GOP Chair Demands Weiner Resign

The chairman of the Republican party says Rep. Anthony Weiner should resign after admitting he sent a lewd photo of himself on Twitter to a woman and then lied about it repeatedly. Reince Priebus says in a statement that either House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz believe that members of Congress are held to a different standard, or they believe the congressman's actions demand his departure from the House. Weiner vowed on Monday he would not resign his seat, and apologized repeatedly at a news conference for his actions/Associated Press. More here. (Associated Press photo)
