As “God Hates the Democratic Party Week” continues:
Former presidential candidate John Edwards abandoned his long denial that he had fathered a child during an affair with a campaign aide and admitted today that he is the father of the almost 2-year-old girl.
“I am Quinn’s father,” Edwards said in the bombshell statement this morning. “I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves.”
The former senator and presidential hopeful had an affair with campaign cinematographer Rielle Hunter, 45, and she later give birth to Frances Quinn.
Edwards’ admission comes a week before the man who had claimed he was the baby’s father, former aide Andrew Young, was scheduled to appear in an exclusive interview on “20/20″.
In an excerpt from his upcoming interview with ABC News’s Bob Woodruff, Young alleges that Edwards asked him to arrange a fake a paternity test.
“Get a doctor to fake the DNA results,” Young said Edwards told him. “And he asked me … to steal a diaper from the baby so he could secretly do a DNA test to find out if this [was] indeed his child.”
To recap:
“I did not have sex with that woman”? A lie. He did.
“I did have sex with that woman, but the baby can’t be mine because that would mean I was having extramarital sex while my wife was battling cancer”? A lie. He did.
“I’d gladly take a paternity test to prove the baby isn’t mine”? A lie. He wouldn’t and it is.
Hey, I understand that people cheat. Edwards isn’t the first. He was just an especially big heel about it. He’s also a big TV preacher style hypocrite who enjoys shaking his finger at other people and informing them what Jesus would think while helping himself to whatever pleasures he desires.
