Remember last month when The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur teased a bombshell that was going to shake up the political landscape?
The documentary we’re releasing tomorrow on our YouTube channel, The Closetocracy, is about a gay, closeted US Senator. The issue isn’t someone’s sexuality, but there is a serious national security issue. One of the incidents was highly illegal - and on tape!

"The issue isn't about someone's sexuality" is what they always say. Liberals are always happy to use "gay" as a slur against people they don't like. In this case, the shocker was that the senator in question was the late Lindsey Graham. Yeah, it's a serious national security issue when he's dead.
Back in July, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, to serve out his term. Graham, like just about every other Republican running, lost her election on Tuesday, and the comedic geniuses at The Daily Show came up with this zinger:

@TheDailyShow This is classless. WTF happened to this show?

@TheDailyShow It's only homophobia if it comes from the Republican side of Twitter

@TheDailyShow Democrats are for LGBTQ rights until they can make fun of a republican. Then they’re more homophobic then a drunk uncle

@TheDailyShow That's in very poor taste. You got a Charlie Kirk assassination joke too? You freaks.

@TheDailyShow What a disgusting, homophobic thing to say.

@TheDailyShow Is being gay good or bad today?

@TheDailyShow See kids... homophobic jokes are OK as long as you do them to the people you HATE...

@TheDailyShow Democrats LOVE homophobia, as long as they get to choose the victims.

@TheDailyShow Pretty mean. Needlessly mean actually.

@TheDailyShow Is it not pejorative to call people gay now?
— Roaring 20s (@JohnWonderlin) November 4, 2026
@TheDailyShow Homophobia is fine as long as it's us doing it

What? Fans of The Daily Show thought it was hilarious. Don't dare suggest anything about James Talarico's masculinity, though, or they'll be all over you. He has a hot vegan girlfriend who he just happens to never be seen with.
