Jon Cooper, chairman of the grassroots #Resistance organization The Democratic Coalition with 230,000 followers, tweeted this vile smear of Sen. Lindsey Graham, saying he’s being blackmailed for a “pretty serious kink”:
A Republican just told me that he doubts @LindseyGrahamSC is kowtowing to Trump (and indirectly Putin) because he’s being blackmailed over his sexual orientation (an open secret) or even financial corruption. Rather, he thinks it probably involves some pretty serious sexual kink.

You see, homophobic slurs are OK if you have #Resist in you bio:
And, of course, this tweet from @TheDemCoalition spreading homophobic garbage about Lindsey Graham predictably and, by design, provokes even more disgusting & harmful progressive homophobia about gay men being pedophiles. All for the right cause, though: https://t.co/byBOKo1ECn

If you’re not familiar with Cooper’s Twitter feed, it’s garbage:
This is a BS homophobic tweet from an account that just makes stuff up for retweets. https://t.co/QneKKrLTmE

This is the head of @TheDemCoalition. Imagine writing something like this spreading baseless smears about a U.S. Senator and thinking you are somehow the good guys.
These are bad people. https://t.co/PxCVouU8eI

Yeah … we’re sure this is “ironclad”:
Don’t do this, Jon. It’s disgusting unless you have ironclad sourcing. https://t.co/KqMgPItEPK
