White House press secretary Jen Psaki is under fire for a recently unearthed tweet she sent last year that seemingly used a homophobic slur against Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, referring to him as "LadyG."

"Only in 2020 does #LadyG get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning @SallyQYates (aka an American hero)," Psaki tweeted on Aug. 5, 2020, as former acting attorney general Sally Yates was set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Graham chairs.

The tweet was not deleted as of Wednesday afternoon despite the mounting backlash. The tweet appeared to be a reference to a 2020 Washington Post article that detailed allegations made on Twitter by gay porn star Sean Harding against Graham. Graham’s critics on the left have long used homophobic slurs against the South Carolina lawmaker, insinuating that he's a closeted gay man because he is single.

According to the rules of The Woke, she should be booted from Twitter and calls for her to be fired should be starting.
 
Yes, I am sure there is a lot of good faith backlash about rude tweets from the same people who didn't say a word through the last 4 years.

I feel for Lady G. I really do. Honesty isn't really his strong suit, but maybe one of these days he'll stop hating who he is and stop projecting that onto the LGBTQ+ community.
 
Jen sarcastically scoffing at Space Force yesterday and having few answers besides "I'll circle back" is certainly grabbing attention. She's turning into a bit of a mess IMO.

Grabbing attention from who? The same people who cheered while Trump's press secretaries blatantly lied to us for years on end on the rare occasion they were actually holding press briefings?
 
I thought Jen was a breath of fresh air at first. After almost two weeks, she uses “uh,” way too much and has gotten a little full of herself. Wouldn’t surprise me if she doesn’t make a full term.

If I was to advise the Administration, I would recommend that they hold the briefings bi-weekly.......🤷
 
She was clearly implying that Lindsey Graham is gay and that makes him less of a man, hence the use of "Lady". So the broader implication is that homosexual men are less of men.

Incorrect! “Lady G” is suppoedly the name LIndsey Graham uses when trolling for male prostitutes. He apparently enjoys cross dressing in addition to paying for sex.

We have no means of knowing if Graham himself disagrees with this name.
 
I think there was a specific goal.


Let's see if Lindsey continues to bow down to those who are obviously blackmailing him.

I learned from an episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" that if the guy isn't actually gay it's just an insult, rather than a slur.

So is Graham coming out or what? Has he confirmed his pronouns?

The only people that care are the hard core MAGA freaks, and I'll bet she doesn't care about their opinions.
 
Could a person read my statement and come up with a more ****ing stupid way to interpret it than what you just did? I think it's impossible.

It is PRECISELY what your statement implied.
 
wait a minute....... Lady G is Lady Gaga.........

Oh I see ..... this bit of information about Lady G is coming through FOX NEWS thus nothing but BS. It is political BS. End of story = no hard evidence

So what we have is her using a name, based off of a rumor, to attack Graham for his assumed sexual orientation, which isn't anyone's business. Well, if that's the case...then it's still homophobic.

You have no way of knowing if that’s not Graham’s preferred name as many people are saying.

In your fevered imagination, I'm sure you think you're correct. In reality land it's still a ****ing stupid interpretation that holds no relevance to reality. There was no mention of women being less than men, only her implication that a man is less of a man if he is homosexual.

Do you think a man is less of a man if he's gay?

It's definitely our business when a politician pushes for policies that attack LGBTQ Americans.

Neither does she, and if she hadn't been given permission to refer to him as such by Graham himself then she's being homophobic by going after him for his alleged sexual preference and lifestyle.

You have no way of knowing that, and you do not need permission to use someone’s nickname.
 
The funny thing is MAGAs will pretend they care about homophobic speech but in a few weeks they will be calling Graham "Lady G" after he ticks them off for his immigration bill sponsorship.
 
She should totally have known that he's a bear. It's obvious. Just look at him.

Mmmmhmmmm. And does the context indicate that she used "Lady G" in a way that conveys "gay people are bad"? Is there an even broader context indicating she has separately expressed beliefs that gay people are in some way inherently inferior?

Careful. Because if you say this is enough, then you have to admit to sexism yourself, after all you said:

The Pro-Cheech and Chong bill will be easy.

Infrastructure? Not so much. Unions will act like little bitches trying to recoup some of their election investments and probably end up hurting any chance at a deal.

So, was it sexist of you to emasculate union workers by using a term that refers to female dogs and has been used as a way to disparage women? Or is it *different* because you were using it in a more general sense that combines "asshole" and "wuss" without any necessary reliance on a belief that females are inherently inferior?

He's China's bitch. He'll do whatever they say. And he'll keep his mouth shut over Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Uighurs.

How about emasculating Biden by combining a moronic lie with the term?
