Weiner Continues Sexting During Apology



After seeing the candidate snap a photo of the pants region and then send a text, reporters bombarded Mr. Weiner with questions, asking him if he had in fact just sexted.

“Yes, I did, but I swear this was the last time,” he said. “This behavior is now behind me.”

Mr. Weiner then concluded his press conference by removing his shirt and snapping a quick shot of his naked torso.
