Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the aide to Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MA) who filmed himself having sex on the Senate floor, was fired less than 24 hours after the video emerged. The senator's office confirmed this in statements to the New York Post, where they clarified that they would not make any further comments on the situation. The young man worked for approximately two years in the Senate.
The scandal broke out on Friday afternoon when a video of two men having sexual relations in room SD-G50 of the Senate, where senators usually hold hearings, went viral. Separately, a photograph related to the incident appeared, in which one of those involved can be seen in a compromising position and wearing lingerie on one of the desks.
The event did not take long to impact Capitol Hill, first with the reactions of some congressmen. For example, Mike Collins (R-GA) spoke about it on his X account, formerly known as Twitter.
Heck of a week for the Left. Gay porn in the Senate, swearing in ceremony on child porn in Virginia, tranny tap dancers in the White House, and Satanic statues in Iowa.

"Heck of a week for the Left. Gay porn in the Senate, swearing in ceremony on child porn in Virginia, tranny tap dancers in the White House, and Satanic statues in Iowa," the congressman wrote.
The situation was resolved quickly since Sen. Cardin's office, who will retire at the end of his term, reported that the person involved no longer works in his office. "Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate. We will have no further comment on this personnel matter," they told the New York Post.

The video was disseminated initially through a private chat intended for homosexual men in the political sphere and was later obtained by the aforementioned media.
Maese-Czeropski worked in the Senate for two years and spent time at Berkeley and Johns Hopkins University. At the same time, it is not the first time he received national attention this week, as it was also confirmed that he was the one who shouted "Free Palestine!" to Congressman Miller of Ohio.
