“This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda. I’m concerned about our staff and the way that they feel about this and the Senate staff.” Cardin’s office confirmed that the staffer is no longer employed with the Senate.Ī man named Aidan Maese-Czeropski, presumably the now-unemployed staffer, posted on LinkedIn: It’s a tragic situation and it’s presented a lot of anger and frustration. “I was angry, disappointed,” he told reporters. The staffer allegedly in the video no longer has his job. Two men apparently used the most inner sanctums of American power to engage in sex. Several senators have said: The Hart Senate Office Building is for government relations, not intimate ones hanky-panky is a hard no. The video was initially leaked to the Daily Caller (with the video’s naughty bits covered with an unsubtle rendering of the Capitol dome) and then splattered across headlines in the rest of the US political media. The question is, why are we still talking about it?
The story (if you haven’t heard, a Senate staffer was fired after a video was made public of someone having sex in a Senate hearing room) is sordid and entertaining enough that it’s easy to understand why the press was on it like a dog with a bone.
