Continues To Cling To Weiner Campaign Cash, Stand By Lewd New York Rep

As he continues to posture himself on a wide variety of issues in advance of a tough reelection battle, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) has remained conspicuously silent on the explosive controversy regarding his friend, campaign benefactor, and colleague U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) lewd online behavior.

In the face of Republican calls for Weiner’s resignation, Casey’s fellow Democrats Betty Sutton (D-OH) and Tim Walz (D-MN) dumped thousands of dollars in campaign cash they took from Weiner, and former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine is now calling for Weiner’s resignation.  But Casey continues to hold on to the $1,000 in campaign cash he took from Weiner, standing by his friend Weiner despite growing outcry against his conduct.

“Apparently Bob Casey isn’t especially disturbed by his friend Anthony Weiner’s behavior, because he continues to stand by Weiner and hold on to his scandal-plagued colleague’s campaign cash,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond.
