New York mayoral candidate and former congressman Anthony Weiner said that some sexually tinged online chats that were published by a gossip website happened after his resignation from Congress in 2011.
Standing by his side, his wife publicly backed Weiner and his run for mayor. "What I want to say is: I love him. I have forgiven him. I believe in him and as I have said from the beginning, we are moving forward," Huma Abedin said at a news conference.
Weiner said people have a right to "say whatever they want" and that he is not prepared to "dispute anything that is out there," but added that he accepted "responsibility" for his actions.
