A collection of quotes by Anthony Weiner.

Anthony Weiner is an American politician and former member of the United States House of Representatives. Born on September 4, 1964, in Brooklyn, New York, Weiner developed an interest in politics during his college years at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. After receiving his law degree from Brooklyn Law School, he worked as a legislative assistant for Congressman Chuck Schumer, which marked the beginning of his political career.

Weiner first gained national attention when he won a seat in the House of Representatives for New York's 9th congressional district in 1998. He served in Congress for over a decade, focusing on issues such as healthcare, education, and transportation. Weiner quickly became known for his passionate speeches and media presence, earning him a reputation as a vocal advocate for progressive causes.

However, Weiner's political career suffered a significant setback in 2011 after a scandal involving his inappropriate online behavior emerged. Despite initially denying the allegations, he eventually admitted to sending explicit messages and photographs to women over social media platforms. This scandal led to his resignation from Congress and posed a significant blow to his reputation.

Since leaving politics, Weiner has worked as a consultant and commentator on various media outlets. His personal life and political downfall have been explored in documentaries and news articles, making him a divisive figure in American politics. Nonetheless, Weiner's career and public persona remain marked by his initial rise in Congress and the subsequent scandal that ended his political ambitions.
