Ohio’s Bernie Moreno is trying to blame someone else for his presence on the site.

The leading candidate in Ohio’s Republican Senate primary has been linked to a profile on a gay hookup website, sparking in-party fears that he could cost them the race.

Entrepreneur Bernie Moreno is one of three men running to face off against Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in the fall. So far, Moreno is the front-runner, and his far-right stances opposing abortion access and LGBTQ rights have earned him an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.

But in 2008, someone used Moreno’s email address to make an account seeking “Men for 1-on-1 sex” on the casual sex website Adult Friend Finder, the Associated Press reported late Thursday.

    Having a gay kid while hiding in the closet and being an open bigot towards gay people must be really hard… hopefully he suffers from the stress.

      I hope his kid realizes his dad is an asshole, I hope his kid cuts him out of life, I hope his kid lives a happy and successful life, I hope that his dad lives with regret until he dies.

        Or he could just lose the election, get out of politics and privately apologize to his son.

        As long as he isn’t elected.
