Bill and Hillary Clinton will not support Anthony Weiner in his dream of becoming mayor even though they love his wife, Huma Abedin, sources say.
“The Clintons wish Weiner would just disappear. Every time he pops up, it’s a reminder of Bill’s scandal with Monica Lewinsky, and it isn’t helpful to Hillary’s hopes for 2016,” one Democrat told Page Six.
Abedin has worked for the former US senator and secretary of state for many years, and traveled with her as her “body woman,” her closest aide.
It is believed that Abedin is still on the Clintons’ payroll although she isn’t working at the Clinton Foundation.
Abedin will no doubt be one of Hillary’s first hires for her presidential campaign team.
“The Clintons love Huma. She has a job for life, no matter how much of an embarrassment her husband is,” said our source. “Hillary considers her to be another daughter.”
Another nail in Weiner's campaign coffin.
You may have wondered why it has taken so long for Weiner to decide whether he is going to run for mayor or not.
It has been over a month since his media roll-out in the Times.
Surely if he were going to run for mayor, he would have announced quickly on the heels of that interview and the others he gave at the time.
But so far, no announcement.
Perhaps it is because the Clintons will not support his bid.
No Clintons, no money, no Weiner for mayor.
