"when you gotta go, you gotta go."
While the phrase presents a casual way of expressing the urgency or inevitability of a situation, usually referring to the need to use the restroom.
But this time, it can also be used to describe a situation between two men, when they really have to go intimate, in public, in their workspace, which is funded by the citizen of America.
A U.S. Senate staffer, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, allegedly caught filming himself having sexual intercourse with another man, inside a Judiciary Committee hearing room.
The roughly eight seconds of gay sex allegedly took place in Room 216 in the Hart Senate Office Building, the same room where nominees to the Supreme Court are grilled by senators.
The room was also the place where former FBI director James Comey once testified about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
When the sex tape was leaked to the public and became viral, this costs Aidan Maese-Czeropski his job.
"Aidan Maese-Czeropski no longer has his job," said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Maryland) on X.
"Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate. We will have no further comment on this personnel matter," a Cardin spokeswoman added.
After the video went viral, Maese-Czeropski addressed this issue in a public statement.
"This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda," the man said, after he parted ways with Cardin's office, a day after allegations of personal sexual misconduct began circulating.
"While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgement, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace," he wrote.
Maese-Czeropski posted this on his Linkedin account, explaining about the difficulties he was experiencing as a result of the allegations.
But because his face is clearly visible in the video, the U.S. Capitol Police swiftly launched a probe into potential criminal violations committed by the 24-year-old legislative aide.
"Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters. As for the accusations regarding Congressman Max Miller, I have never seen the congressman and had no opportunity or cause to yell or confront him."
Maese-Czeropski has been a part of Cardin's congressional team for the last two years, according to his Linkedin profile.
Cardin announced in May that he planned to retire after spending more than five decades in politics. He was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1966 and served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 20 years.
Maese-Czeropski previously was featured in an advertisement for President Joe Biden.
