dana bash, i go to you first. i know anthony weiner is out and about. our cameras caught up with him today saying this isn t about me, this is about the economy, education. clearly he s trying to keep the focus, trying, the operative word, to keep the focus on the issues. how is that working? reporter: we ll see. he hasn t had any public events yet. i m currently at case university in the downtown part of manhattan. he is going to have an event here on housing. later tonight he s going to go to another borough, the bronx, to talk about education. he s very much trying to keep his public schedule as if nothing ever happened yesterday. as if the dirty.com, you can t make this up, the dirty.com published these photographs of him and these sexts that he had exchanges with, a 22-year-old woman, apparently, a year ago, a year after he resigned from congress. in his comments to cnn and other reporters who caught up with him right outside of his house this morning, he not only talked about t
and good evening, everyone. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight we begin with the breaking news. new revelations and shocking revelations in the anthony weiner sexting scandal. in what can only be described as a stunning news conference. truly this is an incredible event that just happened in american politics, and i am not exaggerating here. anthony weiner walked out there from behind that cube with his wife, huma abedin at his side. he went before cameras just an hour ago to address allegations that appeared on the website. like i said, everyone, you cannot make this up, the dirty.com. this website had reported that weiner used an anonymous handle, carlos danger, to exchange sexually explicit photos and messages with a 22-year-old young woman for six months after his scandal, after he resigned from congress. i want to play for you weiner s statement.
resigned from congress in 2011? i can t i can t say exactly. sometime last summer, i think. sometime last summer. that, of course, would be the summer of 2012. he resigned in june of 2011. that would be more than a year after he resigned from congress due to a sexting scandal and said it wouldn t happen again. does this threaten anthony weiner s big political comeback and his run for mayor in the biggest city nft united states, new york city. out front down, john avlon, john with the daily beast and jeff gardier, clinical psychologist. this was almost impossible to imagine. there was a revelation from the website, the dirty, jeff, andy thought, okay, website, the dirty, what do you know, people have allegations all the time. then he announces this press conference and then he comes out and says not only is it true, but yes, i was doing it more than a year after i resigned, after i patched things up with
messages and the disruption that this has caused as my wife and i have said, we are focused on moving forward. we are attempting to get more of those photographs as much as we re almost afraid to see what s in them. there were questions, though, as to when this exactly happened. he did apologize and say he was seeking help and he publicly admitted his wrongdoings. we also have to note that of course this is someone who was running for mayor of new york city. and up until the most recent polls, he was polling pretty well. he possibly had a very good chance. how this will affect that or not, he thought he was healed at least he tried to convince the new york city public that he was the healed man and was making it up to his wife and trying to move on. so this is coming obviously at a horrible time for his political career. we ll have to wait and see what more comes out of this. julie, thanks. i ve taent liberty of going to the dirty.com and at the dirty.com, the well, the headline is
