A Democratic congressional staffer was fired after being filmed in a sex tape in a Senate hearing room. NBC’s response to The Daily Caller’s reporting on the matter has sparked controversy online, particularly from conservatives.
The staffer, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, was identified as one of the individuals in the video.
The senator’s office confirmed the staffer’s departure without further comment. (Trending: Bud Light Gets Bad News Ahead of Christmas)

“While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace,” Maese-Czeropski wrote.
“Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters.”
“Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate,” Cardin’s office stated.
“We will have no further comment on this personnel matter.”
The media’s coverage of the incident was criticized for downplaying the staffer’s actions and emphasizing the conservative reaction.
“Sen. Ben Cardin’s office has parted ways with a staffer who conservative news outlets alleged was shown in a leaked video having sex in a Senate hearing room,” NBC wrote.
“On Friday, The Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet, published what it said was video showing a congressional staffer having ‘sex with an unknown man in the Senate hearing room.’ It added that the video was shared ‘in a private group for gay men in politics,'” NBC added.
“Conservative outlets then alleged that Maese-Czeropski, a legislative aide for Cardin, was one of the men in the video.”
The authenticity of the video and the identities of the participants were not confirmed by NBC News.
The staffer’s vague apology on LinkedIn suggested involvement in the video.
The media’s coverage was accused of bias in favor of Democrats.
