Weiner appears to have lost the trust and goodwill of voters with latest revelation or fewer
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice . . .
The old adage seemed applicable yesterday to voters, who evinced an epic weariness of the scandal-fatigued Anthony Weiner and his sexting sideshow.
A few people vowed not to let the revelation that Weiner engaged in online liaisons even after he admitted doing so and resigned from Congress in 2011, affect their choice for mayor. But most said Weiner had now lost their goodwill and their votes.
Ken Phillips, 49, of Bed Stuy, said he was a Weiner supporter but has changed his mind. "I believe in second chances, but if you keep repeatedly doing the same thing, you're on your own: I'm not going to vote for a man with no self control and no self discipline," said Phillips. The sentiment was echoed by Leslie Jones of Bushwick, who said she didn't close doors on any candidate, but the latest revelation revealed a troubling immaturity. "The door's closed," to Weiner as her mayoral favorite, she said.
Hussain Jarju, 36, a messenger who lives in the Bronx, said Weiner lost his trust when the scandal first broke and he was not surprised by yesterday's news. "You could give me $1 million and I wouldn't vote for him," said Jarju.
But some people said a man could be a great politician while leading a less than exemplary private life.
"Your personal life is your personal life," said Louida Clinton, 76, from Brooklyn.
