In a revealing breakfast meeting, Anthony Weiner discussed his potential run for City Council despite a past marred by scandals including sexting and prison time. Once known for his political acumen, Weiner, at 60, is contemplating a return to public service. He believes his personal struggles with addiction do not reflect his capability as a congressman. Recent events in New York City spurred him to reconsider his role in politics, indicating a complex relationship with his past actions and future ambitions.
I struggle with addiction, and I know what it is. I manage it. No one of good faith, I think, made the argument that my acting out and my struggles had led me to be a bad congressman. I was really good at my job.
I had no belief [a return] was possible. But things happened in this city that made him start to see a place for himself.
