Democrat senator's staffer reportedly recorded himself having gay sex inside US Capitol building and posted videos online

A Democrat senator's staffer reportedly recorded himself having homosexual sex inside a room at the U.S. Capitol.

The graphic pornographic video was obtained by the Daily Caller and published Friday after the Spectator reported that an unnamed staffer to Democrat Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland was posting the sexually explicit images and videos to social media.

One video appears to be from a conference room in the Hart Senate Office Building, where Cardin's office is located.

A spokesperson for Cardin's office did respond to a request for a comment from the Washington Examiner.

Cardin was first elected as a U.S. senator from Maryland in 2007, and prior to that, he served for 20 years in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In 2018, Cardin released a statement firmly supporting LGBTQ rights.

“During Pride month and throughout the year, we embrace the certainty that love is love and you should never have to hide your true self. LGBT individuals are our neighbors, our parents and our children," read the long statement in part.

“We must be free to love whomever we love, without fear of discrimination or bias," he added.

A similar story unfolded in the election for a delegate race that would help determine control of the House of Delegates in Virginia. Democrat candidate Susanna Gibson was seen as a strong competitor in the race until it was leaked that she had posted videos of herself committing sexually explicit acts online in exchange for monetary "tips."

Support for Gibson cratered after the revelation, and she lost the race to a Republican candidate. She later claimed that Republicans had committed a criminal act by circulating the explicit videos in order to damage her political campaign. She said she will run for office again.
