George Santos bullies gay Senate staffer in vile homophobic rants

Disgraced out Rep. George Santos (R-NY) posted an angry tirade directed at former Senate staffer Aidan Maese-Czeropski over allegations that the latter had sex on video in a Senate hearing room.

Maese-Czeropski, who used to work for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) but was just fired, denied the allegations and posted a message to social media where he said that the allegation is part of a “political agenda.” He added that he is “exploring” his “legal options” against his accusers. Additionally, the far-right website Daily Caller accused him of yelling “Free Palestine” at Jewish Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), which he also denied. Maese-Czeropski said that he has “been attacked for who I love.”

Will Cain said the media should focus not on the anti-immigrant words of the likely GOP presidential candidate, but on the actions of an ex-Senate aide.

That set Santos off.

“Having sex in a United States government building and filming it is the reason you got heat,” Santos ranted on X. “You being gay and having gay sex NO BODY gives a rats ass…”

“No one is perusing a political agenda, we are just disgusted about your VILE behavior as a staffer to a United States senator. Now you do put a new definition to ‘F**k around and find out’!”

Then, despite saying that “NO BODY” is attacking Maese-Czeropski for being gay, Santos attacked him with a demeaning phrase based on his sexuality: “the Democrats favorite sloppy bottom.”

It’s unclear exactly what set Santos off. He’s not a particular fan of Rep. Miller; Miller accused Santos of stealing from him, and Santos responded by calling Miller a “woman-beater” on the House floor. Miller was one of the House Republicans who voted to expel Santos.

Santos has, at times, implied that his critics are simply homophobic, like when he accused Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) of criticizing him because he’s “a Latino gay man.” Santos’s ally, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), also said that “the real reason they’re attacking George Santos is that he the first openly gay Republican elected.”

Santos was also accused of sexual misconduct while in Congress.

But Santos didn’t stop attacking Maese-Czeropski. In a later post, he called the alleged sex tape “the most vile and unimaginable thing [that] took place in our nations Capitol.” He also called it a “planned SexErection,” a reference to the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Santos has said that he gave money to the insurrectionists in the past and he spoke at the “Stop the Steal” rally on January 5, 2021 in D.C., where he wore an allegedly stolen scarf.

On December 15 2023 the most vile and unimaginable thing took place in our nations Capitol it was an organized and well planned SexErection.

Our nation will take many years to recover while we open an investigation to get to the “bottom” of these events leading up to the…

In another tweet from Saturday, Santos further harassed Maese-Czeropski by linking his X bio and telling him to “update your bio,” which still says that he’s a Senate staffer. Maese-Czeropski hasn’t posted on X since May.

“I think you need to redo your victimized apology and just own up to the fact that you “F**KED” up… in the most literal sense possible,” Santos wrote.

As a member of Congress, Santos cosponsored a bill to roll back LGBTQ+ civil rights and a bill to ban LGBTQ+ books from schools. He made public statements against transgender people and the so-called “radical rainbow mafia.” He also said that LGBTQ+ families “create troubled individuals.”

Hey @Aidanmaesec you need to update your bio.

Also I think you need to redo your victimized apology and just own up to the fact that you “FUCKED” up… in the most literal sense possible.
