Weiner Blames Reporter for Not Being Tough

Anthony Weiner told GQ that the New York Times Magazine writer who did a profile of him before launching his political comeback bid wasn’t “tough enough” on him.

Said Weiner: “The problem was that the story was completely different from what we thought would be written. I thought there’d be thousands of questions about the sexting. But there wasn’t a lot of conversation about that. We had a guy who wasn’t tough enough. We needed someone to just tear away at me. And not someone who would do something sympathetic.”
