Danny Kedem- Anthony Weiner’s campaign manager resigns
On Sunday 28th July, Anthony Weiner’s campaign manager resigned after all the scandal about sexting. Danny Kedem was a campaign controller for Hilary Clinton in her campaign in 2006 also. This is a loss to Anthony now, as he has to spearhead the campaign himself. Things are not looking good in all fronts. When interviewed about New York Daily News whether he is still sexting, his responses were:
Q. Is there yet another woman’s shoe about to drop in this campaign?
A. I have no idea. These are people who I thought were friends, people I trusted when I communicated with them. But who knows what they might do now. But none of it is new. It’s all old stuff. So I’ll be in this race for at least the next 44 days. And I think I can win.
Q. There is no one you are sexting now?
A. You can quibble about beginnings, middles and ends but what we’re talking about is over a year ago.

American people and pundits are comparing this situation to that of Bill Clinton’s sexual scandals back in 1990’s. Because its sex and politics, that is only where the comparisons can be found. Although like Hilary Clinton, Huma Abedin says she will stand by her man through all these allegations. Major difference in this case is, Bill Clinton was president of America at the time and the World was listening.
Should people in politics get the same backlash as a non-political person would in this kind of scenario?
