Opinion: Time for Weiner to Go

Wednesday, 24 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Both the New York Daily News and the New York Times both say Anthony Weiner needs to resign. This comes a day after it was revealed that the mayoral hopeful was still sending explicit messages in 2012, a year after he left the House to deal with his…issues. Despite the revelation, Weiner says he will continue his run. The Times says “to those who know his arrogance and have grown tired of the tawdry saga he has dragged the city into, this is not surprising.”

The Daily News is more blunt: “Weiner must also see that, having built his campaign on deception, he has badly damaged the process of selecting the city’s next chief executive.”
