…we have this, via the following excerpt from Caleb Howe’s article at mediaite.com:
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle and her guests on The 11th Hour were in fits of laughter as they mocked Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham with the implication that he is gay during an off-the-rails segment about abortion policy in the United States.
On Friday’s show, Ruhle’s panel guests included CBS Sunday Morning‘s Nancy Giles, CNBC’s Ron Insana, MSNBC columnist Liz Plank, and comic and podcaster Judy Gold.
Toward the end of the show, Ruhle brought up Sen. Graham and the abortion legislation he put forward, which has been a major news story all week. Just mentioning his name elicited some groans from the guests.
There were several immediate responses, including Plank pointing out that women are registering to vote in swing states in response to the abortion issue.
“And, the fact that he is telling women what to do with their bodies,” Gold began. She paused a second before Giles nodded and said, “Go for it.”
“He’s never seen a vagina! He’s never seen a naked woman!” Gold blurted, as the whole panel laughed it up, including Stephanie Ruhle. “And he is telling me?”
The implication that Gold was using to crack up the panel is one that’s made pretty often on the Democrat side, which is to suggest Graham is gay, apparently as an insult.
Amid the crosstalk and tittering, Ruhle added her own wink and nudge, saying, “We don’t know that for sure. We do not know that for sure.”
MSNBC’s Liz Plank said “It’s probably true, it’s probably true.”
“Judy we would refer to that as an unconfirmed report,” said CNBC’s Insana getting in on it.
“Someone needs to find out!” said Plank.
The article goes on, and there’s more like this, but I think you get the idea…
…the idea being that if Lindsey Graham dares to take a stand regarding abortion, his sexuality becomes the object of derisive laughter and insults – derisive laughter and insults that this same bunch would be attacking if an anti-gay person said exactly the same thing.
In other words, these geniuses seem to think that if you claim you support gay people, you are then liberated to attack and insult people on the basis of their possible sexual preference…
…just like the people who claim they are racially unbiased, therefore free to attack and insult people (usually White people) based on their skin color. Critical Race Theory, anyone?
Self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Quite a show. Too bad it is so long-running, with no sign of closing.
