Disgraced ex-congressman and convicted sex pest Anthony Weiner mulls return to NYC politics
Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner has his eyes on another political run — this time setting his sights on the New York City Council.
“I’m thinking about it. I’m wrestling with it,” Wiener, 60, said on his weekly 77WABC radio show Saturday, City & State New York reported.
“I love doing this job on the radio, but I want to be of service,” he said.
Weiner hasn’t held public office in more than a decade since he was ousted from his New York congressional seat in 2011 over a sexting scandal that involved several women and a minor.
Two years later, he was caught up in another sexting scandal while running for mayor.
After serving 21 months in prison for sexting a 15-year-old North Carolina girl, he was released in 2019 — and called himself “a very sick man” during his sentencing.
Weiner, who also went to rehab for sex addiction, was previously married to Huma Abedin, an aide to Hilary Clinton during her 2016 presidential run against Donald Trump.
When investigators searched his laptop over his sick messages — including selfies he sent when his then-4-year-old son was in the room, they discovered emails connected to the probe into the Democratic candidate’s email scandal.
The discovery led the FBI to reopen the investigation of Clinton, just days before the 2016 election — a move Clinton blamed for her stunning loss to Trump.
