Trump-Backed MAGA Senate Candidate Linked to Gay Hookup Site
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.

Looks like a staffer created the account as a prank and was only logged in once six months after it was created in 2017…
They’re right that “someone” used his email address. That someone, was likely him.
