More bad news -- for congressman Anthony Weiner and that naked crotch shot he took of himself is now all over the Internet.
Shock jocks Opie & Anthony got their hands on the photo -- tweeted it that snapped a shot of the picture from journalist Andrew -- part cellphone.
But -- -- says they did it without his permission.
As you know -- -- runs big government dot com the website the first reported congressman leaders Twitter scandal.
So what happens big government dot com editor -- bright side joins us.
And -- -- CEO and -- and how did this up picture -- the Internet.
Hi I went on the Opie & Anthony show I'm France was one of the guys on on their Jim Norton -- I just befriended.
Anthony the other night.
And I just decided before -- -- to the airport why not the stop in today for some hijinks before I get on the airport.
-- -- have to the airport -- I went in there did a long interview with them.
I thought everything went great it took a picture with me afterwards.
Com but during that the interview they asked me if they can see it.
I -- will make sure you don't show it to anyone and Jim Norton said there aren't any cameras here.
And so I I felt very comfortable.
-- that is not -- you know bad would happen with -- and next thing I know.
I found I found out that they surreptitiously.
Recorded it and tweeted out it's treated it on the Internet and then subsequently said.
Admitted that they did so without my permission.
And it's it's it's very troubling because for and an employee of serious sex -- you to say there are no cameras here.
And then you find out that there are cameras here and they're going against their word -- taping it it's deeply problematic.
I.
I know that you maintain the pictures because right of the story broke it first is that.
That there is an effort to make less severe or to -- discredit you.
When I was first denied that that he was they'd sent this picture on the Twitter the first and the one on the underwear that shot.
So I understand why you kept you kept the pictures down but.
Why me on your phone and I mean -- -- find out like 75 this pictures of my cats and dogs but why do you have this on your call phone.
It's because it was sent to me from the source.
-- I have I have all the photos were sent to me.
And -- email is how you get it and you read email and that's where it is so it's not like I had it up as out wallpaper.
Act fast car and -- -- now I'm glad that it kind of weird that press conference the other day what is he.
Honest borrowers that are more coming more information because I think he eat beans he's admitted to lie endings and this -- wet this press conference he says dissension -- -- coming clean.
I'm man straighten things -- was he honest.
At this point I don't know I mean you know he he said that there are only six women over -- the period that he's been doing this stuff.
Type of stuff online I think that he's put himself in quite a box there.
Especially when there's a series of girls -- many people pot have been trying to investigate.
I there was one point where he said he couldn't be certain that he had had.
Communications like this with underage girls he said that.
And what type of person can't say with certainty.
And those girls have yet to be totally export I think that's that's.
The next stage of this investigation is trying to find out who these girls that he was falling and these women.
They may have had active imaginations but they claimed to have had offline.
Communications -- with the congressman.
-- it seems today it's it's taken a new turn the story.
It the -- -- he set a marriage of short duration and whether they stick together or not.
Is their business but it's not like this is a marriage of twenty years not a sudden this is in it and many people thought there may be his wife will cut and run who knows.
But now the news tonight that -- is pregnant now which.
It now has gotten to it seems to me -- -- I'm much more unfortunate.
Dynamic do -- Well this information was selectively put out there abide by their camp and I think that.
It's probably a PR attempt to try and inject for -- do it because.
-- here that you when you hear who might you are sympathetic towards her when you hear whom and pregnancies start to feel a level of sympathy.
And so I I -- I my belief is that this is a ploy.
-- to make people not want to continue to report about what type of behavior.
He's been involved with you -- where there's smoke there's fire so.
I am I'm sorry that that she's going through this.
But he's put the country.
Into this position he's put the democratic parties into this position and we have every right to find out.
Ties to what extent he's been misbehaving.
And if congress really want to get to the bottom but if he doesn't resign as -- have an accelerated ethics investigation rather do it sort of in the ordinary course of business.
And they're perfectly capable of doing that so we'll see whether the Democrats or Republicans on the hill want to play politics and I wanna move it through investigated to see whether you should -- being disciplined or voted -- -- -- resigns.
Yeah all I can say about congress is that they've been conspicuously silent and you know I the American people are watching and on both the Republican side.
And the democrats' side there seem to be a lot of misbehaving guys who are putting themselves.
Into these compromising positions and I don't think it's just about the sex I think it's just about the blackmail and as you can see.
A congressman right now is fighting to keep his power trying to keep his job.
Can you imagine if one of these -- girls you know in Nevada for the porn star said hey you know what I want some legislation.
Past.
How about if you vote yes I even though your thinking now on that's.
I'm I think it just shows how easily compromised these guys are and how compromise -- -- they are.
And so I I'm glad the war and in this era of -- it's just about the sex.
Because when people in political power do these types of things they're putting everyone at risk.
And that I -- it -- takes -- and I blame the women just as much but the since it looks like get it was none of them it was him send him up easily eight of the weather -- their eyeballs a lot of bad behavior but I -- the last word on that and a thank you.
