Rep. Weiner Admits In Press Conference He Lied All Along But Vows ‘I Am Not Resigning’

Video
» 195 comments

Today another unpredictable chapter was added to the expanding Weinergate story, as just a few hours ago conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart and his website Big Government unveiled brand new, shirtless photos of Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner that were allegedly sent by Weiner to an unidentified female. Weiner wasted no time responding to these new photos by announcing a press conference, but oddly Breitbart himself appeared in the room and took the podium first.

Breitbart stole the spotlight at first, answering questions from members of the press and said “I’d like an apology from [Weiner]” and “I want to hear the truth.” Then Breitbart joked that “I’ve seen a lot of this Congressman’s body” and that “he’s in very good shape.” And finally, Breitbart suggested he is holding back one explicit photo in order to protect Weiner’s family.

Nearly twenty minutes later Weiner finally appeared and addressed all of the questions. Weiner shockingly admitted “I have made terrible mistakes” and that he lied about his Twitter account being hacked. Weiner confirmed that the pictures were in fact of him, and that he has exchanged pictures of himself with six women over the past few years. However, he stressed that he never had physical relationships with these women and that he never even met them. Some of the exchanges continued to take place after his marriage. Weiner emphasized that “I’m so sorry” and “I haven’t told the truth and I’ve done things I deeply regret.” Before taking many questions from reporters, Weiner reiterated that he apologized to his wife, that he is “deeply ashamed of my terrible judgment and actions” and finally that “I am not resigning.”

Prior to the press conference, questions were swirling whether Weiner could survive this controversy and for how long, or whether Weiner might even announce his resignation. Many believed Weiner hurt himself last week with his decision to conduct a round of interviews that breathed new life into the controversy as he was unable to definitely declare whether or not the man in the Twitter underwear picture was actually him. How today’s decision to come clean about everything will impact his public image remains to be seen.

    Where are the Dems calling for his resignation? Oh right, it’s okay… he’s a lib

  • brownsound

    Waiting for all the apologies to Breitbart…. waiting…. still waiting.

    It’s not OVER!

    He’s been doing this for several years!

    Some underaged girls were involved!

    (Remember Tommy Christopher’s Bettty and Veronica)?

  • laceyunderalls

    So when do all the Mediaite hacks *cough, Christopher, cough* apologize to Breitbart?

  • http://www.swissarmyjew.com Keeva

    Time for him to go. Once again, it is not the “crime” that gets them, it is the endless lying and cover ups.

    John Ensign, John Edwards, Larry Craig,and on and on and on. Every one of them could have survived the original scandal had they not lied about it.

  • TfT

    I’m sure that Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and LOD will all call for hisresignation on air tonight, along with Wolfe Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, and John King.

    Bwahahahahaha

    They will certainly make excuses for his”taking responsibility for his actions” but not raelly, since he isn’t resigning. They will twist it, turn it, spin it, and claim they have never called for the resignation of any congressman ever, or something.

  • TfT

    Actually, Tommy came to Breitbart’s defense in a lenghty article, if memory serves me correctly.

  • josecuervoisgood

    It will be interesting to see the reaction of his congressional colleagues. When a Republican has screwed up like this the push for the perpetrator’s resignation or ouster has been generally bi-partisan (think Craig). When a Democrat screws up – well that’s life so let’s move on (think Gary Stutts).

    He should resign! Immediately! Just like True American Patriots Larry Craig and David Vitter!!!

    If he was smart, he’d resign from Congress (because he’s dead in the water there now anyway) and apply to chair the President’s Council on Fitness. Say what you will, but damn, that guy is in good shape.

    Not good enough. Every person who besmirched him FROM THE BEGINNING should be groveling.

    They thought, ‘eh, pin it on Breitbart. It will fit our narrative. Protect our progressive friend and take down public enemy #1. Double win for us’.

  • TeaPartyNation

    The Weiner doesn’t have the integrity to resign — no surprise there.

    He has become the poster-boy for the moral, ethical, social, political and fiscal depravity of the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists.

  • felixw

    I think the liberals posting here owe apologies to Andrew Breitbart. He was defamed and smeared over and over again. He was falsely accused of photoshopping photos. He was falsely accused of making stuff up. But he as (again) been vindicated.

    But the leftwing media should be asking itself the bigger question: How can a homegrown website scoop the major news organizations again and again?

    Well, that’s easy to answer: the mainstream media only investigates conservatives and gives liberals a free pass. As long as this hypocrisy exists, people will need to go to Breitbart, Drudge and other freelancers if they want to get the real news. And the mainstream media outlets will continue to lose their audience, since we can all see that they are hopelessly compromised by their political biases.

  • mediadoubt

    Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

    When your judgement is this bad, and you’ve been caught in multiple lies, you need to go.

    As everyone has been saying, it’s not the crime (I don’t think sexting is a crime if you and the recipient are of age), but the cover up.

    Dumb, Anthony, dumb. Go away now.

  • Helix

    I hope the ladies name’s are left out of the media reports. The important thing was that the Congressman, in fact, lied. Andrew shouldn’t hold his breath waiting for an apology, though, from the MSM, even though he deserves one. They and the left will hate him with a passion for being correct all along.

    I for one thought Breitbart had manufactured this, though I don’t believe I said so. But I believed it in my heart, so for that reason I’ll offer him an apology.

    However, the notion that only conservatives get grilled when they do something moronic with their trousers down is demonstrably untrue. See, Weiner, Anthony.

  • Jackyboy

    He LIED?! I’m shocked….

  • jelliebean

    This is a blow for liberal democrats without a doubt. I held Weiner in high esteem for his passion on the 9/11 bill but this really sucks. He should resign.

    “The f–ing media wants Weiner to apologize to Andrew Breitbart….And the f—ng media wants to know where his wife is. What a–holes, etc. etc.” (I’ve had to censor the expletives, but you get the idea.)

    He does have to go, but he does not represent all Democrats the same way that John Ensign or Chris Lee are not all Republicans. If that is the case, then does Craig represent all conservatives as in the closet or Vitter represent all conservatives as whoremongers? Maybe Ensign and Edwards represent the bipartisan belief that money and lies will get them out of anything? Maybe some Mark Foley chasing underage male pages? Is that representative of all Republicans?

    There are plenty of slime on both sides, so save the faux partisan moral outrage.

    I am so happy I am No Party Affiliation and can honestly and without hypocrisy say that Congress is full of perverts and degenerates on BOTH SIDES.

  • Fleur Delacour

    It is very sad to hear an elected congressman to cry about this futility. It is his private life, and politicians should be judged on their ideas and actions. Not to expose this kind of contrition like if they did something wrong. It’s becoming ridiculous. And it reminds me the bad days of the trial of William Clinton.

    I am a conservative, but from Europe, I am always amazed by the tyranny of transparence and the taboo of sexuality in the american society.

    The ridiculous interest for frivoulous aspects of private life of famous people is something new, and sad, it is the result of the alliance of : 1/ feminism, 2/ religious puritanism, and 3/ bad press (tabloids, and now stupid websites).

    Lying to the American people? I was unaware you and Mr Weiner were so close that his lie could mean so much. This is his marriage, not a law or a bill.

    Have some common sense, if you think everyone that cheats shouldn’t be in congress there are many people from your side that would be out of a job.

  • felixw

    Of course Weiner won’t resign. Only Republicans resign after sex scandals. Democrats actually become more popular with the far left after having sex with an intern or posting dirty pictures on the web. In fact, Weiner can probably parlay this into a positive career move.

    accusing others of hacking, forget it, lying , forget it, you are right snowspot. this is the only thing he would lie about. lol

  • Ramrants

    Weiner shockingly admitted “I have made terrible mistakes” and that he lied about his Twitter account being hacked.

    Are you kidding me? What idiot actually believed his story that he was hacked. You can’t possible be shocked by his admission, unless it is shocked that he would actually admit it, cuz you didn’t think he would.

    Seriously, how can you claim to “report” on events if you fall for every stupid thing a politician says. Did you believe Senator Wide-stance when he said he wasn’t really trolling for gay sex in an airport bathroom? Cuz his excuse was just as stupid as Weiners.

    Something tells me you didn’t believe a word of what Senator Widestance said because he was a Republican. But Democrats get a pass.

  • LOGICandREASON

    Finally Anthony Weiner confesses! Remember last week I said we should all be looking forward to the “press conference”; finally the first part has happened today, the second part(resignation) will follow in a short while after he receives the usual “phone call” and “advise” from the Democratic “establishment”.

    These scandalous politicians like to say “I take full responsibility for my actions” as if someone else was meant to share the responsibility of their lewd actions with them.

    Weiner, next time dont wait for 8 days and 6 press interview denials. Once again, the cover up is worse than the offense.

    Lying about a flamboyant pimp
    Lying about racism
    Exposing someone exposing themselves.

    I feel sorry for his wife and maybe she will forgive him in time but it’s got to hurt. Hopefully he’ll be less cocky when he’s on the media’s stage. I just wonder if this will end his caree when he wants to run again. I sure wouldn’t miss him.

    Anthony Weiner has NO HONOR WHATSOEVER. He is still attempting to foment a narrative. He should resign for his party’s good. Oh well, just another poster boy for 2012. Add along with Reid, Pelosi, DWS and Obama.

    This guy bold faced lied about a hack. He accused Breitbart of the hack, allowed the lib media to run with that narrative. Repeatedly lied about the photo, the hack, the prank, etc. He’s untrustworthy. A Liar. How can he be trusted to tell the truth about anything. Don’t give me the crap about all politicians lying. He’s been caught red handed. He spent 8 hours one day last week granting interviews to every outlet he could AND LIED THROUGH HIS TEETH TO ALL OF THEM REPEATEDLY. He didn’t care who he threw under the bus or who he tried to smear (Breitbart) to get off the hook. He’s a lying, duplicitous POS and should be run out of town.

    I just got done reading about 100 comments over at the Kos. About 3 in 10 commenters are saying he should resign. The other 7 are making excuses, just as some are here.

    I do not know if some of you know what HONOR is, so let me explain it to you. It is something you have, if you do not have it, people cannot trust you.

    Anthony Weiner has NO HONOR WHATSOEVER. He is still attempting to foment a narrative. He should resign for his party’s good. Oh well, just another poster boy for 2012. Add along with Reid, Pelosi, DWS and Obama.

    By the way, cool of a couple of you to offer apologies to Breitbart. Very Honorable, see how that is done Weiner?

    Maybe he should resign….sad but true cause he was damn good at his job,but I don’t think anyone in politics or the media are gonna let him move on.
    Ultimately he’s probably gonna have to go.

    Oh BTW to all the right nuts in here who are having a lotta fun calling the guy worst creep ever or a man with NO HONOR because of some sexting….I hear ya…..so here….have fun.

    IT’S OBVIOUS WHAT HAPPENED;

    Anthony Weiner sent the lewd photo to the chick.

    He got caught and immediately claimed he was hacked.

    But, because he knows he was not hacked, does not want an investigation.

    So he lies again and says he’s doing his own private investigation which we can’t verify.

    I’m an INFJ personality type which means I understand human nature very well. Weiner sent these pics to these chicks cause he was “horny and wanted to show off his bod”. There. That’s all.

    Well lets see:

    1. He lied to the American people and the press
    2. He accused other people of lying
    3. He may have sent pictures to underage girls

    I will accept this only if #3 is absolutely true. I’ve got two daughters (though past the teen years) so I would pretty disturbed if he knowingly was sending pictures to underage girls.

    On one hand, I’m thinking the rest are just “whatever” issues because lots of public figures lie to the public and lots of public figures accuse other people of lying. Big deal.

    On the other had, as he’s become more public and notable as a representative, he’s HAD to have a target on his back by the opposition…that’s just how dirty politics really is. But, he probably should have known that would be the case.

    The thing that I have to laugh at is all this hub-bub about people thinking that Breitbart has such a high standing that he’s owed an apology or his rep has been ruined. With who? The right wing who love him or the left wing who hate him? Does anyone really think that he’s going to have any LESS cred with the lefties or that the right would look down upon him AT ALL? His whole MO from the beginning has been to target the “left wing media”. Not the conservative talkers…not the right wing online press…..the LEFT WING…so he will always be a darling in the eyes of the right wing. It’s just that simple.

    Let’s face it, “Liberals” lost a great ally today. And although “Liberals” are not as Pius as the hypocritical “Right”, (Hell they think we’re all heathen Devil worshiping sinners anyways), “Liberals know, Anthony must go. Unfortunately Twitter was the downfall of a good politician. You realize the only difference between a “Liberal” sex scandal and a “Conservative” sex scandal is, “Liberal” sex scandals involve members of the opposite sex. I have full faith Anthony will resign. So here you go “Cons” see if you can pickup his Congressional seat. My guess is you won’t be able too. Unlike the Strong Bastion of Republican power, in the 26th New York Congressional District.

    I, like the rest of you, have no power or sway in this matter, but don’t let it be said that I didn’t call for Anthony’s resignation. He should go. When you have idiots like Oxycon, spouting off things like “Leftists are totally fine with this”, it is apparent the depth of ignorance some “Righties” possess. And No, not all “Leftists” are fine with this.

  • OxyCon

    Weiner lied about not using his official resources to conduct his cyber harem
    In his presser today, Rep. Anthony Weiner insisted that he didn’t use official resources to conduct his internet flings or whatever you want to call them. That, according to one of the women who got pics from him including the pic he also sent to Gennette Nicole in Bellingham, was a lie.

    The relationship between Broussard and Weiner only ventured out of the digital world once, she said, when a man identifying himself as Weiner called by phone from a number associated with Weiner’s New York congressional office on the afternoon of May 18.

    “The day he called he just said, ‘Who in the world would be acting like me?’ laughing about it,” she said.

    “You’re an internet rat, aren’t you?” Broussard said she asked him, to which Weiner just sort of giggled.

    So he called her from his office. He also sexted her from his office.

    Their last correspondence, she says, was through Facebook message on May 27, just hours before the alleged “hack” of Weiner’s Twitter account occurred.

    “Are you offline?” Broussard wrote at 3:37 pm. “Crashed back up,” Weiner replied at 4:21 pm. Broussard last sent messages via Facebook and email to the man she believed to be Weiner on May 31, but has not received replies.

    “I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I think he’s got issues just like everybody else,” Broussard said. “Everyone’s standards are different, but to be elected to Congress and sit there all day on Facebook and chatting?”

    He was doing this stuff from his official office on his official time.

    Again, he only stopped lying about the pic and tweet because those lies stopped working. He’s still lying about all kinds of other things, and he’s going to make us all tease out every detail. He should resign.

    The only reason why he called this press conference was because more women were stepping forward and more pics were going to be released. This wasn’t about having a conscience, it was about being backed into a corner. Dems, if you want this tool as your representative, you deserve what you get. As to reps doing this, send them home in shame, too. I will support no one who engages in such behavior. And worse than the original stuff, he lies through his teeth for a freaking week. Bad faced, in your face, combative lying. I wouldn’t trust him to walk my dog.

    I don’t really care if he gets an ethics committee reprimand, those things are pretty meaningless these days. I do care to know the ages of the girls in question because if that doofus send junk pics to anyone under the age of 18, it’s just beyond the pale. He doesn’t know because HE JUST DIDN”T CARE. Didn’t care about them, his wife, his career or everyone else who questioned him. Weiner cares about himself. And his weiner. And i’m not joking.

    So when do all the Mediaite hacks *cough, Christopher, cough* apologize to Breitbart?

    They still haven’t apologized to Breitbart for the last time they smeared him — accusing him of complicity in a plot to bug a Senator’s office. Of course, the police never made any claim of bugging. No charges of bugging were ever filed in court. No bugging equipment was ever brought into the Senator’s office. No one with any expertise in bugging was on hand. And Andrew Breitbart wasn’t even on the scene of the supposed crime. But did you see any apologies by anyone in the liberal media? Of course, not. And you won’t seen any in this instance either.

    Breitbart has made the liberal media look foolish again and again, and they will never forgive him of this. Just imagine how stupid the MSNBC hosts (with the exception of Chris Matthews, who took an honest stance here) feel after bending over backwards to make excuses for Weiner, only to find him admit to everything. Sorry Rachel, but that’s the price you pay for operating as a political hack with no core values other than advancing your agenda by any means possible.

    I knew the young girls/women he followed were being followed for a reason.
    Like I said before, I think he followed them, and tried to engage them, if he didn’t get anywhere, he unfollowed them. He did that.

    I knew GN didn’t answer the relevant/important questions. Her statement was too carefully worded.

    I wonder what the parents of Betty and Veronica think now that their daughters were following/being followed by a pervy little man.

    And, it seems those who were warning girls that Weiner carried on inappropriately with young women were right. *cough* @patriotusa76 *cough*

    Thank you George. We all agree Weiner is a sick puppy. You can go back to the “Home” now.

    Never said that.I said earlier he should probably resign because of ethics….
    But you use this to call any Liberal scums and my answer is there is way more conservatives actually proven scum than Liberals…..so there is that.

    Your link references city councilman, campaign workers, staffers, etc. If you’re digging that deep, I’m sure an impressive list could also be created for the Democrats.

    So much for standards when you try to list Rumsfeld as a sex offender because of Abu Ghraib. Whilst we are at it, why don’t we call out Obama for the leaked photos of prisoner abuse in Afghanistan. Why not also mention Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, Eric Massa, etc.; a recent Democrat candidate for president that conspired with his wife to hide a love child (John Edwards); and two sitting Democrat presidents (Bubba Clinton, JFK). Give it a rest.

    yea way to miss all the rest of the page there dude….very fair analysis.

    Follow the Lefty Liberal logic:

    Day 1: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 2: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 3: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 4: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 5: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 6: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 7: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 8: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 9: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys
    Day 10: Weiner didn’t do it. He was hacked by the evil scum Breitbart and the 2 other guys

    Day 11: (the day Weiner finally fesses up to tweeting the dic-pic and sexting six other young women) Big deal!

    All I’m saying is to use this to paint liberals in general as perverts is a cheap shot.
    Right now on Fixed News(!!!) they have a slide show of Congressional sex scandals….there is 9 of them.
    And even Fixed News could only find 2 out of 9 that were Dems…..good batting average there GOP….
    See I can give cheap shot too…so that was my answer to someone insulting Libs in general that’s all.

    So what are you trying to claim, that “fix” is really in for the democrats? Not the brightest I see. Spitzer, Weiner, Edwards. Clinton. Four right there. ‘OMG FIX NEWZ’… Again ^. According to you and your post they are fixed for the dems, though you are just repeating silly nonsense.

    Also not to be a partisan tool like some here is something that took like a second to find.

  • Nature Freak

    Personally I would prefer Weiner to stay away from the under 25 dating pool, but it is just a personal opinion. Weiner can do what he wants (consensually of course)

    And by the way my parents were married and monogamous for 52 years until my Dad died.
    I would never trash a monogamously married couple that wants to stay that way until death do us part.
    But the fact remains consenting adults should have choices. One size does not fit all.

    Reminds me of a Glenn Beck joke from his book, an Inconvenient Book: Why any man would want a wife is a mystery. Why any man would want more than one wife is a bigamistery.

  • TriviaMatters

    Maybe I’ll think twice about continuing to visit Mediaite and all the other websites that are constantly posting this right in my face, if the new status quo and modus operandi is “every time some ratbag who thinks he’s hot posts pics of his skinny ass, we just HAVE to post it all over the front page with no “gross” warning..

    Seriously. I thought Matt Drudge was gay and he didnt bother posting any “artists impressions” of what Bill Clinton looks like under his pants. Thank god there was no leaky twitter feeds or camera phones back then…

    Do you seriously need to post it to “guarantee clicks”? This is making me seriously sick of the way the current media machine works. I really want to know do you literally HAVE to post this? Or do you do it just because it titillates you?

    I’m really sick of having to scroll past Anthony Weiner’s scrawny ass every time I want to read about some actual half decent stories.

    You libs are just still obsessed with Bush aren’t you. For the last time, Bush never lied when we were going to go to war with Iraq. All the evidence proves this but most libs are too lazy to read books like Glenn Beck and his historian friend do to find the real truths. You just believe what you want to believe which is always wrong.

    It is so nice to have Wiener Man out of there. He was a weaselly jerk who will not be missed because politicans should obviously not show pictures like that to little girls like he did. What a pervert thank you.

    I still have so many questions and Im so perplexed. Why does anthony weiners nose look like that? How did he make it through school with a face like that? Same question of his similarly annoying faced friend Jon Stewart. I’m still sitting here totally baffled. Why the heck do we need to see this? I havent seen someone this geeky looking naked since the days of taking showers at my British school with all the malnourished little dweebs you get in a socialist hellhole like this country and guess what, I dont miss that at all, thanks

    Why do you stupid media people need to post these pics? I know you liberal media sickos are all like “YEAH YEAH YEAH THIS IS INTERNET AND ITS THE NEW AGE F PERMISSIVENESS WHEN WE DONT HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO THOSE ASSHOLES WHO CENSOR TV AND MADE A BIG FUSS ABOUT JANET JACKSON HELL YEAH EVERYTHING IS FLESH ALL OVER THE INTERNET”

    Didnt it ever occur to your years-of-constant-cellphone-use damaged brains that there is actually an upside to prudishness sometimes? This isnt Janet Jackson. It’s the body of screech from Saved By the Bell after he downed a couple of glasses of creatine milkshake and did some bicep curles with a couple of soda cans. And youre making us look at it every time we log on to the site to read about other ACTUAL half decent news/political stories. W. H. Y.

    This confirms everything we know to be true: Libs lie; Weiner’s an asshole; and Brietbart is right.

    11 days – if Clinton had been this smart he would never have been impeached. This story will not have legs especially for a Republican advantage (cant throw stones in a glass house). He is a scumbag and will go away. Back to the issues after the stoning is over…

    TriviaMatters said:

    Yes, because criticizing the actions of the state of Israel is far more anti-Semetic than making fun of how they look. And that was a brilliant defense, too. “Some of my best friends are ______!”

    Why do you hate Jews oh that is a silly question it is because you are a lib. I wonder if you are also sexist and racist too but I don’t have to wonder very hard because the answers to those things are probably yes and yes. If you don’t think that America should support Israel without question than you probably think the halocaust didn’t happen but guess what it did because of libs who looked the other way. Read your history sometimes thank you.

  • Nature Freak

    OK, was everyone getting upset at me because you thought I was trashing monogamous marriages? I was not trashing monogamy as I respect people who stay together and don’t have other partners. I just don’t believe everyone is wired that way. I personally do not desire to be with just one person my entire life, so
    I have been in a variety of relationships.

    Different strokes for different folks. Forcing monogamy on adults who do not want it is a mistake.

    If Anthony and Huma had young children BTW i would be a little tougher on them than I am.

    The little buthisface is neutralized. The political PeeWee Herman of politics just proved what we had known for many years. Can’t trust a word that cums out of his mouth. New spin for the media after giving their millions of scenerios of how he was originally framed. Now they’ll pile on to save face just like that 2bit blogger Christopher and the majority of the Mediaite staff. Imagine how that had to hurt Tommy to defend Breitbart. Even he saw the handwriting on the wall and bailed. .

    Sure, why should Weiner quit over this lying fiasco???? It only follows his character pattern, such as crafting health care legislation forcibly foisted on the nation while he sought exemptions on his own district, or in targeting Glenn Beck’s gold promotions as corrupt even as we saw the price double for his customers.

    If he fails to do what is decent and quit, it may be just as well. He’ll be an empty suit in congress with as much influence as someone who is sitting at the kid’s table at Thanksgiving has in the kitchen decisions. “Thank you for you advice Anthony. Just keep the cranberries off the carpet, and zip up your fly son.”
