Edwards Won’t Address Enquirer Story
On Wednesday, however, the former U.S. senator, presidential candidate and 2004 vice-presidential nominee refused to answer questions that took a tabloid turn.
About a dozen reporters and photojournalists attended a speech Edwards gave to an AARP Foundation symposium on poverty and aging in Washington.
Afterward, he avoided a crowd of waiting reporters, at least some of whom wanted to question him about recent reports in the National Enquirer that alleged a sexual relationship between Edwards and a former campaign videographer and an ensuing coverup.
Citing unnamed sources, the Enquirer published a story in October claiming that Edwards was having an affair with a woman who had filmed a series of campaign videos, and that he had gotten her pregnant.
I told you Edwards was an absolute scumbag. Of course, that’s been obvious for far longer than the past couple of weeks. Any objective person who listened to this guy campaign for President over the past four years could hear the sleaze in his very words and actions.
What kind of a man goes out and has an affair with another woman while his wife is suffering from a fatal disease? People actually wanted this guy to be our President. Scary.
