YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAnthony Weiner met me for breakfast. He ordered toast, two eggs, corned beef hash and a third chance at politics. NY Post columnist Kirsten Fleming shares this story.
But before we broke bread at Cozy Soup and Burger near Astor Place, he made a prediction — that I would refer to him as “disgraced” in the headline or the first line of this column.
It felt like part provocation, part defense mechanism. Get the punches over with. Rip off the Band-Aid. After all, he has a lot of self-inflicted wounds.
To recap: In 2011, the then-congressman tweeted a close-up photo of his underwear-clad crotch. He resigned from office. In 2013, he ran for mayor and his win was seemingly inevitable … until it emerged that he had been sexting with women who weren’t his wife, under the name Carlos Danger. He finished fifth in the Democratic primary. Then, in 2017, he pleaded guilty to sexting with an underage teen.
Weiner went to prison for 15 months, followed by a stint in a halfway house.
The Post was unsparing, churning out a catalog of punny phallic headlines including “Weiner Exposed” and “Stroking Gun.”
