The Dem Staffer Who Got Busted for Gay Sex in Senate Hearing Room Had a History of Vulgar Posts

The weekend was filled with palace intrigue when a staffer for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) got busted for having gay sex in a Senate hearing room. The graphic video leaked, leading to some hilarious reactions on social media and a public relations nightmare for the Cardin office. The staffer was fired in less than 24 hours after this circus was made public.

Next is whether this act could land Cardin's aid in legal trouble.
