Again judge -- an old saying that goes having a telephone politicians lying it doesn't pertain to my guest in the studio because his lips are moving.
But some -- transcend other lies -- congressman Weiner has funny complex web of them in his frenetic reaction to the Twitter scandal.
Will party pressure will Democratic Party pressure.
Of course congressman -- to step down so he isn't a distraction.
And doesn't -- Democrats and -- fights on Capitol Hill joining us now is New York Post column Fox News contributor.
Kirsten -- cures and it's always a pleasure.
Welcome here -- demeanor just just just sort of get this out of the way at the beginning before you were married -- before congressman -- Was married the -- of -- spent some time together you have some.
Thoughts and observations about him as a political analyst as well as having having been with him -- -- date.
Fair to say.
That we we dated for a few months Blake almost ten years ago so but we've been friends they've been friends you know we stayed friends after -- -- and so I've known him probably for about ten years.
Now -- upon your expertise as a democratic political analyst.
Is he likely to be such a distraction to the agenda of the Democrats on Capitol Hill that he ought to go rather than spare them.
The political cost of having to defend his right to stay in congress.
What he's definitely a distraction and as you know this is ethics probe that's coming up and then there's reports that they could subpoena the women with him he had contacts -- you know we can only assume.
Since he's lied so much that more information will come out and it will continue to feed this.
Media cycle and you know I think it will continue to be a distraction and I know that most Democrats want him to step down.
-- published a piece just a few hours ago.
In which he was a phrase like -- and I'm pretty much -- paraphrase it curious that so not trying to track here and ending -- trying to give it your that powers.
Language.
His misogynist view of women.
And predatory behavior disqualifies him from a position of leadership a fair summary of what you said in that piece.
Yeah -- well you know as it as many years of fox -- know I defended him at -- initially when this broke because he actually told me.
Quite Atlantic at how he didn't do it then they almost that he knew they were getting.
Then when it -- news in when he -- press conference I said well you know he shouldn't step down because I had nothing to do with his official.
Capacity which is might standard position on sex scandals -- markets -- Republican or -- Democrat -- since then.
More information has come out I also gotten a better handle on how much line one on not just to meet personally.
But you know it's just -- In in his it is media blitz this sort of says you past that line which is very very disturbing which makes you think pretty much everything he's gonna tell -- is not true you can't trust them -- his boss' credibility.
As for the misogynist are.
It's also become clear that he was -- on the Internet using FaceBook using Twitter.
-- to try and -- have this cyber sex relationships with women that is predatory.
You know and we don't even we know about the women who have a who -- consent consented -- this.
We can only assume of these other poor women who thought -- like congressman -- is is a great fighter for democratic values play and next you know he's asking them you know really inappropriate question we only -- a okay -- -- guide to either I was gonna say and then furthermore.
Transcripts were up publish and I can't even repeat what is in those transcripts I I find them to be misogynist.
We only have a few seconds left prediction does he resigned or does he dragged democratic leadership for a long prolonged ethics prosecution.
Based on -- -- know -- -- I would be shocked if he resigned and a eight he is not the kind of person.
Two to do that being -- congressman has everything to him.
And I think that he will drag it out as long as he can.
The only reason perhaps he was would it would resign as if he just thought that this local curve is over and need to do it but.
I think it's pretty clear he's gonna put himself first in this situation would you -- to resign.
I said that in my.
Column I initially told him that I didn't think he should resign but like I said as.
More information has come out yes I absolutely think about it Kirsten Powers it's always a pleasure your courage on this on this thanks my friend.
