Anthony Weiner's Ex: He Lied to Me
Daily Beast ^ | June 8, 2011 | Kirsten Powers

Posted on 06/08/2011 2:38:22 PM PDT by Kaslin

Anthony Weiner’s former girlfriend, Kirsten Powers, defended him on TV to millions of people after he insisted to her that he didn’t send lewd photos on Twitter. Now she takes him to task for his rampant misogyny—and says he must resign immediately.

Anthony Weiner lied to the country about his sexual misconduct online. He also lied to me.

I had been defending him, based on what he told me, but no more. Weiner must resign from Congress immediately.

This has not been my position previously during the scandal, but as I have recovered from the shock of seeing an old friend’s life unravel and have had time to get my mind around the extensive and sociopathic lying in which he engaged, there seems to be no other choice than for him to step aside and stop hurting his family, friends, and the Democratic Party. As more information trickles out about his online behavior with women, it has also become clear that he does not have the character to be in a position of leadership because of his misogynist view of women and predatory behavior.

My daughter was at an airport gate flying back to DC and they were there with their kids. My daughter said they were just wonderful to each other and to their children. Who knew?

Which can make one wonder. Is his schtick all an act? Would make him an even worse individual, LOL. I can't reconcile his crappy public persona with a warm and fuzzy private one.

Funny, she was on Imus yesterday morning after knowing the truth, saying everything the exact opposite as this article. Defending him, private matter etc... I think the gig is up and she is now yapping the emailed talking points. He’s finished.

My reaction exactly.

And my daughter is a good conservative like us...but she said they were relaxed together and terrific with their kids. Perhaps his public persona is just that...

Howdy philman. Don’t mean to crank up any extended dialog, but...

None of the dems including this airhead Kirsten give two hoots about their country. Its all about them and their power. Our problem is what do we do about that mindset and how do we show the voters the real democrats?

I’m sure I could convert her to conservasexuality.

I'm not sure if I could, but I'd be willing to give it the old college try.

For the good of the team, you understand.

Harry Reid would not say anything good about him yesterday...

They should ask the pervert senator who wrote Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them maybe he could stick up for the schmuck.

Are you asking for my opinion or are you asking a rhetorical question?

Liberated women claim that they DO NOT WANT TO BE CONSIDERED AS JUST SEXUAL OBJECTS. Yet, in the case of Weiner-- Liberal women have, and some still, keep defending this man who did nothing but use women as sexual objects.

His cyber relationships were for nothing but his own sexual excitement. He talked in ways to arouse himself and demeaned the woman with sexually suggestive comments and used their responses to achieve his own sexual thrill.

How any woman, who values womanhood, herself, and the idea that women should be more than an object for sex continue...how can they in any way... speak on behalf of this man?

This man is the typical low dwelling sexual predator beneath that DC swauve and expensive suit. This man is the typical abuser of women that women have, for the past 40 years, claimed that disgusts them. Yet still we have Dems/Libs like Pelosi, Babara Walters and her co-horts on the View who have not stood up and SCREAMED about how anti-woman this man has behaved and what a slap in the face of women and womanhood he has made. It makes me sick that these women are so ready to defend him simply because he is a Democrat that they will throw in the trash 40 years of women's' efforts to be recognized for more than sex.

Can you people in NY not use any better judgment of character than that?
C'mon, he represents NY City people - of course they're stupid.
On the other hand, I live in the 26th congressional district where the "smart" people just elected Democrat Kathy Hochul ... who doesn't even live in the district. (Sigh.)

In the past few years, we didn’t see each other or communicate much, though when my husband’s parents were recently trapped in Egypt during the revolution, he helped to connect me to his wife, Huma, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to facilitate their getting out.

Ms. Powers' ability to ever provide objective commentary on Fox is dubious at best. She has major IOU's to high level Democrats.

It would be funny if tweets from him showing his “thang” were found to have been sent to her.

People in NY don’t expect moral character; they want “programs” from the U.S. government to “trickle down” to them.
