Lindsey Graham [View all]

The consensus across the political spectrum in SC is that Lindsey is being blackmailed. Something made him do a 180. I have never liked his politics but I never thought he was this craven. This is out of character for him. Ppl are talking and these are people who have known him for a long time.

Lindsey’s parents died when he was younger. He adopted his little sister and raised her. Then he joined the AF became a JAG and this gave him time to finish college, get a law degree and take care of her. Then he fulfilled his AF commitment.

I don’t know what is going on, but Graham may trying to be signal that something is very wrong by acting so differently. Don’t write this off and put it down to him having a change of heart and agreeing with Trump. Lindsey does not have a mean bone in his body. Trump is 100% mean and nasty.

I don’t think his being gay is a factor. It is an open secret and he has been elected anyway. This is drawing attention down here because this is so out of character.

"open secret" means he could be blackmailed as a homosexual it seems. Crutchez_CuiBono Aug 2018 #1

I think it is something that worries him more. Are_grits_groceries Aug 2018 #5

Hard to say. The gop are not fans of gay people. To say they accept it is a disservice Crutchez_CuiBono Aug 2018 #8

That crossed my mind but I don't want to make that allegation w/o confirmation. Trust Buster Aug 2018 #24

It's not an allegation just a suggestion of what the whitemail may involve. underthematrix Aug 2018 #26

HE has lot's in his closet that's for sure bluestarone Aug 2018 #6

Got to wonder if he's protecting his sister. GoCubsGo Aug 2018 #10

I have wondered if that is how Trumpco is handling a lot of people. Are_grits_groceries Aug 2018 #18
