Following a report in a local newspaper about several videos that were uploaded to his personal Snapchat account and later sent to other media sources, State Representative Aaron Bernstine made a statement about those videos and their content on Rappin’ With The Reps to host Eddy Crow.

“I was wrong and took things too far when joking with my son and his friends over July 4th weekend, there’s no doubt about that,” said Bernstine. “They were private videos sent directly to friends…someone who I thought was a friend took those videos and sent them to the media, and I apologize. I apologize to my family, I apologize to the constituents, and I’ll do better moving forward.”

The videos showed, among other things, Bernstine inviting his son to smoke a cigar and the use of several profane phrases. The Snapchat account has since been deleted.

Bernstine has been the Representative for District 10 since 2016, and is currently running as incumbent versus Democrat Kolbe Cole of Beaver Falls and United Party member Jonathan Peffer of Franklin Township.
