Really, Anthony? Disgraced sexter Weiner 'accidentally' liked a Tweet about hook up app Tinder

Anthony Weiner has gotten into another awkward social media situation after a reporter noticed that he had 'favorited' a tweet about Tinder.

The infamous former congressman whose downfall came when he unintentionally shared a photo of his genitals has now claimed that he 'accidentally' liked the article about the popular hook up app.

Buzzfeed took a screen grab of the original tweet posted by Vox reporter Matt Yglesias on June 5, which shared a link to their story about how Tinder 'will now be the ultimate sext machine'.

Damage control: The former congressman tried to explain his latest blunder

Today, two Buzzfeed reporters noticed that Weiner was among the six Twitter users who favorited the article.

When asked for comment, Weiner claimed that the awkward sign of approval was just another social media slip up on his part.

'There were a bunch of favorites there that I didn’t either didn’t recognize or mean to favorite. I'm 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,' he told the site.



Moments later, he scrubbed his Twitter history so that it appeared that he had only favorited one Tweet as opposed to the 27 favorites he had earlier in the day.

Before he deleted his favoriting history, The Village Voice reports that there were at least six instances where he liked photos of a buxom brunette in California.

One of the photos that he liked showed the woman, who uses the Instagram handle ParisDylan550, 'Fresh out the showaaa' wearing a pair of purple underwear and no pants. She posted the photo early Friday meaning that he would have liked the photo at some point this morning.

The disgraced Democrat tried to get in on the joke after the Buzzfeed article was published.

'In related news, I did buy 1000 shares of Tinder stock,' he wrote Friday afternoon.



'Ok, to recap my day. I accidentally hit the star thingy on a @voxdotcom story about Tinder. Sorry.'

The article in question described how Tinder, an app where users match based on their profiles, has added a new feature where people can send one another photos that disappear after a certain period of time similar to Snapchat.
