No. Honestly, it’s he and his ardent supporters who think this anything about his sexual orientation is ugly. He should not take advantage of these sex workers while supporting completely discriminatory policies in his office. The hypocrisy has to end. He and his supporters are the ones who have a problem with the truth. That’s on them.

If the dirt is only that he hired sex workers, it really wasn’t worth his dramatic change from a nevertrumper to being Trump’s biggest toadie. There has to be something else to it. Everyone already expected as much.

Now... RELEASE THE TAPES!!!

Let’s begin this one in the 1980s, when a young Lindsey Graham first served with the Judge Advocate General’s Corps—the military legal service—in the U.S. Air Force. During some of that time, Graham was based in what was then West Germany, on the cutting edge of America’s Cold War efforts. Graham, born and raised in a small town in South Carolina, was devoted to the military: After both of his parents died when he was in his 20s, he got himself and his younger sister through college with the help of an ROTC stipend and then an Air Force salary. He stayed in the Reserves for two decades, even while in the Senate, sometimes journeying to Iraq or Afghanistan to serve as a short-term reserve officer. “The Air Force has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me,” he said in 2015. “It gave me a purpose bigger than myself. It put me in the company of patriots.” Through most of his years in the Senate, Graham, alongside his close friend John McCain, was a spokesperson for a strong military, and for a vision of America as a democratic leader abroad. He also supported a vigorous notion of democracy at home. In his 2014 reelection campaign, he ran as a maverick and a centrist, telling The Atlantic that jousting with the Tea Party was “more fun than any time I’ve been in politics.” ...



Both Graham and Romney had presidential ambitions; Graham staged his own short-lived presidential campaign in 2015 (justified on the grounds that “the world is falling apart”). Both men were loyal members of the Republican Party, skeptical of the party’s radical and conspiratorial fringe. Both men reacted to the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump with real anger, and no wonder: In different ways, Trump’s values undermined their own. Graham had dedicated his career to an idea of U.S. leadership around the world—whereas Trump was offering an “America First” doctrine that would turn out to mean “me and my friends first.” Romney was an excellent businessman with a strong record as a public servant—whereas Trump inherited wealth, went bankrupt more than once, created nothing of value, and had no governing record at all. Both Graham and Romney were devoted to America’s democratic traditions and to the ideals of honesty, accountability, and transparency in public life—all of which Trump scorned.


Both were vocal in their disapproval of Trump. Before the election, Graham called him a “jackass,” a “nutjob,” and a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.” He seemed unhappy, even depressed, by the election: I happened to see him at a conference in Europe in the spring of 2016, and he spoke in monosyllables, if at all.

I always assumed that because the flip flop on Trump was so extreme, he must be diddling little boys. If it just turns out to be sex workers, meh.

This isn’t an outing. Everyone knows he’s gay. This is about revealing the fact that a US senator is clearly blackmailed. It’s a national security issue.

He’s nicknamed Miz Lindsey for crying out loud. And it’s definitely a national security issue, and it’s OBVIOUS that he’s being blackmailed. The vocally nati-Trump guy goes golfing with Donnie one day and comes back vocally pro-trump? Come on. That dog don’t hunt.

Interesting that this comes out at the same time that the Senate Judiciary Committee is about to issue subpoenas.

I agree with this, even though it is ugly. I've always had a soft spot for LG. As a small town, conservative, Christian Southerner, he's probably always been tortured by his sexuality. Since defecting to the Trump side, there has been something kind of desperate and frantic in his demeanor. I assumed intense fear of blackmail. That explanation just rings more true to me than a cynical belief that he wants to be popular or close to power. Especially when you consider how close a friend he always was to Joe Biden. There is that video clip of him choking up when talking to a reporter shortly after Beau died, saying of Joe Biden, "God couldn't make a better man."

My dream scenario would be that LG gets exposed, figures he might as well dish on Trump and the Russian kompromat regime thereby becoming a hero to some liberals and still reviled by others, goes through a hellish period of self-reflection, achieves self-acceptance, and finds a lovely man to spend the rest of his life with. The End.

I'm sure the Evangelicals will give him a mulligan. Oh wait, no.. that's only reserved for Trump.

It's interesting what they say about Lindsey.
Some people, many people actually, a lot of the top people,
They call him Miz Lindsey.
And now they're saying Lady G.

Lady G is what they're saying.
They're saying Lady G.

So we'll see. We'll see what happens.
