Prepare for a rash of “Huma 2016” tweets if they haven’t arrived already. Anthony Weiner had his wife Huma by his side at today’s press conference, called to address new allegations of online affairs, and though she spoke softly and excused herself for never having given a press conference before, some watching ate up the performance and gave rave reviews to the “brave” woman who stuck by her cheating husband with the political aspirations. Something sounds familiar there.
Initial feelings Watching this. I feel for Anthony's wife Huma. Life and love is so complicated. I think she was brave. Thoughts?

Before you tweet terrible responses, consider H R Clinton. Possibly the next President.

She looked to be in terrible pain. Again, brave. Tough.

@morningmika brave and completely committed to him. If he gets to a runoff it is thanks to Huma's1st news conference appearance

Ugh. Anyone else want in on this?
Dana Bash declares Huma's remarks "extraordinary." That'll consume the media coverage. Cue the slobbering. http://t.co/GOhLXyHGO3

#Huma Abedin is an intelligent, brave, gorgeous class act. #AnthonyWeiner married up for sure. #CarlosDanger

@morningmika totally agree and I though Huma was speaking completely honest which is always a very brave thing to do in front of reporters

@morningmika #Huma is a graceful, brave, extraordinary woman. #weiner will always be an egotistical exhibitionist.

Agreed. I give Huma Abedin a lot of credit. This must be so difficult“@morningmika: She looked to be in terrible pain. Again, brave. Tough.”

Dancing vaginas, tampon earrings and now this. We’re never going to figure out this “strong feminist” thing.

I get from this that Dem women don't have a lot of self esteem @missADelgado This is what Mika had to say. Huma is "brave."

Also, Dem women will accept any humiliation to ride coattails into power @missADelgado This is what Mika had to say. Huma is "brave."

IMO, no, Huma isn't brave. Some women who will put up w anything, not out of love but out of what that union gives them: $$$ and/or status.

The "brave" thing for Huma to do? Reject that thing she's married to, have a press conf & tell girls everywhere to not put up w crap.

Update: The Hillarization begins. This is how it works, right?
So Huma at the very least gets one of New York's Senate seats out of this, right?
