Weiner calls lewd photo on Twitter a ‘distraction’ - The Washington Post

Weiner calls lewd photo on Twitter a ‘distraction’ - The Washington Post

After the photos were deleted, Weiner indicated on Twitter that his account had been hacked, and he jokingly brushed off the incident. A spokesman said Sunday that Weiner “doesn’t know” the Seattle student, Genette Nicole Cordova.

Cordova told the New York Daily News in a statement late Sunday that she thought the tweet was sent from a hacker who “had harassed me many times after the Congressman followed me on Twitter a month or so ago.”

“Since I had dealt with this person and his cohorts before, I assumed that the tweet and the picture were their latest attempts at defaming the Congressman and harassing his supporters,” Cordova said.
