Former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) told GQ he’s less sensitive than his wife Huma Abedin when it comes to questions and rumors about the state of their marriage.

“I duck it as best I can,” Weiner said. “But her reputation has become the Woman Who Married an Idiot and Stuck with Him. More of it rolls off my back, because that’s the way I am constitutionally. She’s more sensitive.”

“I’m just an empty, soulless vessel, so it doesn’t hurt me as much,” Weiner continued.

GQ writer Marshall Sella said Weiner’s “soulless” remark was delivered “with an utter lack of humor.”
