‘MY POLITICAL CAREER IS PROBABLY OVER:’ Anthony Weiner admits he’s finished with public service
The disgraced former congressman and mayoral candidate confided to Politico that he’s most likely done in politics.
By Adam Edelman, October 21, 2014Anthony Weiner is done with politics.
The disgraced former congressman issued his surest statement yet that his career in public service is finished.
“Realistically, my political career is probably over,” Weiner told Politico.com in an interview published Tuesday. “The only job I ever wanted more than Congress was mayor, and I don’t think that either of those two jobs are going to be available.”
“So, no, it’s not like, ‘OK, how do I get back in?’ I’m not thinking that anymore. I think I kind of took my stab at that,” he added.
Weiner lost the New York Democratic mayoral primary in 2013 to Bill de Blasio — a highly publicized failed campaign that saw additional allegations of sexting against the former congressman emerge.
Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after admitting to sending and receiving explicit photos with several women online.
