Top Democrat Distances Himself From Weiner

By Phillip Bunnell

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was pressed by reporters today over what disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) should do now that he has confessed to sending explicit photos of himself to young women over the internet.

In a press conference yesterday, Weiner admitted to his wrongdoing, but said that he would not resign from office. 

Reid said that he “wished” he could defend Weiner, but said “I can’t.”  When asked what he would tell Weiner if the Congressman called for advice, Reid said he would tell him to “call somebody else.”
