When Ben Cardin announced his impending retirement from the Senate in May, the Maryland Democrat expressed his “profound thanks” to “the most dedicated staff in all of Congress.” For one staffer, that dedication has been shown in unconventional ways.

On Friday afternoon, a report in the Spectator revealed that a Cardin aide maintained a public Twitter account to which he posted pornographic photos and videos, including one taken in a Senate hearing room. That staffer, a political operative with knowledge of the posts told the Washington Free Beacon, is Cardin legislative aide Aidan Maese-Czeropski, who reportedly posted obscene images under the pseudonym “Andre.”

As it turns out, the same staffer accosted Rep. Max Miller (R., Ohio) earlier this week and let loose an anti-Semitic rant, according to the congressman.
