Bill Maher Drops Gay-Coded List on Lindsey Graham: WATCH

Bill Maher went after Senator Lindsey’ Graham’s “hypocrisy on steroids” on Real Time Friday night with a list less about the Republican South Carolina senator’s heinous, turn-about political allegiance to Trump and more about the rumors of his sexuality, using gay-coded tropes and lazy, generally offensive stereotypes.

The politically-incorrect Maher only read a selection aloud from the full list, 24 Things You Don’t Know About Lindsey Graham, written on a card that led off the segment. How many gay-coded items can you count?

Of course, Graham has been the subject of gay rumors for years. He commented on them most recently after National Coming Out Day in 2018, when Chelsea Handler tweeted, “If you’re wondering why Republicans took a sick day today, it’s probably because it’s #NationalComingOutDay. Looking at you @LindseyGrahamSC”

Graham responded: “It’s a free country, you can say what you want to say, I don’t care. I don’t think much about what she says at all. If she wants to live her life that way. It’s up to her. To the extent that it matters, I’m not gay….Belittling people is not as funny as it used to be, and that’s a good thing.”
