This isn’t the first time Wiener has faced questions over his actions. He was cleared in an investigation (paywall) last year after a female staffer in the county complained that he sexually harassed her by complimenting her on her looks and making jokes like “Did you know that the (County Commission) now has a Wiener and a Johnson on it?” He acknowledged making the joke but said he didn’t mean for it to be sexual.
Wiener was also forced to apologize in 2010 after sending out an email with a joke that “makes reference to President Barack Obama, African-Americans, showers and prisons,” according to another New Mexico television station.
