Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner's Wife, Isn't The First To Stand By Her Man

The one thing perhaps more surprising than New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner's admission that his sexting continued past his 2011 resignation from Congress? The fact that his wife, long-time Hilary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, would stand by his side.

"Anthony has made some horrible mistakes, both before he resigned from Congress and after," Abedin said at a press conference Tuesday. "But I do strongly believe that that is between us and our marriage. We discussed all of this before Anthony decided to run for mayor."

She added, "I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him, and as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward."

Abedin -- who penned a longer defense of her husband for Harper's Bazaar prior to this latest revelation -- is hardly the first political wife forced to decide if she would stand by her husband in the wake of a sex scandal.

Click through the slides below to see which political wives stood by their husbands' side at press conferences, and who stood aside and let their spouse face the press and public alone.

    Anthony Weiner's Wife, Huma Abedin: Mrs. Carlos Danger

    Assistant features editor Bari Weiss on why Huma Abedin is standing by Anthony Weiner.

  • Did Huma Abedin’s appearance with Anthony Weiner matter? Maybe not.

    Perhaps the most striking part of Anthony Weiner’s news conference Tuesday was that he wasn’t the only one who spoke. Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, vouched for her husband in no uncertain terms, after he acknowledged that he engaged in sexually explicit online conversations even after resigning from Congress.
    Turns out Abedin’s support did virtually nothing to help or hurt Weiner’s chances in the New York City mayor’s race, according to one survey.
    A WNBC/Marist/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday shows that three of four New York City Democrats (73 percent) said Abedin’s support makes no difference in how much they trust Weiner as a mayoral candidate. And nearly as many Democrats said her support makes it less likely (12 percent) they will trust him as said it makes them more likely (15 percent) to trust him as a candidate.
    The poll does not measure who did or did not watch the news conference, which was widely covered in local and national media. And the survey was conducted over just one day (Wednesday), a less-than-ideal sampling period.
    It’s also possible that Abedin’s appearance may function like an endorsement. People say they are not affected by them, but sometimes the effect is subconscious, or people don’t want to admit it.
    Time will tell what the ultimate effect is on Weiner’s image. But the early data show that the most unexpected part of Weiner’s news conference may also be the least consequential.

  • Sydney Leathers Apologizes To Huma Abedin After Reportedly $exting With Anthony Weiner

    Sydney Leathers, a 23-year-old woman who says she exchanged lewd text messages with New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, told Inside Edition's Jim Moret that she wants to apologize to Huma Abedin, Weiner's wife.

    "I just feel very, very sorry for my part and the pain that she obviously feels," the self-described "political junkie" said, through tears.

    Abedin offered her support for Weiner Tuesday, admitting their relationship has had "its ups and its downs" but concluding, "I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him and, as we have said since the beginning, we are moving forward."

    Leathers also said that Weiner had told her he loved her, and that she thought Weiner was jealous when other men posted comments on her Facebook photos.

    Weiner stated Tuesday that only some allegations against him are true, but would not elaborate.

    On Thursday, he admitting to engaging online with six to 10 women, including three after resigning from Congress.

    In light of recent revelations, Weiner's polling numbers have plummeted.

  • Grassley vows to dig deeper on Huma Abedin

    The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday that the State Department and Huma Abedin, the wife of former congressman Anthony Weiner, have put up “a stone wall” in the face of his inquiry about her final months at the agency, and vowed to continue raising questions about Abedin’s employment status.
    “So far, the State Department and Ms. Abedin haven’t provided a single document that I requested,” Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said in a statement. “Putting up a stone wall raises a lot more questions about how the program is being used than it answers. I intend to pursue more complete answers to my questions.”
    At issue is the employment status Abedin used at the State Department during the final eight months of her tenure there. Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, served as deputy chief of staff in then-Secretary Clinton’s office from early 2009 until June 2012, when she became a “Special Government Employee” for the remainder of her time at the department. She left the agency in February.
    Abedin’s new position allowed her to function as a contractor, continuing to work for the State Department as she also took on work for three outside clients: Clinton’s transition office, the William J. Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a company founded by Doug Band, who worked in the White House counsel’s office under Bill Clinton.
    Politico first reported Abedin’s change in employment status in May, prompting Grassley to ask

  • NY Post Cover Attacks Huma Abedin: 'What's Wrong With You?'

    The New York Post attacked Huma Abedin, the wife of New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, on its Thursday cover.

    Earlier this week, new details surfaced about Weiner continuously sending sexually explicit messages to women on the Internet, even after he resigned from Congress and sat for a redemptive People magazine spread with his wife and newborn son.

    To make matters even more ridiculous, Weiner reportedly used the alias Carlos Danger online. The name has been mocked everywhere and the Post ran a lackluster cover on Tuesday with the headline, "MEET CARLOS DANGER."

    On Wednesday, the Post seemed to step up its game from the day before, hitting a chord that the Associated Press and the New York Times had reported on as well -- how Abedin's loyalty to her husband has confused many New Yorkers. The Post, of course, was far more blunt. Take a look at the cover below.

  • Notes on Weiner's scandal: Huma Abedin in the spotlight

    Wow. The lead story in the New York Post Thursday morning does something that tabloid rarely does these days, which is makes you look twice and and ask friends if they saw it: Huma Abedin, snapped in the street looking slick and unsympathetic in shades and on her phone, with the headline:
    The colloquial idiom, unusually funny for the Post, crosses the line from mutterings about Abedin being loyal to a fault, which posher media have been issuing for days, to full-scale "blaming the victim" – shifting the focus to the wife, whose support of her husband at his toe-curling press conference this week was widely taken as Too Bloody Much.
    The narrative of Abedin-the-Saint and Weiner-the-Scoundrel has never been terribly convincing. Their joint PR drive to salvage his reputation prior to running for mayor was, even by the standards of these things, tediously smooth and nakedly cynical. Even at the time, with Weiner in full repentance mode, that New York Times interview with him three months ago presented as unpalatably calculating.

    Personally, I couldn't get much past the photo. It was supposed to illustrate the couple's solidarity, working together in their shared home office, but there was something off about the scene. It looked as if every scrap of furniture had been bought the week before in a mad dash around Crate and Barrel, as set-design for a reality show about two hollow people in pursuit of high office. (Although, on point,

  • Why is everyone turning on Huma Abedin?

    When Anthony Weiner derailed his political career the first time, back in 2011, his wife Huma Abedin was greeted with an outpouring of sympathy. The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, who pointedly declined to stand by her husband's side as he admitted to tweeting photos of his crotch to random women on the internet, was universally seen as a victim of her husband's sexual shenanigans. The only question surrounding the glamorous and whip-smart Abedin was: What on earth is she doing with him?

    The second time around has been quite different. This week, Abedin swooped down to try and rescue Weiner's campaign for mayor of New York City, after it emerged that Weiner continued to have raunchy online relationships with women after he resigned from Congress in disgrace. Now the questions about Abedin abound, including whether she should bear some responsibility for inflicting Weiner's sordid travails on the public. Once seen as a major asset to Weiner's campaign, Abedin is now being depicted as a calculating accomplice.

    David Weigel at Slate has little sympathy for the wife of the scandal-ridden former congressman. "Please spare us," writes Weigel. "Nobody forced Abedin to go along with the stories that Weiner had fallen from grace in 2011 and gone on to be a devoted, chastened husband."
    Media strategist Adam Weiss drives the Abedin backlash one step further, comparing Abedin to her former boss (who also
