GOP Senate Candidate in Ohio Linked to Adult Website

March 14, 2024 at 8:13 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“For Republicans eager to regain the Senate majority this year, Ohio offers a prime opportunity to pick up a critical seat,” the AP reports.

“But ahead of Tuesday’s primary election, there’s mounting anxiety inside the GOP that Bernie Moreno may emerge with the nomination. After vaulting into the top tier of contenders with a coveted endorsement from Donald Trump, Moreno — who has shifted from a public supporter of LGBTQ rights to a hardline opponent — is confronting questions about the existence of a 2008 profile seeking ‘Men for 1-on-1 sex’ on a casual sexual encounters website called Adult Friend Finder.”

From a profile with the username nardo19672: “Hi, looking for young guys to have fun with while traveling.”

“The AP review confirmed that someone with access to Moreno’s email account created the profile, though the AP could not definitively confirm whether it was created by Moreno himself.”

Axios: Trump and Senate Democrats unite to boost Bernie Moreno in Ohio.
