the program, the former page began receiving messages from Foley. He is uncertain how Foley knew his college instant-message name, but assumed the congressman had access to a directory listing former pages’ whereabouts.

    The exchanges quickly became provocative. In one 2000 message, Maf54 inquired about the length and direction of the youth’s erection.

    “I always thought you were gay,” Maf54 commented.

    “Is it obvious?” the former page asked.

    Ultimately, the young man said, he had a sexual encounter with Foley at the congressman’s Washington home.

    Continue to defend child predators all you want, I choose not to do so. Hastert and people in his office knew about Foley almost a year before it went public. Someone in the upthread said that it finally came out right before the election, well duh, this is politics that is what happens. But honestly if the right wing wants to blame anyone for the disaster that was the 2006 mid-terms, blame Hastert if he had come out immediately and taken care of their Foley problem when he first learned of it, no one would have been talking about it come November 2006 and the Republicans might have held the House, which we now know didn’t happen and who knows they might not have gotten so spanked in 2008.

    Also thanks for linking everyone to the disgusting display Sean Hannity vomited last week where Foley said no one should be punished for sending sexual messages to children and Sean said nothing in objection.

    I am an independent I think both sides are pretty screwed up, but the Republicans are actually disgusting with their defense of stuff like this, it really turns my stomach that a guy who sent penis pictures to adult women has to resign but Republicans continue to defend the actions of people like Mark Foley. Congrats.

    HANNITY: Do you think somebody who sends e-mails and has instant messages with children like you did, should that be a crime, should people go to jail for that? Because, you know, one of the things you said you had to deal with is your exploitation. If somebody talks the way you spoke to these kids, should they go to jail?

    FOLEY: No.

    HANNITY: Should they be arrested?

    FOLEY: No.

    HANNITY: How do people trust people that talk like that with kids, how do they trust them around kids?

    FOLEY: Well, I think, again, it goes to behavior.

    HANNITY: You can write anything you want to a kid on the internet?

    FOLEY: No, again, Sean and I’m not going to sit here and try and excuse my behavior. But should I have gone to jail? No, absolutely not.

    HANNITY: Mark Foley, thanks for being with us. Appreciate it.

    Attempting to ruin other peoples’ lives had become a game to Weiner, and no one deserves the Karma any more than he. I could care less about his mid-life crisis, it’s the fact that he was willing to ruin a man’s life for the purpose of fulfilling his lies. This after he tried to use the power of the federal government to bring down a corporation, for no other reason but they were one of Beck’s sponsors.

    This is a loathsome human being, and if he lost everything that’s dear to him and lived out his days under a freeway overpass at the bottom of a wine bottle, it would be too good for him.

  • Colorado_Conservative

    The sad thing is he is still in denial and still lying!!
    He did not get into politics to help those who had no voice like he said, he got into politics to advanced himself and his own self interest.
    This creep is going to have to come to terms with himself or or he is facing some real tough times ahead.

  • jo hoochie

    It was a choice he made to send pictures of himself. He has only himself to blame. Just like attempting to ruin every conservative he crossed paths with. Yes Karma does come back to bite every loud mouth bully out there, republican or democrat. Seems the socialist democrats are the ones who screams the loudest!

    I do not defend child predators, what a rancid thing for you to say. I prefer information to be accurate and from the article you posted it’s clear that the Repub leadership were not aware of EXPLICIT email/messaging sent to minors by Foley a year prior. Inappropriate, overly friendly, not EXPLICIT..

    “well, duh, this is politics” Look who is defending those that sat on the information and allowed a child predator to carry on. BTW, I was the one “upthread.”

    I never defended what they “did”, but if you are going to claim principle, then how come you have no problem with Hastert doing nothing about it for a year even though he knew about it. You can claim he didn’t all you want but the facts are facts, sorry you seem to have a problem with them.

  • illusive man

    Oh no! Now what is the left going to do with out their one and only Weiner? How are they going to proform (in congress) with out their one and only Weiner?
    The Republican’s still have their strong Boehner, but no short and thin Weiner for the Democrat’s. :(

    It’s a sad day and many Democrat’s will miss their beloved one and only Weiner.

    I expected him to atone for his sins after 5 years and admit that what he did was disgusting, no such luck. The really surprising thing (or not really surprising at all), is Hannity said nothing and ended the segment. I am glad the poster actually posted this as some sort of defense, it shows how out of touch with reality the majority of Republicans are in 2011. Good luck Republicans, your long term electoral chances look very dim as you continue to defend child predators and all around bad people. We independents are taking note.

    To repeat again, hope this is clear enough for you this time. Hastert did not know Foley’s e-mails were as explicit as they were. What he did know was they were “overly friendly, inappropriate, etc.” and that it was being handled. Perhaps, no one in the Repub leadership or Shimpkus who was tasked with disciplining wayward reps. had even seen the explicit email that Foley’s opponent had given to an attorney that somehow found their way to Rahm Emanuel.

    There you go copy&paster, go find what email was available a year prior and compare them to the email Emanuel wound up with.

    It damages nothing I never said that particular page was underage, in fact I already knew that. But Foley did have inappropriate contact with children. Continue to defend gay child predators if you wish. It is typical Republican behavior. If Mark Foley had a D next to his name (which Fox News tried to do at the time), you would demand he be castrated. Funny that way isn’t it.

    Why didn’t The Weiner just send in a resignation letter instead of holding a press conference?
    Is he so stupid that he didn’t think he was going to be heckled?

    He has some serious narcistic problems, have a feeling we will be hearing about this scum in the short future!

  • CAconservative

    Some in the audience may have stepped over the line with inappropriate behavior. But, then again, it’s about time Weiner and the rest of the pig-slop in Washington got a good look at our indignation. Washington is under the mistaken belief that the dust has settled. They couldn’t be more wrong! What they are seeing is the lull before the battle, and if this corrupt government thinks we’re going to put up with anymore nonsense from either Party, they’d better think again. Civility among the populous with Washington is coming to an end!

  • TucsonTerpFan

    Most of the (are they left-leaning?) media don’t seem to have much of a problem with protestors who sprinkle glitter on republicans or see anything wrong with Code “Pinkers” disrupting people on the right or dancing at The Jefferson Memorial, so a few “Weinerites” protesting…no big deal….

    “Story…laid to rest…” Mediaite, you’re getting so “(f)punny.”
