0:34Angie Sullivan:Warmonger Lindsey Graham died on Saturday night, and the NDA seemed to be null and void now that he's dead. And trans actress Jesse James Rose is spilling the tea. So this is our obituary of the man who beat down the marginalized during the day, advocated for the killing of innocent civilians during the day. And then at night, fetishize the very community in which he wanted to ostracize. Pop this up. Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead. LOL. Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina, but to me, he will always be the man who paid a Twinkie pre-transition college student, she says me, a fat stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie.

1:32Angie Sullivan:It's a canon trans event to have far-right freaks bankrolling you and then turning around and voting against you. People love to judge us for it, but I never see them opening their wallets. Shout out to sex workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent. It is an absolute mindfuck to me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security and lack of student loans is because of this man. At the time, I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group of twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying, we shouldn't out people.

2:15Angie Sullivan:I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I'm glad they did it. Icons forever. Anyway, if you've ever enjoyed what I do on the internet, know that it is in part because of Lindsay's generous donation over a decade ago. If I've ever sent you money for something, know that was kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator from South Carolina. Lindsay, rest in hell for what you did to our community. I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. I love every second of our time together. And now everyone knows. Wow.

2:56You know, here's the thing. We've heard these rumors and it surprises me zero that they're starting to come out now that he's deceased and are able to talk more openly about it. And I suspect that she is not the only one. There are many, many people. We've heard the rumors for years. I mean, we can pontificate that that is why he was so full of hate, is he wasn't living who he truly was. But there are so many different reasons that Lindsey Graham sucked. And I agree. If you want to villainize people during the day, vote against laws that vote for laws that go against that community, yet you're part of it at night, you get zero respect.

3:46We're not rewriting history after your death. You sucked. Yeah.

3:51Angie Sullivan:And isn't this just, there's the closeted Republicans, which there are many from lots of sources, people that have worked in Republican politics for decades, say, the closet cases within the Republican Party, specifically the MAGA Republican Party, are abundant. And so at night, they're fetishizing the things that during the day they hate about themselves. But isn't this also emblematic of the electorate at large? So many white women that vote for Donald Trump and vote for MAGA politicians. And then they have these lives, social lives, where they want to feel cool and multicultural. And it just, I want to say that what I think Jesse James Rose said, that I will love this community more than those people will ever hate it.

4:46Angie Sullivan:And I've always done that. And I just think right now is a time for people who have microphones to use them. This is getting really, really serious. Donald Trump is escalating the efforts to disrupt the elections and he's going to continue. And he has a bunch of nuts, submissive closet case men around him that want to cheat because none of these people are good enough to stand on who they are. Veil off just saying, this is who I am. And of course um laura loomer and olive maggot is going down conspiracy rabbit holes right now so let's pop this up did russia or iran just poison u.s senator it needs to be investigated so yeah investigate it investigate it you guys have the house you have the senate you have the supreme court you have the fbi you have the cia you have the presidency do it investigate all this do it because more than likely you're investigating some connection that you guys have and then here's another post about the conspiracies bill agman the um aggrieved billionaire who um uh has stage five meltdowns on twitter all day every day because life is just so hard for bill agman he says this doesn't look like a guy who would die hours later here's the thing bill this is how heart attacks work.

6:11Angie Sullivan:One minute, you're perfectly healthy. And the next minute you feel a little off. And then you have a heart attack. And then you're either dead or people were able to intervene. But what I'm curious about, and I say, let's go down this investigation track. There's reporting that a lady called in the 911 call, but she wasn't at the apartment or the condo with Lady Graham. And he told this person he wasn't feeling well, and I can't die tonight. I'll go to the doctor after my Meet the Press interview on Sunday. Who is this person that called? Is it a staffer? I want to know who called about Lady Graham.

6:57You know, I love a good sex scandal. So my first thought was, was he on some type of Zoom and they were doing like naughty sex over the Internet, kind of like a la Big Titty Brian. And that person made the call. Or was it, you know, a staffer, which that's so boring. But I just thought, who is this person and are they really a woman? Because my first thought was maybe one of his, you know, hired boyfriends was over in the middle of the night.

7:31Angie Sullivan:Yeah, I mean, I think the reporting is pretty solid that somebody called 911 that was in Maryland and said that the door would be unlocked and the paramedics arrived and the door was bolted and then they had to beat down the door. And so, I mean, I don't know, it's probably more than likely a staffer, but despite the the situation surrounding Lady Graham's death, the sex workers are going to be coming out in full force now that there's no threat to their lives or these NDAs that they were forced to sign because Lindsey Graham being gay was an open secret in Washington, D.C., which brings me to all of these MAGA politicians.

8:18Angie Sullivan:You had Katie Miller come out and she's been on the internet the last day. Joe Biden, who worked with Lindsey Graham for decades, sent a tweet saying, you know, Lindsey was my friend. I wish his family best, thoughts and prayers, the typical stuff that a mature realized adult would tweet. I wouldn't tweet that if I was in the Senate, but the senators that are in there are tweeting these kind things. And Katie Miller responds to Joe Biden. Did somebody write that for you? Well, at the same time, she also tweeted yesterday a picture of her holding her newborn. I can't tell you how addictive this is.

9:02Angie Sullivan:And then another tweet where she says Donald Trump is the most pro-family president this country has ever seen. These people are pathological liars. And you have a person of power that has this secret. And that secret can ricochet out and cause toxic ripples to the whole community because you have people around that person that help them keep their secret. The thing with MAGA is you have a whole group of people that are broken, toxic, dysfunctional, and they're all together. And the collective toxicity of their secrets ripples out. And this is a moment for the Democrats to wholly start attacking.

9:52Angie Sullivan:You might say, attack after Lindsey Graham's death. This is the fight of our lives. Yes, you say, here's a man who every single day preached family values and anti-gay rhetoric and talked about the killing of civilians, was a homicidal war criminal out the wazoo. And now we know, as we've known for a long time, that he likes to put on red panties and kink around with sex workers, which, listen, I don't give a shit. I'm not some Christian prude that wants to be involved in the sex lives of everybody else. But the Katie Millers, the Stephen Millers, the Lindsey Grahams, and all of these people are that.

10:32Angie Sullivan:And we need to start calling out the hypocrisy really, really loud. because something in me, when I saw the cast of characters, the people in the Senate, sending these pretty mature messages about Lindsey Graham, it kind of pissed me off. And I don't like that I felt that way, but I think viewer and listener, you probably felt that way too, because I'm like, this isn't just like 12, 13 years ago when John McCain was in the Senate and they worked together on bipartisan things. This is different. I mean, Lindsey Graham champions death all the time. Lindsey Graham sucks ass to Donald Trump all the time, and he actually had power.

11:17Angie Sullivan:But what did he choose to do with that power? All the powerful people in this phase of the MAGA takeover capitulated first. It's just so stunning. So I just feel like we need to be all gas, no brakes. Lindsey Graham died. He's a 71-year-old closet case who was a failure as a U.S. Senator, a failure of a human being, an embarrassment to himself. And the fact that these people want to lecture everybody, Katie Miller, about family values. What about Lindsey? Why aren't you writing a tweet about, well, Lindsey never bred. I mean, her big platform is everybody needs to breed. It's so addicting. She just discovered this new human thing, breeding.

12:06Angie Sullivan:Why isn't the tweet about Lindsay not breeding, Katie? Here's the thing. This was what I found to be enraging about the posts after Lindsay Graham's death. Number one, you have the conspiracy theorists that want to make it a green conspiracy, negating the fact that he was clearly alcoholic, obviously was going to have heart problems or whatever health problems. But it was the monitoring on the right of people that were clear eyed about Lindsey Graham on the left, who, you know, retweeted the things that he had said, or reposted the things that he had said. And this attack on people that were rightly voicing exactly who Lindsey Graham was.

12:54And we've all been to the funerals where they rewrite history of the person, but they're trying to rewrite history and say, oh, well, it's so disrespectful of you to do that. What about Lindsey Graham wanting to send US troops into Iran to be murdered and slaughtered for fucking nothing? How's that family value, Katie? It's just the absolute unique position of MAGA that Donald Trump can ridicule, you know, Robert Mueller, Colin Powell, there have been other people that have died that he has been immature and vile about their deaths. But because it was one of theirs, everybody has to tiptoe around their outsized feelings.

13:39And so that was where my anger came from is now you're trying to tell us how we're supposed to react to someone when all we're doing is putting a focus on who that person was, and not sugarcoating it or rewriting history because it benefits your outsized feelings.

13:59Angie Sullivan:Yeah, pay no attention to that. I mean, these are the people that Donald Trump, when Rob Reiner died, sent the most hateful, horrific tweet that he died of Trump derangement syndrome and all this, the ravings of a lunatic. Anybody in MAGA, don't let them get you that wound up pumps. This is what they do. Every day, it's duplicity. Every day, it's moral hypocrisy. Every day, it's complete moral collapse on full display. They have zero credibility unless we give them credibility. They have zero credibility because if they want to have a conversation about this when somebody dies and how people should react, let's start at the top.

14:46Angie Sullivan:Right. Let's start at the top of the country. Who's in charge of the United States of America? Morbidly obese shit poster Donald Trump is who wears a full face of makeup, talks about how hot men are all the time, is on wife number three that he doesn't even sleep with. So these people have zero, zero credibility, but the cult wants to feel like they, oh my God, their whole ethos is attacking the lips. And so the Katie Miller, she knows the moral duplicity. These people know what they're doing. And that's the point, the flagrancy of it, the plundering of it in open spaces. That's why they do this.

15:31Angie Sullivan:It feeds the cult and they want to make us crazed. give me a break. These people, you want to put on a masterclass on how to behave when somebody dies? Okay. We'll just do what your leader does. I mean, I'm not going to really say anything horrific about Lindsey Graham, but I do think we should talk about the biggest story on the planet is that the Republican Party has a skeleton problem, closet skeleton problem. And it just is it's absolutely everywhere. But let's remember Lindsey at his best calling Trump a race baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. Play the clip. I don't know who you are and I don't know why you like this guy.

16:13I think what you like about him, he appears to be strong when the rest of us are weak. He's a very successful businessman. He's going to make everything great. He's going to take all the problems of the world and put them in a box and make your life better. That's what he's selling. Here's what you're buying. He's a race baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. Okay.

16:35Angie Sullivan:I'd push back on the good businessman and push back on the religious part. But this is what the history books will be looking at when it pertains to Marco Rubio, as it pertains to Lindsey Graham and other Republicans who were clear-eyed about exactly who Donald Trump was, exactly what kind of con artist he was, but they froth at the mouth and have a Pavlovian style reaction once they get the slightest proximity to power. And they completely bend themselves, and that's why they were chosen. And here's the difference, viewer, between us and these powerful people. In this phase of fascism, the richest, the most protected, and the most powerful capitulated first.

17:27Angie Sullivan:Everyday Americans like us and you, viewer, have refused to capitulate. So what an indictment on the wealthy and the powerful. What a bunch of pussies these people are. All right. That's all we have. Like, subscribe and comment. We'll be back later with more news.
