Weiner was asked about Andrew Breitbart, a conservative who had materialized before the news conference and implied he had an X-rated photo of the congressman.
(ABC News) – As an increasing number of his fellow Democrats have been calling for his ouster, Rep. Anthony Weiner is dealing with the aftermath of his online sexting scandal, including news that an alleged X-rated photo of the Democratic congressman has hit the Internet.
After Virginia Governor Tim Kaine called for Weiner to resign on Tuesday, other high profile Democrats have joined in the chorus, including Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Penn), the top-ranked House Democrat to publically call on Weiner to resign, Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Niki Tsongas (D-Mass.), Mike Ross (D-Ark.), Larry Kissell (D-N.C.) and Michael Michaud (D-Maine).
“Having the respect of your constituents is fundamental for a Member of Congress,” Schwartz said in a statement. “In light of Anthony Weiner’s offensive behavior online, he should resign.” Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., became the first Democratic senators to call for Weiner’s resignation.
Meanwhile, the public learned that Weiner’s wife is three months pregnant with their first child. Abedin, say friends and colleagues, still believes she can salvage his political career and wants to help him do that. She has been leaning on and getting advice from her boss, Hillary Clinton, and her sister, say friends.
