Gennette Cordova, the Seattle woman on the receiving end of Anthony Weiner’s crotch Twitpic, finally details her story in an interview with the Seattle Times – saying she didn’t even believe the photo was real.
It was nearly 9 p.m. on a Friday when Cordova, preparing to head out for the night with a friend, logged onto Twitter and discovered that Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., had sent her a suggestive photo of himself in gray boxer briefs.
“It didn’t make any sense,” Cordova, a 21-year-old Seattle woman and student at Whatcom Community College, said in her first extensive interview since Weiner confessed in a news conference Monday to sending her the photo. “I figured it must have been a fake.”
Cordova’s experience with Weiner appears to fit a pattern: In rapid and reckless fashion, he sought to transform informal online conversations about politics and policy into sexually charged exchanges, often laced with racy language and explicit images.
Cordova, who had text-messaged with Weiner about their shared concern over his conservative critics, said she never had sent him anything provocative. Asked if she was taken aback by Weiner’s decision to send the photo, she responded, “Oh gosh, yes.”
House leaders on Wednesday began a concerted effort to persuade Weiner to step down, worried that the sensational coverage of his online sexual liaisons with at least six women over a three-year period had become a distraction and was subjecting the Democratic Party to ridicule.
The women who have acknowledged encountering Weiner on social media and then having personal communications with him varied in age, race and location, and even in their willingness to engage the congressman in sexual discourse. In each case, however, Weiner’s online conduct in many ways mirrored that of his offline life — aggressive, blunt, feisty and willing to push boundaries with an apparent disregard for possible consequences.
