GOP ex-congressman (Aaron Schock) caught on tape in Mexican gay bar

Disgraced anti-gay former Republican Congressman Aaron Schock is utterly and completely straight. Why would you ask such a question?

(snip)
After a string of you-might-as-well-come-out-already moments, Schock has been filmed stuffing dollars into a stripper’s undies in a Mexico City gay bar. It does not appear to be the first time the former legislator has shown his appreciation for the male physique.

“The last person I would expect to see in Boy Bar is a former Republican congressman,” the person who filmed Schock handing out the bills told The Daily Mail. “I was taking a video of the go-go dancer on stage and all of a sudden I saw him. He looked like he was enjoying himself.”

The former Congressman was spotted having lunch at the National Museum of Anthropology’s cafe with an unnamed young male companion the day before.
