Think how Graham must secretly loathe the party that keeps him in the closet. What a miserable existence. And for what? In the end, so many of these people will be ruined anyway. Their families forever tarnished with their legacy.

He keeps himself in the closet. He's done it all to himself.

To be fair, at least Lindsey responds to all messages sent to his government account, if only in a form letter sent by staff. (Tim Scott ignores EVERYTHING.)

But I WILL be voting (if I'm able, after voting since 1976), and NOT for MAGA.

Lindsey has become an embarrassment to himself and the country and the poor man does not realize that it has nothing to do with his sexuality and everything to do with his fawning sycophancy; the same might be said about the groveling Senator Tim Scott.

I’m in SC and cannot wait to vote for Annie Andrews and send Lindsey to a place where I don’t have to hear his voice or watch his lack of spine and moral collapse.

So very sorry about Tucker, Steve. They are never with us long enough.

History shows that political figures crushed under the weight of concealed lives, J. Edgar Hoover, Roy Cohn, often become the most ruthless enforcers of the very norms they privately violate.

The self-hatred turns outward. Rome had a word for it: corruptio optimi pessima, the corruption of the best is the worst.

What does it say about a democracy when its institutions offer no safe exit for such men?

Its not democracy that strangles differences, it's the greater culture.

I think it says the democracy has allowed cultural fear to colonize its institutions.

And when that happens, the system does not fail the individual. It manufactures enforcers out of wounded men.

Is this what fear becomes when given authority.

Thank You for this report on Lindsey . I have been horrified by his behavior since he joined Trump back in the first term. I came to believe he was hollow inside. How could he go from being the sidekick to a war hero to golfing with the most despicable American in the country.

A man who lacks morals. I have been waiting for people to call him out forever. Thank You . lost in america

It would sure be nice if he resigned.

Bye Lindsay, you unfortunately sold your sole to a man who won’t care when you fall

Democrats wouldn’t care if you’re gay, but maybe others in your party would

This has been the “rumor” for many many years & they keep re-electing him. South Carolina is so damn entrenched in their hatred of Democrats, they WILL & have looked the other way when it comes to “Miss Lindsay” For crying out loud they re-elected Nancy Mace (who in my opinion) is a stark raving lunatic. She is my representative & I cringe at her behavior. Maybe this next election will be her undoing, but who knows, hypocrisy is rampant in South Carolina.

It is difficult to crown anyone in this Administration as "the worst". It depends upon who gets the microphone at that moment. Lindsay, and JD, and Bobby and Oz and Hegseth...not to mention the distaff "ladies"...all winners of the crown of distaste and disgust. And the more they persist in ne'er-do-wellism, the greater The Felon approves.

So sorry to hear about your loss of Tucker. Unconditional love is a precious gift to give and to receive.

Steve, as I wrote once before, when you are ready to lead us on a march to surround the White House, let us know. BTW: someone once said that Gary Wills is the smartest man in America. Actually, the most knowledgeable.

Steve Schmidt, you are the smartest, most knowledgeable about politics. And yours truly is the same about where MAGA Trump came from and why.

No one is surprised to hear Lindsey is a self-loathing closeted gay man, who is also a parasite with lots of Kompromat out there, but what I do not understand is how John McCain tolerated him. What did Lindsey bring to the table besides the occasional chuckle from one of his bitchy barbs? I’ve never understood that relationship. But glad to know Sen McCain realized Lindsey could quickly become a liability.

For decades, South Carolina has been proudly electing miscreants like Lindsey Graham, Nancy Mace, Henry McMaster, and Ralph Norman. And that is just the short list. Don’t expect Graham to lose, because he won’t.

Tether South Carolina to Florida and unlatch both at the panhandle and let them float away into the Gulf of Mexico. Adios.

Thank you for all that you do. You are much appreciated! I was unaware of the passing of your faithful friend. We love so hard, and they leave our lives too soon. I am struggling right now with an elderly pet, as well. Please keep up the good fight. You voice is very much needed ❤️‍🩹❤️❤️‍🩹

Steve, would Save America start a voting campaign. A campaign that would promote what voters need to do to be prepared to to vote in

November e.g. what should women be doing to offset the save act.

Do women wait and see if the act passes or do we start changing name

back to maiden name, getting IDs, etc. These things need to be preparatory actions now; not wait until a month from election, if not preparatory for future election takeover.

I advocate to keep in the public sphere information on what this man and what his administration is trying to steal/ disrupt election. This is just a racist tactic which a lot of people don't understand the mechanics of.

People need prompting/instructions/help however it is thought of.

Can your organization help with this. Can you do a go fund me or advocate SAve Americaz funds just for a voting campaign only.

This needs to get done now somehow.

Irreverent a empty vessel, since the passing of John McCain, he is a nobody, I think!
