Carlos Danger donations shrink
[NYDAILYNEWS] Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner's
...aka Hot Dog Tony , the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City...
campaign fund-raising has virtually dried up since revelations of a sexting relapse rocked his bid for mayor.
Weiner (inset) received an average of just $1,897 a day in donations since the new sexting scandal erupted July 23, campaign finance records released Friday show.
Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, collected no money on his behalf since the new sexting allegations emerged, after she collected nearly $150,000 in the first 50 days of his candidacy.
Weiner's campaign reeled in $821,706 in the first 50 days of his candidacy. But from July 24 through Aug. 5, Team Weiner took in a measly $24,014, the records show.
Despite the diminished fund-raising, Weiner still has a $6.17 million war chest, which includes more than $4 million raised before he quit Congress plus $1.46 million received under the city's campaign finance program.
