1:09Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) resigned Thursday after House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and others said the scandal he created by sending lewd photographs of himself over Twitter had caused a distraction to Democrats preparing for the 2012 election. "He was forced out of office over—it wasn't even rising to the level of a sex scandal," says Salon.com political blogger Glenn Greenwald on Democracy Now! June 20. "The Democratic leadership ... all acted to force him out of office, and yet throughout the Bush years, when you had torture and illegal eavesdropping and the war in Iraq that left hundreds of thousands dead, Nancy Pelosi said impeachment is off the table."
