Anthony Weiner, crisis expert, joins crisis PR firm
What do you do when you resigned from your congressional seat and lost your campaign for New York City mayor because you can't seem to stop sexting both on and off Twitter? Why, join a crisis public relations firm, of course!
Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, a.k.a. "Carlos Danger," has done exactly that, taking a position on the board of directors at MWW, a PR firm founded by a high-dollar Hillary Clinton supporter. Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, is top Clinton aide.
Weinergate reappeared in the news this past May when Weiner tweeted, "So this is what a PP looks like" while watching a hockey game. While "PP" was referring to a hockey power play, some less hockey-focused minds interpreted it in another way.
