You’d think former Rep. Anthony Weiner would try to avoid anything with the word “sexting” like the plague. After all, it was a sexting scandal that pushed him out of office in 2011. But recently, Weiner found himself trying to explain why he would favorite a tweet that claimed “Tinder will now be the ultimate sext machine.” It was a tweet by former Slate staffer Matt Yglesias, who is now Vox’s executive editor, and included a link to a piece about a new photo feature in the dating app.

@mattyglesias WoW @anthonyweiner still doin THAT thing! RT @BuzzFeedAndrew This tweet was favorited by Anthony Weiner http://t.co/uxAts2wnmG — Melania de Vil Knavs (@holly_obama) June 13, 2014

Buzzfeed asked Weiner about it, and he said it was all an accident:

“there were a bunch of favorites there that I didn’t either didn’t recognize or mean to favorite. im not clear on how they got marked in the first place but I assume hit the little star thing accidentally as I scrolled through stuff.”

Weiner then went back on Twitter to make fun of the whole situation:
