Weiner Page #4

- Good luck, Mr. Weiner.

- Great speech.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

- I think you can do it.

- Thank you.

Not bad, huh, bro?

Huh, I might have successfully

whistled past

the graveyard here.

And I'm back to doing

what I wanted to do.

And I always thought

I'd be a good candidate

and I always thought

I'd make a good mayor.

I remember once saying to Huma,

you know, it looks like

you know, that we're back.

We're back. It's back. You know?

How... how much,

how much sodium?

Six hundred

and fifty eight milligrams.

This is 340.

Hold on a second. Saturated fat?

- Point seven.

- Five.

Okay. Italian chopped

tomatoes.

Imported

Italian tomatoes. Next?

- Olive oil.

- Imported olive oil. Next?

Sugar.

Well, you went on and on

about having no sugar in this.

Sugar.

We don't have

any sugar in here.

And we're back to being treated

like candidates, you know?

I went through that bad thing

and now I'm, and now I'm back.

Not, I mean, with a completely

different identity.

And I'm getting all this

attention which wasn't, again

wasn't a terribly comfortable

place, but yeah.

I thought

it was going pretty well.

Are we going to see more of you

on the campaign trail?

I'm trying to figure out...

I'm a mom.

I've got my own life.

And I've got my husband.

I'm very proud of what he's doing.

So yeah, I want to help him.

How's your first day on

the campaign trail with Huma?

Well, she doesn't

consider it a date.

Alright, there you go.

- This is my wife, Huma.

- I know Huma too.

I wanna thank you for your loyal

service to Hillary. 2016.

We went out campaigning

a couple times.

She had a ball doing it.

We had kinda been living

in this defensive crouch

for a very long time..

...and getting out of that

felt right, felt good.

Que viva Colombia!

Huma! Huma!

Thank you for supporting him!

Forget about everybody else!

Bullshit everybody else!

Don't worry about it!

Good for you!

Breaking news just into our

newsroom in New York City.

The New York Mayoral candidate

Anthony Weiner

sent additional explicit photos

and texts to a woman online.

The new lewd correspondence

posted...

- Good afternoon, Weiner for

mayor. This is Michael speaking.

They led people to believe

he had put

all the sexting behind him...

- "The Dirty" just published

screen grabs

of what they allege

are sexually explicit...

- And that's exactly

what happened.

But the key question

is whether he engaged in his behavior?

How does Huma Abedin react?

When he vowed

to be a changed man.

Now the website, as we mentioned,

is called "Dirty."

I under, I understand.

The photos did take place

after he left Congress

July of 2012 about a year ago.

Okay. I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Okay, bye-bye.

What...?

Are we going to be going nuclear?

"This is absolutely not true

and this is f***ing ridiculous?"

Or is that not our strategy?

That is not going to be the strategy.

Not gonna be the strategy.

When in fact, he is actually

going to have

a press conference

in about 20 minutes

to discuss this, we presume,

and some other things.

Uh, but that is really

the key issue.

Of course he resigned

from Congress June of 2011

Alright.

I've been told that Anthony Weiner

is on his way upstairs at the moment.

We'll be hearing from him very soon.

Uh, could you move forward

a little bit?

If I do that, I'm gonna lose

my spot, so I'm not gonna..

He will arrive at this press conference

with his wife, Huma Abedin...

...who he has said has forgiven him.

Newly revealed messages are by far

the most explicit ones we've seen.

Some people are wondering

whether she might show up today.

The big question is whether

the allegations are true and..

Can you find Huma for me?

In this same window of time

there was one other person.

I said it was over

an extended period of time.

I never said

it started here and ended here.

F***! F*** me.

What number can they dial on?

You want me to dial it in?

No. Could you get

Huma back in please?

And then close the door and stay

on the other side of it for a while.

I just, I don't mean disrespectful, but

please leave me alone for a little while.

Do you know what the timing

of any of this is?

No, I don't.

- Not at all?

- I mean..

It's when we were talking about the...

...about separating.

So where are you on the statement?

I... I can't get through

to them on the telephone.

We keep getting interrupted.

Okay.

They think this is not

gonna work.

They think this is, whatever.

I... I don't know.

I'm like very anxious about you

and I being apart today.

Someone's gonna find you.

- Yeah.

- Unless we get someone on the f'ing phone.

Campaign office.

No, no, no, no.

Okay, Anthony's just

trying to get you on.

- Okay.

- Hi.

Well, you're, you're saying

that the timeline

is the problem with, again.

By the way, Huma's on the line also.

Okay, so go ahead.

Obviously.

Look, this is a continuum

of challenges in our marriage

that ended at a certain point

and we decided to move forward

with our lives

and that's, that...

that was a problem and now it's behind us.

And as we said, other things

would come out.

No.

Getting obviously, you know,

we're getting deluged.

Well, my head is at

try to sell this as something

that people already know.

- Hello?

- You guys still there?

Motherfuck..

Can we just have the room

for a second, you two guys.

Uh, good, uh, good afternoon.

My name is Anthony Weiner,

Democratic candidate

for mayor

of the City of New York.

Um, I have said that other texts

and photos were likely

to come out

and today they have.

Perhaps I'm surprised that more

things didn't come out sooner.

Some of these things happened

before my resignation.

Some of them happened after,

but the fact is that

that was also the time that my

wife and I were working through

some things in our marriage.

But I'm pleased and blessed

that she has given me

a second chance.

Huma has been out there with me

and she had a few words that she

wanted to say, so..

Um, my amazing wife Huma Abedin.

Hi, good evening.

This is the first time I've

spoken at a press conference and

um, you'll have to bear with me

'cause I'm very nervous.

And I wrote down

what I wanted to say.

When we faced this publicly

two years ago

it took a lot of work..

...and a whole lot of therapy..

...to get to a place

where I could forgive Anthony.

But I made the decision

that it was worth staying

in this marriage.

Anthony's made some

horrible mistakes..

...both before he resigned

from Congress and after.

But I do very strongly believe

that that is between us

and on our marriage.

So really what I want to say is,

I love him.

I have forgiven him.

I believe in him.

And as we have said

from the beginning

we are moving forward.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Why should we trust

your judgment?

Why? Why should we trust your

judgment?
