Daily Q: June 9: ‘Weinergate’ Scandal

Lindenhurst Patch wants to know what local residents feel about everything from today’s important issues to the not so important. So Patch will ask Lindy residents to in this about a hot topic of the day.

Today’s question:

New York Representative Anthony Weiner recently admitted to lying about sending inappropriate photos of himself via Twitter and other online social media sites with six women during the last three years.

Weiner apologized to his wife, Huma Abedin, who’s now pregnant, and constituents during a news conference, but made it clear he’s no intention of resigning. The congressman said that he regrets his actions, but did nothing against the law, and didn't violate his oath of office.

So Patch was wondering:

• With another year-and-a-half left in his term, do you think Rep. Weiner should resign? Why or why not? And do you think there should be an ethics investigation?
