> **[Anthony Weiner sent sexually explicit messages to 15-year-old, report says](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/21/anthony-weiner-sexually-explicit-messages-teen-daily-mail)** > > The ex-politician asked her to undress and masturbate over video chat, as well as engage in rape fantasies among plethora of erotic exchanges, Daily Mail reports I’m a little skeptical of the Daily Mail, but it’s being picked up by the Guardian so maybe there’s a shred of credibility to it. Weiner is reported to have had highly illegal online communication with a teenager. Thank Christ this is coming out after Huma Abedin already separated from him. ---

Saw this. Uggh. Sad to see the incredible self-destruction and self-delusion of an otherwise intelligent person, and sadder to see the possibility that he may have hurt people beyond just his family. ---

Has anyone else here _not_ gotten a dick pic from him? I’m feeling singled-out, neglected. ☹ ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Has anyone else here _not_ gotten a dick pic from him? > > I’m feeling singled-out, neglected. ☹ Well, I’m a dude, so not the target market. Dunno why you haven’t gotten one though! He might have not figured out mass texts and is sending them individually. I’m sure yours is on the way. 😃 ---

Dear Mr. Weiner, I advise you to reveal any damaging secrets about Hillary Clinton that you may know given the close relationship your wife Huma has with her. A Trump administration will make sure your rights are not violated. Otherwise Hillary Clinton will bury you. PCP ---

Sad to see the incredible self-destruction and self-delusion of an otherwise intelligent person, and sadder to see the possibility that he may have hurt people beyond just his family. It’s obviously some kind of compulsion. I hope they can use this latest news to keep him away from his kids. ---

I feel sorry for the guy. I mean, who would ever have thought something like would become public? I thought all emails and text messages were securely kept out of the hands of the media. This new revelation that they are not is very disturbing, and could foreshadow the downfall of other politicians!! ---

Yours (or mine) are unlikely to become public because (no offense) no one gives a shit. But, seriously, how the hell did he think he was not going to get caught using his real name and real picture and everyone being on the lookout to catch him again. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > He can’t – Huma’s Muslim Brotherhood overlords will kill him… and if they don’t, then Hillary’s space-lizard overlords will. The whole thing is a PSYOP. Look closely at the photos— it’s not even his bulge. Just some crisis erector. ---

He may actually do jail time for this contact with a minor. Sad. His marriage is over, his career options are over. All shrinking away like a frightened turtle. ---

It sucks because I actually think that his passion (as a Congressman) was uniquely genuine. ---

I think it’s pretty clear now that his \*actual \* passion is about being in the public gaze. ---

I don’t disagree, but I don’t think that this is mutually exclusive to actually wanting to change the country for the better, which I feel like, as a Congressman, he did. That doesn’t change the fact that he turned out to be a total creep, just makes it a lot more disappointing. ---
