Aidan Maese-Czeropski, 24, was let go from his job by Maryland\u00a0Senator Ben Cardin Saturday afternoon. It came less than a day after a video showing two men having sex in a Senate room was exposed. Their identities have not been revealed.<\/p>\n

He wrote:\u00a0‘This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgement, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters.’<\/p>\n
