Americans remember when Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina appeared on CNN in December of 2016 and stated that his campaign email account was hacked by Russians -- he added that the United States needed to work together to prevent this from happening in the future.
So what happened to Graham’s tough position on Russian hacking?
In 2016 Graham famously told Wolf Blitzer on CNN, “The more you know about Donald Trump, the less likely you are to vote for him. The more you know about his business enterprises, the less successful he looks. The more you know about his political giving, the less Republican he looks. We should have done this months ago.”
What happened to Lindsey Graham?
For the past three years, America has watched as Graham went from being John McCain’s best friend and one of Donald Trump’s toughest critics to being a sniveling Trump bootlicker.
America has been repeatedly shocked as Graham has worked overtime to normalize Trump’s increasingly unhinged behavior.
Did Graham give in to Trump so he could become a star in a Republican Party that has increasingly become the Party of Trump or is there something darker going on?
Many have speculated that Graham is being blackmailed by Trump and Putin. His opinions changed radically after his emails were hacked by Russia.
Rumors have always swirled that Graham is gay, but Americans have become increasingly concerned that Trump has blackmail information on Graham. Most Americans are not concerned that Graham is gay, but that he could be compromised.
Trump is Blackmailing Graham?
In 2019, Don Winslow, posted on Twitter the he had information from sources in the Department of Justice that confirmed to him that Trump is blackmailing Graham.
Winslow Tweeted, “Have you wondered why @LindseyGrahamSC has been defending @realDonaldTrump like his life depended on it? A friend in federal law enforcement told me about a certain threat @realDonaldTrump has made to Graham. It’s personal. It’s awful. And it’s working very well.”
Jon Cooper Tweeted in 2019, “A Republican just told me that he doubts @LindseyGrahamSC is kowtowing to Trump (and indirectly Putin) because he’s being blackmailed over his sexual orientation (an open secret) or even financial corruption. Rather, he thinks it probably involves some pretty serious sexual kink.”
Cooper is gay and has reportedly stated that he doesn’t care about Graham’s sexuality as much as he cares about Graham being blackmailed.
Graham Is An Opponent Of LGBTQ Equality
Graham’s positions:
He supported a federal constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage
He voted against legislation that would ban employment discrimination
He has voted against a bill that would allow same-sex couples to adopt
He has compared gay marriage to polygamy
Who Is Lady G?
This all resurfaced last week when Sean Harding, a gay porn star, Tweeted, “There is a homophobic republican senator who is no better than Trump who keeps passing legislation that is damaging to the lgbt and minority communities. Every sex worker I know has been hired by this man. Wondering if enough of us spoke out if that could get him out of office? Fellow sex workers I invite you to stand with me during this crucial time. EVERY major news network is in my inbox including high profile lawyers willing to take this case. There’s strength in numbers – I KNOW you’re out there because EVERYONE has a story about LG when we talk.”
Harding then Tweeted, “I cannot do this alone. If you’d be willing to stand with me against LG please let me know. …. So far I have two individuals who would be willing to go public and support my claims. Anyone else?”
Harding’s statement led to similar reports about Lindsey Graham who is allegedly called “Lady G” by professional male escorts, though none have shared proof of this to date.
LGBTQ activist Dan Savage Tweeted, “Outing is a brutal tactic that should be reserved for brutes. Lady G more than qualifies.”
Jeremy Newberger Tweeted, “I don't care if Lady G is gay. I love gay people. I don't care if his suitors are male escorts. A job is a job. BUT if it is revealed that this info was responsible for his abhorrent traitorous behavior these last 3 years, this mother fucker is going down. (and not in a fun way.)”
Awfully Dangerous
Although Americans may never know if Graham switched his views because he is being blackmailed or if it’s just because he is awful, the fact remains that Graham and Trump pose a danger to the LGBTQ community. Graham's voting record, decision to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court and to repeatedly defend Trump has hurt people.

Is Lindsey Graham Compromised Or Just Awful?
I think Trump has something on him or the power has gone to his head. I don’t think he was always this awful.
I thought all along that 45 had something on him
