Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) announced in a video message released Wednesday that he is launching a bid to become the next mayor of New York City.
In the video, which focuses heavily on Weiner’s family and middle class roots, Weiner acknowledges the sexting scandal that upended his congressional career in 2011.
“I made some big mistakes and I know I let a lot of people down, but I also learned some tough lessons,” Weiner said.
