Sen. Brown just said on MSNBC he saw a maskless, screaming Lindsay Graham berate a CP officer

[StarfishSaver]

during the siege for not doing enough to protect him and his colleagues.

[Cha]

1. Get your fucking Mask on, especially

when you're Not doing enough to Protect against the trump VIRUS, Graham!

[bullimiami]

2. Misdirected anger. Coward.

[AnnieBW]

3. Lindsay Was In the Military

As he likes to remind everyone. Several military vets were helping their colleagues to safety.

[rlexx]

28. Was A JAG

[progressoid]

33. He IS a jagoff.

[The Polack MSgt]

34. This is especially accurate around where I grew up

since Jag is short for Jagoff and Jagoff is the official insult of SW PA and northern WV

[Progressive Jones]

39. It's a Chicago thing, too. I just read an article about it. The article cited Pittsburgh & Chicago.

[Submariner]

35. Lindsey was an in the rear with the gear desk mammal

[Disaffected]

4. Profiles in Courage

[Irish_Dem]

5. Snowflake extraordinaire. nt

[dem4decades]

6. Fucking guy pours gas on the fire for years berates fireman for not putting fire out with a water

Pistol

[demtenjeep]

7. a shit starter that starts shit then yells fight

then sits back and watches

[Blue Owl]

8. Hey Lindsey...

[BlueIdaho]

9. The cop should have shot Lady G.

A justifiable use of force.

[marble falls]

12. What's with the gay/trans slam??? How does that make him any worse of a criminal?

[BlueIdaho]

14. That is how he is known in DC.

It’s an open secret.

[marble falls]

15. Seriously. Its alright to use gay/trans/misogynistic slurs as long as someone in DC is using ...

... them? It may be 'common knowledge' but it don't it make it so.

There was 'common knowledge' that Hillary Clinton was part of a child trafficking at a pizza parlor in New York, too.

Lindsey may or may not be gay, trans, or a woman; but he is a criminal. He no worse a criminal either for being or not being gay, trans or a woman.

[crimycarny]

17. The gay/trans community themselves use this term to refer to Lindsey Graham

Because he is a hypocrite of the worst order with his treatment of gay/trans issues. So they often refer to him as Lady G to point out his hypocrisy. In fact, I think it was the gay community who coined this term for Lindsey. It’s not a slam on gays or trans, it’s a slam on Lindsey’s hypocrisy.

[marble falls]

19. Yeah and my black friends refer to each other as 'n.....r', but I sure wouldn't try it.

[DallasNE]

20. And Blacks Use The "N" Word All Of The Time

So that doesn't mean I am going to use the "N" word. Same principle applies.

[marble falls]

22. Thankyou.

[StarfishSaver]

42. Works for me.

[birdographer]

23. Looking for offenses where there are none.

He is known in DC as Lady G, mostly by gay/trans escorts and prostitutes. He earned the name when doing business with them.
Sometimes nicknames are nicknames, not intentional slurs. Lighten up?

[sheshe2]

43. Yes.

he is a hypocrite of the worst order with his treatment of gay/trans issues. So they often refer to him as Lady G to point out his hypocrisy. In fact, I think it was the gay community who coined this term for Lindsey.

That does not mean that you should.

[sheshe2]

44. Welp.

I can say that I can be bitchie at times. I can be, but do not dare call me one. That is a slur. It is.

Gay men preform on stage and call themselves Lady whatever. Some just go by Cher or Liza. You do it, then it is a slur. It is.

As for the N word? They can call themselves whatever they please. You do it it is in fact a slur. It is.

Don't do it. It is unexceptionable.

I grew up, summers in a very gay community. My parents and aunt and uncle danced at gay bars, they were very straight. Never once heard them call a man Lady B, they called him Brian.

[crimycarny]

45. Welp, opposite for me

Again, we’re talking about calling Lindsey Graham Lady G, not any random gay or trans person. K? One guy.

If I called Lindsey Graham by his name versus Lady G in front of my gay friends, who will only refer to graham as Lady G, they would look at me like I was nuts. They much prefer Lady G...He has not deserved the courtesy of using his given name as far as they (and I) are concerned.

We are conflating calling a single man a nickname given to him by the community he hurts with carte Blanche calling random or anonymous gay/trans “Lady”.

False equivalency

[padfun]

18. My gay friend calls him Lady G

just saying

[marble falls]

21. Do you call your gay friend "Lady " and and make fun of him/her for it? Just saying.

[padfun]

27. I would if she kissed Trumps Ass

[marble falls]

30. Slurring people is wrong. And you let your dislike of Graham make you forget that.

[padfun]

32. Look, I get it.

You're sensitive about being gay. But here in Northern California we don't worry about these things. It's quite normal here.

She likes me to call her "Queen D" and I don't get all bent out of shape about it. I have gone to some of the gay clubs with her and I don't drink. I actually think they have more fun than us married straight guys.

But to answer your original statement, Graham has always been known as Lady G. For at least a decade. It's what many call him. It isn't a slur as much as it is a nickname. Even the queens call him Lady G.

[BannonsLiver]

25. Few would have complained.

[StarfishSaver]

29. It sure would have been more than enough for some people to justify a white cop shooting a black man

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. Man, there are a lot of force fetishists on this board.

[marble falls]

10. Fucking asshole. Retire, Lindsey.

[malaise]

11. He should have called Trump

He helped this to happen

[bullwinkle428]

13. Explains why he was drunk off his ass later that night.

[LaMouffette]

16. Sure, he berates a CP officer who he knows will not fight back, but he skulks through the

airport surrounded by angry Trump humpers, and he's too much of a coward to defend himself.

Plus, PLUS, Graham has spent the last four years not defending US against the monster that is Donald Trump.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. I could've guessed, with him.

[Paladin]

26. Gratifying to see a little worm like Lindsey fall even further.

That's the inevitable result of attaching yourself to trump. Lindsey has plenty of sorry company, in that regard.

[Ferrets are Cool]

36. PROTECT ME FROM THIS SHIT I HELPED CREATED

What a fucking scumbag.

[Hekate]

37. Missed Sen Brown being on. Would love to see him describe Lindsay screaming like that.

We all know you sold your soul, Senator G. And for what?

Flaccid soulless parasite.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

38. Pretty sure Graham would've put on a dress...

...if he thought that would have saved his treasonous neck, but a mask...the very thought gives him the vapors...
Plus he got his vaccine, fuck everyone else.

[Marcuse]

40. All the objectors should have been cast out of the safe room to better serve their constituents.

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. I find absolutely nothing surprising in this little anecdote.

I wish there was video of it - it would be the enduring image of the useless mass that is Lindsay Graham.
