Weiner cant say with certitude if Twit pics were of him
MSNBC is about to come out with what appears to be a terrific interview. Luke Russert was just asking Rep. Anthony Weiner questions about his controversial Tweet, and Weiner appears to actually be answering. Unfortunately, the live feed kept going out so we will have to wait for MSNBC to air the full video in a bit. In the mean time, we do know that Russert asked Weiner if the lewd pictures that were Tweeted from Weiners account to a young lady were of him. Weiner answered:
I cant say with certitude. My system was hacked. Pictures can be manipulated. Pictures can be dropped in and inserted.
It was a prank. Someone spoofed me, made fun of me whatever, he said, adding, this is not a national security matter.
The live video feed shut off at an inopportune time, but it looks like Russert will be out with a good interview in a bit
