SC Tea Party calling Senator Lindsey Graham gay? [video]
”Barney Frank is more honest and brave than you. At least we know about Barney Frank, and nobody is going to hold it over his head. And we got to just –. Look, I’m a tolerant person. I don’t care about your private life, Lindsey. But as a US Senator, I need to try and figure out why you’re trying to sell out your own countrymen. And I need to make sure you being gay isn’t it.”
An uncredited speaker appearing at a rally that is said to be in Greenville, South Carolina. In the video, which is said to be part of a “Tea Party” rally — one of many held by socially conservative activists, the man is publicly questioning the motivations of Senator Lindsey Graham [R-SC]. The US Senator has deflected speculation about his sexual orientation for years, especially since he has record of voting against extending equal rights to gay Americans. The speaker compares Graham to US Representative Barney Frank who is out about being gay. (via Newser)
