Straight outta 2010, this guy apparently thinks he still has a shot at political relevance:

Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner has filed to run for a seat on the New York City Council, launching a potential political comeback after his once-promising career was destroyed by sexting scandals and later a criminal conviction for having illicit online contact with a child.

Campaign finance records list a campaign committee that was set up on Friday for Weiner called Weiner 25, in addition to listing him as a candidate for a council seat in lower Manhattan.

Literally everyone in the political world right now:

This man can’t possibly think that we’ve forgotten his perverse, disgusting crimes that led to him being chucked in the slammer for nearly two years (and led to a permanent sex offender status to boot).

From 2019:

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner was ordered Friday to register as a sex offender as he nears the end of a 21-month prison sentence for having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl …

Weiner, 54, must register for a minimum of 20 years. He is required to verify his address every year, notify the state within 10 days of moving and visit a police station every three years to have a new picture taken.

Weiner pleaded guilty in May 2017 to transferring obscene material to a minor.

Prosecutors said he had a series of sexually explicit Skype and Snapchat exchanges with a North Carolina high school student and encouraged the teen to [I’m gonna stop it there].

Weiner has said he is “still exploring” the possible run and hasn’t “decided if I want to do this yet.”
