7:54Now PlayingAnthony Weiner has been repeatedly caught sexting women, now he’s going to jail for it. Cenk Uygur, the host of The Young Turks, tells you why he’s going to prison. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“He lost his seat in Congress, his bid to become mayor of New York City, and his marriage. He quite possibly destroyed Hillary Clinton’s shot at the presidency.
On Monday, Anthony D. Weiner, sobbing as the judge spoke, learned the final, personal cost of his seemingly uncontrollable habit of exchanging lewd texts and pictures with women: 21 months in prison.
Until now, Mr. Weiner, 53, had been the beneficiary of multiple second chances, resurrecting his political savvy and promise amid earnest vows that he had learned his lesson.
But this time, there would be no second chance for Mr. Weiner, who pleaded guilty in May to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor, and had faced up to 10 years in prison.
His texting habit fueled his long and tortuous downfall. But it was his most recent exchanges with a 15-year-old girl that were the most personally ruinous: his wife filed for divorce, he pleaded guilty and now faces imprisonment.”
