Not sure what took so long, but state GOP Chairman Ed Cox, Queens GOP Chairman Phil Ragusa and Brooklyn GOP Chairman Craig Eaton say it's high time disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner refund campaign cash now that he's out of the picture due to his sexting scandal.
"Anthony Weiner has belatedly done the right thing for his constituents and for the country by resigning from the House of Representatives. There is, however, the issue of a reported $4 million campaign fund.? That money must be returned to the donors rather than be used for other political or personal purposes.
(Actually, according to the NYC Campaign Finance Board, Weiner has $4.9 million in the bank.)
"We sincerely hope Anthony Weiner is able to rebuild his life. He has said he is sorry for betraying the public's trust. The next step is to return the millions in campaign cash he is holds that was part of that trust. Any effort to keep the money would send wrong signal about his intentions and motivations."
"Mr. Weiner received those funds from people who believe he was working for the people - not doing what he did.
"If he cynically hoards this cash to spend as he sees fit it will be views as a further violation of that trust and that his resignation is only part of a political maneuver for future gain."
