Hillary Clinton's Trusted Aide Dumps Husband After He Sexted Selfie To Woman With Their Son In Bed
Vice chairman of Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign,Huma Abedin announced Monday she is dumping her sexting hubby Anthony Weiner, hours after The Post revealed his latest online dalliances.
“After long painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband,”
“Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what’s best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy.”she said in a statement
Abedin and Weiner have been married since 2010 and have a 4-year-old son, Jordan Zain Weiner.
Weiner, 51,Their lavish weddingceremony officiated by former President Bill Clinton.
Weiner was forced to leave office in summer 2011 after it was shown he sent provocative pictures of himself to women he met through Twitter.
He vowed not to make the same mistakes and re-entered politics two years later, launching a bid for New York City mayor.
But that campaign was doomed after a , 23-year-old Indiana woman named Sydney Leathers disclosed she’d had a racy online relationship with the still-sexting Weiner.
The horny former lawmaker used the alias Carlos Danger while swapping pictures with Leathers.
The Post reported Monday that Weiner was, incredibly, still at it with his dirty downloads and exchanging pictures with a sexy 40-something last year.
One of the picture showed a shirtless Weiner wearing pants and having an erection while his son lay next to him in bed.

Weiner wrote "someone just climbed into my bed" before sending the image of him in just a pair of underpants with his young son cuddling him.
The woman wrote back to him: “You realize you can see you[r] Weiner in that pic??”
Weiner deleted his popular Twitter account on Monday morning shortly after The Post report.Weiner’s soon-to-be ex-wife Abedin, 40, is one Hillary Clinton’s most trusted aides, and questions swirling around her horndog husband have been an ongoing embarrassment to the Democratic presidential nominee.

Clinton’s GOP rival Donald Trump offered backhanded praise for Abedin — which he used to clobber Clinton for allowing Weiner into her circle.
“Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him,” Trump said in a statement.
“I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information.”
He continued: “Who knows what he learned and who he told? It’s just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this.”The NY Post

Trump Is Encouraging Hate Groups, Says Clinton
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton Photo: AFP/ Robyn BECKHillary Clinton will paint her White House rival Donald Trump as the candidate of the far right on Thursday, claiming “a radical fringe” has taken over the Republican Party.
After releasing a hard-hitting ad that tethered Trump to the Ku Klux Klan, Clinton will use a speech in Reno, Nevada to argue he has brought racism to the political mainstream.
“From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia,” Clinton will say, according to excerpts released by her campaign.
“He’s taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America’s two major political parties.”
As Trump strives to temper his hardline anti-immigrant message in a bid to halt collapsing poll numbers, Clinton’s campaign has been at pains to remind voters of the New York tycoon’s more controversial views.
Trump has in the past described Mexicans as rapists and drug dealers, and vowed to round up illegal immigrants and build a wall on the southern border — for which he would make Mexico pay.
In New Hampshire on Thursday, Trump trashed Clinton’s claims about him and his supporters.
“She paints decent Americans as racists,” he said to angry jeers.
Clinton has accused “decent Americans who support this campaign, your campaign, of being racists, which we are not” he said to angry jeers from the crowd.
“It’s a tired, disgusting argument.”
Trump also accused Clinton of being behind a “vast criminal enterprise run out of the State Department,” suggesting that she had sold valuable access to those who donated to her family’s Clinton Foundation.

Endorsing Hillary Clinton By Reuben Abati
The way he is carrying on, indeed Trump may need a mental fitness test soon. By now, it must be clear to all and sundry, that he poses a great risk to the United States, to democracy and the liberal world.
I am however, surprised that there are Nigerians who insist that he is a better choice. I don’t think so. And don’t ask me why Nigerians should be so divided over another country’s election. The truth is that America’s Presidential election is a world election. There are millions of Nigerians and Africans living in the United States and even greater numbers hoping to visit, study or live in the United States. What happens in America affects the rest of the world. If a Trump Presidency happens, we are all in trouble.
What Trump stands for is anti-progress. It amounts to a fascist, authoritarian promotion of a brand of nationalism that defeats the objectives of inclusion and togetherness. But he says, “I’m really a nice guy believe me, I pride myself on being a nice guy but I‘m also passionate and determined to make our country great again” Nice guy? A nice guy who says he wants to build a wall to barricade Mexico. This nice guy couldn’t even stand the sight of a crying baby, interrupting his speech. He had to ask the poor mother to take her baby out of the room. Nice guy has been busy abusing the parents of an American soldier who died in action in Iraq. He doesn’t even believe that African Americans and other minorities should be allowed to vote. He says Mexicans are criminals and rapists.
This nice guy doesn’t want immigrants and Muslims in America. He talks down on women, Hispanics and blacks. He does not even believe that Black lives matter. He supports nuclear war because it would be “pretty quick” and he wants Japan and South Korea to have their own nuclear weapons. This nice guy is a fan of Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Putin. Affordable Care that allows more Americans to have access to quality healthcare is unacceptable to him. If he becomes President he will expel over 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, and put an end to birthright citizenship. Trump’s real ambition is to become an Emperor of the United States, and by extension the world. But sorry, America’s Constitutional traditions will not allow that. The American voter should deny him his dream.
That moment which President Barack Obama alluded to, when he said there must come a moment when a people must say thus far and no further has come: with Trump, yes. Which is why it is good news that he has been dropping in the polls, and the myth that he is unstoppable is exploding. Common sense is beginning to prevail in America. Like all politicians in his situation, Trump has become more aggressive and temperamental. He even says the election will be rigged. It is so easy to complain about rigging in an election that has not yet taken place, not so?
His supporters are even threatening that there will be “bloodbath” and “widespread civil disobedience” if he loses the election! Wait a moment: are there some Nigerians working for Trump, some Nigerian politicians teaching him dirty tricks? He should wake up: if he loses the election as he should, there will be dancing in the streets from New York to my mother’s village. Every vote against Trump, the man who wants to turn America away from the rest of the world, will be a vote for American progress. But his latest desperation sends one clear message: he should not be under-estimated. His blunt refusal to back the re-election of House Speaker Paul Ryan just shows the kind of man he is: vengeful.
The Republican establishment wants to dump him. Forget it. That is too late in the day and it is probably the surest way to further damage the GOP. And how about Trump himself throwing in the towel? No way! His campaign spokesperson, Hope Hicks has ruled this out saying, “There is no truth to this whatsoever.” Of course, he won’t. Megalomaniacs like Trump do not quit. He likes the limelight. He enjoys being a Presidential standard bearer. Even when it becomes clear that he will lose, Trump would keep trudging on. Defeat would still be a win-win for him in any case. He can subsequently milk his Presidential campaign for big profit: a book, a movie, another reality television show, or speaking engagements. And Trump will still push himself into our faces on television: no doubt, he would make a good, fictional President on television, but not in the White House. Yes, Mr. Trump, stay in the race.
Hillary Clinton is the acceptable choice. But it is unfortunate that the 2016 US Presidential election has been reduced to a strictly moral choice: who sounds more humane between the two candidates? It has also been reduced to emotions rather than the big issues: who makes us feel safe, and which candidate makes us nervous? Trump does not inspire with any of his incoherent ideas: what miracle can anyone expect from a Presidential candidate who says climate change is a “hoax”, specializes in abusing people, and believes that he needs bully tactics rather than ideas to win an important election. He combines this with make-believe strategies. But the American Presidency is not Trump Casino or Trump Steaks. Trump’s strongest point is his ability to exploit the fears of an alienated middle class that feels shortchanged by the American system.
He has accordingly, been very aggressive in labeling Hillary Clinton as a co-architect of this system and co-author of all the fears currently being entertained by average middle class Americans: fears about how the power elite and the rich are alienated from the people. Fears about spreading poverty and unemployment particularly in inner America. Fears about the continuing rise of a rich minority that continues to dominate American life, business and culture. Fears about the increasing influx of immigrants who bring problems of their own and take jobs meant for white Americans.
These fears are real and Trump, being the ultimate salesman and xenophobe is heaping all the blames on Hillary Clinton and the class she seemingly represents. He calls her “The Devil,” and now he says, she is “the founder of Isis”. Trump wants to be President for the sake of it. He wants to prove that he can be President. But he has no idea about governance and he really does not think governance matters. Hillary Clinton can win and should, but overwhelming international goodwill is not the thing. The current lead in the polls in Mrs Clinton’s favour may not be enough to discourage Trump, who is apparently far more desperate.
Offensive as his messaging process is, I repeat that he cannot be under-estimated in any way, and Hillary Clinton must not assume that victory is certain without the rigorous hard work that will stop Trump from getting to the Oval Office. She needs to allay the fears of the alienated and vulnerable Americans who actually suspect that she may be one of the many “Devils” in America. Trump must not be allowed to use Casino tactics to become America’s President. He is unfit.

Leonardo DiCaprio To Host Fund-Raiser For Hillary Clinton
Top Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio will host a lunch time fund-raiser for Democratic party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton with attendance to the fund-raiser costing a mind boggling $33,400 per person, according to Variety magazine.
According to the magazine, the star-studded event is billed for August 23 and has been titled "Conversation with Hillary" and invites were recently sent out.
Only $2,700 from the event will go to Hillary Clinton's campaign. The remainder of the money will
go to the Democratic National Committee and to state and local parties.
DiCaprio has attended Clinton fundraisers before, most recently in June, when he joined Jennifer
Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker at an event held at Harvey Weinstein’s New York home.
Last July he also contributed $2,700 to Clinton’s campaign, the highest donation allowed during the primary.

Sanders Blasts Trump, Urges Vote For Clinton
Donald TrumpBernie Sanders urged supporters Monday to vote for his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in order to bar Donald Trump’s path to the White House, slamming the Republican as a “demagogue.”
Sanders’ call – met with cheers and jeers from supporters – was the latest twist in the rocky run-up to the Democratic National Convention, with a party row over leaked emails disrupting Clinton’s bid to present a united front against Trump.
Clinton will make history on Thursday when she formally accepts the Democratic presidential nomination — the first woman to lead a major party’s White House ticket.
But two new polls showed Trump surging since his confirmation last week as the Republican presidential nominee, with a CNN poll putting him three points ahead of Clinton – a six-point post-convention bump.
“We have got to defeat Donald Trump. We have got to elect Hillary Clinton and (running mate) Tim Kaine,” Sanders told a gathering hours before the opening of the four-day convention in Philadelphia.
“Trump is a bully and a demagogue,” said the senator from Vermont, whose call to support Clinton was met with loud jeers and chants of “We want Bernie!”
Sanders lost the primary race, but after he endorsed Clinton – and with the party desperate to present a show of unity – he has been offered a prime speaking slot on Monday, along with popular liberal senator Elizabeth Warren.
The Democratic confab was to formally open at 4:00 pm (2000 GMT), but even before it began, the party was scrambling to contain the damage caused by thousands of leaked emails that showed its leaders had sought to undermine Sanders during his primary battle with Clinton.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was investigating the “cyber intrusion” at the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which the Clinton campaign blamed on Russian hackers bent on helping Trump.
The agency said in a statement it was “working to determine the nature and scope of the matter.”
– ‘Shame!’ –
Anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks at the weekend released nearly 20,000 emails from between January 2015 and May 2016, gleaned by hackers who apparently raided the accounts of seven DNC leaders.
At least two of the messages showed senior committee members were keen to undermine the Sanders campaign by seeking to raise questions about his faith and Jewish heritage.
DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz abruptly announced her resignation on Sunday, effective at the end of the convention.
But frustrations about the crisis boiled over Monday when delegates loudly booed her as she addressed a Florida delegation breakfast.
Delegates chanted “Shame!” and held up laser-printed signs that simply read “E-mails.”
Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman, had stubbornly insisted she would still open and close the convention, but after the reception she got early Monday, she reversed course.
“I have decided that in the interest of making sure that we can start the Democratic convention on a high note that I am not going to gavel in the convention,” Wasserman Schultz told the Sun Sentinel newspaper.
– ‘We need to move on’ –
Her about-face marked the latest effort by Democrats to steady a rocky ship after a hard-fought primary campaign.
The party is seeking to project a more unified message than the Republicans did at their convention last week in Cleveland, where fissures over Trump’s candidacy were laid bare.
“The Democrats are in a total meltdown,” Trump taunted on Twitter. “E-mails say the rigged system is alive & well!”
Trump has long sought to scoop up disaffected voters who feel Sanders — a self-described democratic socialist — was denied a fair shot at the nomination.
Sanders had long sought Wasserman Schultz’s resignation, and her impartiality was further called into question by the leaks.
After she stepped down, Sanders said she “has made the right decision for the future of the Democratic Party.”
Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook on Monday sought to deflect questions about the row.
“Our party is coming together here to unify to elect Hillary Clinton and defeat Donald Trump, and that’s what you’re going to see today,” he said.
But on the event’s periphery, concern persisted.
“We need to move on. This is about unity,” Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf told CNN.
Democrats “continue to have disagreements within the party,” he added. “At the end of the day, we’re going to have to unite to defeat Donald Trump in November. If we don’t unite we’re not going to win.”
– First lady takes the podium –
Sanders and First Lady Michelle Obama headline the first day of the Democratic convention.
Recently added to Monday’s program is Warren, whose support for Clinton could help convince skeptical left-wing voters to get behind the nominee.
Thousands of pro-Sanders protesters have gathered in Philadelphia, with the largest demonstration expected Monday.
Many in the Sanders camp have also voiced disappointment with Clinton’s choice of center-left running mate Kaine, a senator from Virginia, instead of a more liberal firebrand like Warren.
Former president Bill Clinton is the star speaker at the convention Tuesday, while President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden take the stage Wednesday.
