Serial sexter Anthony Weiner has been whacked with big fines for the improper use of 2013 mayoral campaign funds — including to pay for a personal cell phone.
An audit by the Campaign Finance Board found that Weiner’s campaign committee expensed two mobile lines — one of which the disgraced pol said was used for fundraising.
But auditors concluded that “because this line remained the Candidate’s personal phone from May-September 2013, its usage is presumed to be personal.”
The CFB hit the campaign for that and other irregularities to the tune of nearly $65,000 in penalties.
The board also ordered the committee to repay the $195,377 in funds that remain in Weiner’s 2013 campaign account – which are considered public cash.
The bulk of the fines came from the campaign’s failure to explain tens of thousands of dollars in expenses during the campaign and more than $100,000 afterward – including to a consultant.
The tab for the improperly expensed mobile lines and dry cleaning bills added up to $1,539.

Gets screwed?? Not virtually but literally??
So the $65,000 comes out of the remaining balance before they repay the balance?
Isn’t that a wash?
Is repaying campaign cash a local thing or is that all campaigns including National?
The words Antony Weiner and screwed should never be used in the same sentence.
NY thang I think..............
Financially................
I saw the title and just couldn’t resist!..............
Bad Badger............ But it is still funny.
That first one is a really great job of Photoshop!.............
When are they going to audit Huma’s “expenses” as Hill’s special agent with her foundation and as her handmaiden??
ROFLMAO! (Relax) Thanks.
We will enjoy hoisting Weiner up on a spit and making fun of him for a long time.
