Lindsey Graham is no doubt reaching for his smelling salts right now.
The gay-hating senator just got caught talking out of both sides of his mouth again thanks to a damning new book being released next week.
Graham went on Fox News yesterday to gush about how Donald Trump is “the toughest guy I’ve ever seen in Washington” and praising him for “[bringing] the world to a better place” during his chaotic single term as president that ended, you may recall, in a failed coup d’etat.
Politics, but make it gay!

At the same time he was praising Trump on live television, excerpts from a new book about the ex-president’s failed plot to steal the 2020 election hit the internet. In them, Graham was quoted saying some far less flattering things about his old buddy Donald.
In Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election, authors Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman detail how the South Carolina senator “threw Donald Trump under the bus” during his testimony to the grand jury investigating Trump & Co.’s efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia in 2020.
According to Isikoff and Daniel, Graham went so far as to say Trump became so unhinged after losing to Biden that he would’ve believed “martians came and stole the election.”
“After fighting a four-month legal battle all the way to the US supreme court to block his grand jury subpoena – and losing … Graham turned on a dime ‘and threw Trump under the bus’, the authors write.
“According to secret grand jury testimony in Fulton county confirmed by the authors, Graham testified that if you told Trump ‘that martians came and stole the election, he’d probably believe you’. He also suggested to the grand jurors that Trump cheated at golf.”
Et tu, Lindsey?

The book also recounts an awkward run-in Graham allegedly had with Fulton County DA Fani Willis as he was leaving the courthouse.
“After Graham was finished testifying, he bumped into Fani Willis in a hallway and thanked her for the opportunity to tell his story,” Isikoff and Klaidman write.
“‘That was so cathartic,’ he told Willis. ‘I feel so much better.’ Then, to the astonishment of one source who witnessed the scene, South Carolina’s senior senator hugged the Fulton county DA who was aggressively pursuing Trump. Willis’s reaction: ‘She was like, ‘Whatever, dude,” according to one witness of the strange encounter.”
Willis ultimately decided not to bring charges against Graham for his alleged involvement in the efforts to upend Georgia’s election results.
The book exposes a secret about the senator that most people already know: His respect and admiration for Trump is entirely transactional and, when push comes to shove, his loyalty is to himself, not the ex-president or the country.
Trump currently faces 13 charges in Georgia for his alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. That’s in addition to the 40 charges he’s facing in Florida for stealing classified government documents, 34 charges in New York regarding hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, and 4 charges in Washington, D.C. for inciting the January 6 insurrection.
Despite his myriad of legal troubles, Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary and is expected to be the party’s nominee after his last remaining rival, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, inevitably drops out.
Hmmm. We wonder how Graham *really* feels about that. 🤔

Never trust a closet queen — oops, I mean a politician.
radiooutmike
You were right the first time.
johncp56
LOL I agree, and GOP closet cases are the worst, hypocrites unless in there as spies LOL
ZzBomb
Well that certainly fills in some gaps I was wondering about in that case.

Treacherous lying squirrel.

Why did I assume the article might be about another of Senator Lindseybelle’s worst kept secrets?
Perhaps seen blowing a young man in Piedmont Park?
But no.
One can’t suck d!ck and talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time. Not even him.

How does she live with herself? And, the bigger question is how do those rent boys she hires rationalize getting in bed with this old queen for a few bucks knowing her politics ?
abfab
Gay for pay.

How do rent boys live with themselves you ask…they same uncaring way they always have they party they go to Circuit Parties spreading COVID while the world is locked down, but then again Neil Patrick Harris and his wife and kids threw their privilege in our faces when during the lockdown they chartered a yacht in Croatia to get through it….no morals in DC or in our community
Chrisk
The same way the circuit queens like Eliad Cohen partied with former anti gay Rep Aron Schock I imagine. Although, the Circuit boys aren’t exactly known for knowing much outride of sex, drugs and parties so there is that.
abfab
Uh oh, another lunatic.
dbmcvey
It is sad. Graham is basically the beta dog who always needs a alpha. For a long time it was John McCain but now it’s Trump. Just pathetic.

I thought the worst kept secret was his sexuality. Never been married politician?
Mister P
What makes him more of an enigma is that he tells lies and the truth. It is hard to tell the difference with him sometimes.
abfab
POS just mistakenly referred to Timmy Scott as Hershal Walker.
Kangol2
Sissy that snitching and keep on switching, Miss Lindsey!
abfab
What is that from?

I love most of the posts here truth with a smile

I look forward to hearing about Lady Graham, the pool boy, and a ballgag.
Ronbo
Graham Gremore is getting “edgy” exposing his Log Cabin cohorts. Just like a Republican – Gremore projects his own closeted truths.
Ronbo
Gremore, you may recall, was “transactional” when he reported multiple false stories at Queerty attacking a progressive gay candidate helping a very conservative person win the seat. Escalades are NOT cheap.
abfab
You said that (at least) once before. Don’t read him.
Ronbo
Yes abfab. I’ve said it many times because you in particular don’t seem to comprehend the dangers of blindly following identity politics. Or… do you support the harsh conservative nature of Judge Judy AND Log Cabin Republicans?
For someone who lives his life making comments, abfab, you’d think that you would appreciate the criticism. It’s how one improves and learns to be better. I want to recommend this site to others and, in good faith, the blind allegiance to extremism and anti-gay/trans elements are not to be advocated.
