In May 2011, then-Rep. Anthony Weiner became embroiled in a scandal when he tweeted a sexually suggestive picture of himself, leading to his resignation the following month.
The “if” is far bigger than Anthony Weiner’s dangerous appetite for sexting, but the failed mayoral candidate says he’d be mayor if it weren’t for the Internet.
“Maybe if the Internet didn’t exist? Like, if I was running in 1955? I’d probably get elected mayor,” Weiner said, wishing it were the era of Robert Wagner Jr. in an interview for GQ magazine’s November issue.
