And she confirms that Rep. Weiner asked to her to lie about their private communications, although she says she never engaged in “sexting” with the Congressman:
Rep. Anthony Weiner is running out of allies. Even his stripper penpal is calling for his resignation.
Ginger Lee, a former porn actress who currently works as a “feature dancer” in nightclubs, said today that Weiner tried several times to engage her in sexual communication but that she never took the bait.
Lee held a press conference in New York City, accompanied by her lawyer Gloria Allred, who said Lee had “gone into hiding” after the Weiner scandal broke to avoid having to lie to protect the New York Democrat. The two said Weiner first contacted Lee this March, after she wrote flattering things about him on her blog.
Weiner is under intense pressure to quit after he admitted inappropriate online relationships with several women over the past three years. Many Democratic colleagues are hoping he resigns now that his wife, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has returned from an overseas trip.
Allred estimated that Weiner and Lee exchanged about 100 messages via email and Twitter from March until two weeks ago. She said the few that were sexual in nature were all sent by Weiner.
“I did not ‘sext’ him…any time he took it in that direction, I changed the subject,” Lee said, reading from a prepared statement. The slight, young blond woman said that when she started interacting with Weiner “it was about politics.”
And in other Rep. Weiner news, the National Enquirer has discovered a picture allegedly of Rep. Weiner in a bra and pantyhose:
