In announcing that he will resign from Congress on Thursday, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was heckled as he addressed the media at a press conference in his New York district.

"I'm here again today to apologize for the mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused," said the embattled lawmaker, who had become embroiled in an online sexual controversy. "Today I am announcing my resignation from Congress."

Cheers from some in attendance could be heard as Weiner announced he was stepping down from his post. My Fox NY relays what happened next as the New York Democrat continued making his remarks:

Huma Abedin, Weiner's wife and a close adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, did not appear alongside her husband at the press conference.

    Online sex tu,hakuwahi hata kukutana nao hao wanawake lakini imebidi kujiuzuru kwa aibu yake, familia ya nchi yake-maana kama huwezi kuongoza familia yako utawezaje kuwaongoza wengine?je hapa kwetu tunajifunza nini?
    Hapa Bongo sio kuwa mahusiano ni kwenye mstari(online) ni laivu,maana ni kila kona na hasa kwenye vilabu na mabaa.
    Kuna baadhi ya viongozi wana kashfa kubwa sana ukiachia hii ya huyu jamaa na uthibitisho upo,kwa mfano Richmond,Radar,Dowans,Songa,nk nk lakini sijasikia hata siku moja wamejiuzuru kwa manufaa ya umma.
    Tuwajibike jamani na sio tunagombania tu uongozi kila leo,uongozi ni jukumu kubwa kwa tunao waongoza.
