new documentary about Anthony Weiner’s infamous 2013 New York City mayoral bid that was derailed by his sexting scandal comes at the “worst possible time” for Hillary Clinton, ABC’s Jonathan Karl reported Thursday.
In a clip flagged by NewsBusters, Karl said the “extraordinary behind-the-scenes footage” of “Weiner” dredges up the scandal again “at the worst possible time for Hillary Clinton and her closest aide,” Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin.
“In politics, as in much of life, timing is everything,” Karl said. “For Congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s closest aide and constant presence at her side, the new documentary about his sordid political tale couldn’t come at a worse time.”
“Weiner” depicts a “political campaign set on self-destruct,” as the New York Times put it. Former Weiner aide Josh Kreigman made the film and captured such moments as Abedin telling the camera that she was “living a nightmare.”
The former Democratic congressman resigned in 2011 when it was revealed that he had exchanged sexually explicit photos and messages with several women online. His 2013 bid for New York City mayor was an attempt at a political comeback. However, the revelation that his sexting habit continued under the alias “Carlos Danger” sent his campaign into a tailspin. He wound up finishing in fifth in the Democratic primary.
Karl’s report included Donald Trump’s prior remarks about Weiner that New York didn’t want “perverts” representing them.
“Now, with the documentary, another chance for Trump to bring up Hillary Clinton’s own response to her husband’s infamous sex scandal,” Karl said.
He concluded the report by saying Weiner still hasn’t seen the movie, and, “as you can imagine,” Abedin and Clinton had no comment on it, either.
I KNEW that Carlos Danger would become a household name again!!
YES!!
Weiners have always been inconvenient for Hillary.
Weiner/Holder 2016
Worst possible time is not now. Coming out now allows Her Heinous and her minions to call it old news during the campaign.
My favorite headline from those days:
“Harry Reid Hangs Wiener Out To Dry”
Worst possible time is not now. Coming out now allows Her Heinous and her minions to call it old news during the campaign.
Lol.
This will be a signal for the multitudes of Americans to start cheering.
Make no mistake - right or wrong, this is the ‘timing’ they want.
And you can bet your bottom dollar it was cleared by Hillary! herself too.
Then you don’t know the Hillary voters. This only gets the sympathy vote for her.
And Bill said to these people to drag their friends / families ‘screaming and kicking’ to vote for Hillary.
These were real headlines:
“Mounting pressure on Weiner”
“Weiner Roasted”
“Weiner Pulls Out”
“Boehner Won’t Bite on Weiner”
“Weiner’s Rise and Fall”
Weiner says “It COULD be my weiner”
“Stick a Fork In It”
“Weiner: ‘I’ll Stick It Out” in NY race.
LOL!
Its an election year and usually the earlier the ‘dirt is dumped’ the better it is for the candidate so I’m cynical about the drama over this story.
Dump it in May so it will be forgotten in November is my take.
The Clinton’s have a pattern of using the media to dump the dirt early so it doesn’t hurt them later. Especially Friday dirt dumping going into the weekend.
Hillary would prefer this to occur when. and if, the FBI releases its findings. The public prefers sex stories as opposed to national security.
“Weiner” and “Clinton Cash” coming out (supposedly before July 24). I just might have to figure out how to use my VCR again.
It’s just too bad that Karma is catching up to BJ and Hitlery as they made oh so many enemies for decades, ya think?
