Anthony Weiner’s campaign chief quit because he was blindsided by revelations that his boss had continued his online sexcapades after resigning from Congress in disgrace, sources told The Post yesterday.
Danny Kedem bolted Camp Carlos Danger over the weekend because the peter-tweeter pol hadn’t been completely upfront with him and other staffers.
“[Danny] left because he was unaware that Anthony had continued to do this past his resignation, and it caught him by surprise,” a source close to the Weiner campaign said. “The timeline didn’t match up to what he was told it was going to be.”
Weiner warned his troops, including Kedem — who was hired in May — that there could be more salacious revelations coming, sources said.
But he didn’t disclose that he had continued to exchange sexually explicit texts, photos and phone calls with women for more than a year after his June 2011 resignation, during a time when Weiner claimed to be seeking help and said he’d changed his lewd ways.
Kedem and his colleagues learned about Weiner’s six-month, post-resignation illicit assignation with sextpot Sydney Leathers last week, along with the rest of the world.
During his raunchy exchanges with Leathers, the wacky Weiner referred to himself as Carlos Danger.

Weiner then copped to having traded sexually explicit messages with at least three women after he resigned.
“We all operated from the same theory that if there was more of the same that it wouldn’t be a material issue,” a Democrat operative said, noting that staffers and supporters were under the assumption that any dirt would date back to the original sext scandal.
“It would have taken actual personal [sexual] contact or something meaningfully different for it to matter. And nobody anticipated the difference of timeline.”
Kedem yesterday declined to discuss the reasons for his abrupt departure.
“It’s safe to say that it’s a sinking ship, and why associate yourself with something that wasn’t going to turn out well?” another source said.
Weiner brushed off Kedem’s resignation as he campaigned yesterday at Brownsville Community Baptist Church in Brooklyn.
“We have an amazing staff, but this isn’t about the people on the campaign,” Weiner insisted. “It’s about the people we’re working for.”
He boasted that his staff has had to deal “with a presidential level of scrutiny.”
Weiner’s principal challenger, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, yesterday said he’s not fit to hold the country’s most high-profile municipal job.
“He’s disqualified himself,” Quinn told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I don’t think he should be mayor, and I think the voters, if he stays in the race, will make that very clear.”
David Axelrod, a former top adviser to President Obama and a pal of Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, added, “At this point, it’s absurd. He is not going to be the next mayor of New York.”
Veteran CBS newsman Bob Schieffer called Weiner “sickening.”
“He is a new-age flasher who has traded the traditional raincoat that can be opened to show his wares for a digital camera that enables him to expose himself to the world,” he added.
