The right-wing activist has doubled down on her claim that a GOP senator is secretly gay.Laura Loomer has spoken out for the first time since her bizarre deposition in which she accused a senator of lying about his sexuality became public.
The MAGA firebrandwhose influence on President Donald Trump is growingwas pressed in her deposition about insults she made regarding the genitals of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kamala Harris, as well as the sexuality of Lindsey Graham. Her claim that the senator is secretly gay became public when the deposition was briefly available on a court docket before being sealed.
I was under oath, Loomer posted to X. I couldnt lie.
The right-wing activist has long alleged that Graham, a South Carolina Republican, is secretly gay. She claimed that officials in the White House have told her as much.
When is Lindsey coming out of the closet? We all you know youre gay, Lindsey, Loomer posted to X last year. And thats OK. Its OK. Its 2024. Theres nothing wrong with gay people.

On one hand, "HAHAHAHAHA!"
On the other hand, IMO she has serious mental health issues.

(131,248 posts)But she hardly "outed" Graham; he's been suspected of being gay by almost everybody since forever.

(1,531 posts)...the thing is, while South Carolina Republicans aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, they're not so dense they don't know these "confirmed bachelors" haven't been living the playboy life of James Bond. This is the state where the most avid and vocal segregationist of his generation lived with the open "secret" of having a black daughter, and remained in office until he was 100 years old.
This is the state that was the model for "Don't ask, don't tell".

(9,249 posts)Her blurting out that Graham is probably gay is hardly earth shattering to anybody but maybe Lindsey's momma.
Lindsey always reminds me of Kevin Spacey's character from the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Unless Putin has photos of Graham with a dead boy in his bed, I doubt too many people would give a rat's ass about his sexuality, so not much of a Page One distraction. But for some reason, it matters to Lindsey. And we know Felon has been pissed at him for some time now.

(5,617 posts)He is a southern Republican senator. Hes lucky Trump still likes him otherwise he might be out of a job.
Lindsay quickly became quite the Trump humper, must have had his reasons.

(69,648 posts)They don't care that Trump is a convicted sexual predator and felon.
They pretend to care about morals but they don't care about anything but money. And it's not immoral for Senator Graham to be gay. It's nobody else's business.

(792 posts)Worst kept secret ever. Hes so flaming he burned his closet down ages ago. He just thinks its still hiding his little secret.

(4,139 posts)Rumor was that Lindsay Graham frequented establishments in Fruit Loop and that he liked them young. Like high school age young.
One of my best friends was a gay man working in DC in the early/mid nineties who told me all about this.
He said people in the scene always assumed he was controlled by fear of pictures of him with HS boys would come out.... Kind of like his come to Jesus moments on the golf course

(9,629 posts)It's pretty clear. Of course, it's his personal business. And it's not Loomer's place to out him.
But yeah.... Washington's worst-kept secret.

Defamation lawsuit? I think not! Is it worth losing your worthless career over? He was an USAF JAG at one time when anyone who was Gay, had to keep it as secret as possible.

(69,648 posts)Or maybe Graham - like so many others - is bring paid by Russia. Who knows.

They just cannot help themselves when it comes to lying and spreading bullshit, can they? It's really all they have.
