Lindsey Graham comments on Chelsea Handler's 'homophobic' tweet
Fox News ^ | Oct 12, 2018 | Sasha Savitsky

Posted on 10/12/2018 11:31:33 AM PDT by conservative98

The former talk show host was slammed on social media Thursday for tweeting, "If you’re wondering why Republicans took a sick day today, it’s probably because it’s #NationalComingOutDay. Looking at you @LindseyGrahamSC."

Many on social media were not amused and derided Handler’s joke as homophobic, tired, and lazy.

“Not sure homophobic insults are the cleverest means of attacking opponents… Yikes.,” wrote one Twitter user.

As for Graham -- he doesn't care what Handler has to say.

"I don't think much about what she says at all," Graham told TMZ. "If she wants to live her life that way, that's up to her.

"She knows zero about me...[her tweets], I don't think they reflect well on her," he said before adding, "To the extent that it matters, I'm not gay."

“To the extent that it matters, I’m not gay.”

An FYI for a few posters here

What a queer statement.

I read something that said she was 43. Haven’t looked that up.

But that’s a hard 43, if that’s accurate (going to look it up, now).

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I couldn’t care less as long as he keeps up the criticism of Rats.

Lindsey wants that closet door to remain shut.

Whatever Lindsey is or isn’t,
that’s not our business. We are now owed any ‘explanation’ for how he lives or expresses himself.
If this was a President we were speaking of, that may be different, but it’s not. He’s just a Senator in a state I don’t reside.
I’m glad he’s not letting her take him off message. That is the real purpose.

Is Lindsay “not gay” the way that other Senator who liked tap dancing in the airport restrooms “not gay?” Maybe he also “never HAS been gay?”

Is that your idiotic comment for the day or will there be others? I am sure there will be.

No class Chelsea, a sorry excuse for a comedian or an activist.

She got her ovaries in an uproar because Sen. Graham said it like it is at the Kavanaugh committee hearing.

“I’ve never married. I guess I attribute that to timing, too,” writes the 59-year-old South Carolina senator. “The opportunity never presented itself at the right time, or I never found time to meet the right girl, or the right girl was smart enough not to have time for me.”

That doesn’t mean he didn’t come close.

He had a girlfriend, Debbie, in law school, and two more during his time in the Air Force in Germany: a JAG officer named Carol who went on to serve on Colin Powell’s staff, and a Lufthansa flight attendant named Sylvia, Politico reports.

His relationship with Sylvia became “serious quickly,” he writes, so serious that he considered proposing to her. He never did. She returned to Vienna to be with her family and he “was a South Carolina boy who needed to go home.”

“I haven’t been lucky that way,” he adds of finding a wife.

"...If this was a President we were speaking of, that may be different..."

Nope!

Don't you remember?

Eight years of Homobama and it was NEVER OK to even suggest that he was swingin' from the other side of the plate.
