Also from Morning Joe this a.m., Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., said that the White House is letting the White House bribe allegations by Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., get out of control. He said the White House needs to come forward with information about what conversations actually occurred.
Sestak, while running a primary against establishment favorite Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., alleged that the White House offered him a job in the administration if he would drop out of the race. At the time, the allegation and Sestak’s refusal to name names made him seem high-minded and principled. But now that he is the Democratic nominee and has the White House’s backing, his evasive answers on the topic are damaging.
As Weiner points out in the clip below, the very fact that people are discussing Sestak’s allegation is a sign that the White House should be making the relevant information public in order to stem the damage.
