Weiner: 'I apologize to Andrew Breitbart' Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) doled out his first apologies to his wife and his constituents, but also apologized to the media and to Andrew Breitbart specifically during a long and rambling press conference in which he seemed determined to answer every last reporters question.
Breitbart had demanded an apology a few minutes before from the same podium, where he climbed after Weiner did not show up on time to his own press conference. Id like an apology from him, Breitbart said. This was his strategy, to blame me so Im here for some vindication. Breitbart said he lost his Memorial Day weekend to fending off accusations that he had been the one to hack Weiners Twitter account, after Weiner tried to distance himself from the lewd tweet that appeared there and was later picked up by Breitbarts website by claiming he had been hacked. He claimed to have one more photo that he would not release because it was too vulgar. Im trying to do the decent thing here and not release the photo, he said, hinting that such restraint might be tested if Weiner continued to suggest he had been hacked, allowing his supporters to continue to cast blame on Breitbart. Weiner chose a strategy of total media prostration though he was firm in his refusal to resign. I dont know what I was thinking, he said. This was destructive thing to do. I apologize for doing it. After being asked several times, he apologized directly to the media, and to the man who had unexpectedly served as his warm-up act. I apologize to Andrew Breitbart, Weiner said.
