Reid On Weiner: ‘I Wish I Could Defend Him But I Can’t’

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declined to say today whether embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) should step down following the revelations about his extracurricular social media adventures.

But Reid made it clear he was not going to stand up for Weiner, who was until very recently one of the most popular Democrats among the party faithful.

"I know Congressman Weiner," Reid said. "I wish there was someway I could defend him but I can't."

Reid declined repeated questions about whether or not Weiner should resign. Reid again dodged when asked by TPM what he tell Weiner to do if he asked him.

"Call somebody else," Reid said.

1. Defend him from what - he broke no laws, he did not lie under oath

If his lies are considered under oath, they (Congress)must all resign as they all lie and most do it on the floor of Congress.

2. Hey, Anthony. How about checking the bus's oil while you're under there?
