Cenk Uygur, the professional progressive who once made a career out of screaming that any focus on someone’s private life is a right-wing smear, is suddenly very excited to tell you about the documentary his team is dropping tomorrow on a gay, closeted U.S. senator.
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!

Cenk is careful to insist the problem isn’t the sexuality—no, no, it’s the “serious national security issue” and the “highly illegal” incident that’s supposedly on tape — but the timing and the branding (“The Closetocracy”) make it clear he’s counting on the audience to fill in the blanks the old-fashioned way.
Of course, the bombshell wasn't much of a bombshell at all.
BREAKING: Three male escorts say the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham paid them for sex. One of them was reportedly 17 at the time. Below is our full documentary on their stories: https://t.co/pd3DfzgPfc

So they went after a dead man for a bombshell ... a bombshell most people already knew about or suspected.
Stop the presses.
Is the bombshell in the room with us?

Heh.
OMG THIS IS SHOCKING AND IT CHANGES EVERYTHING

RIGHT? WE'RE SHOCKED! NATIONAL SECURITY! REEEEEE!
nothing but respect for the sex workers who came forward, but calling this documentary “the closetocracy” when it’s about one guy we already knew was queer (and who is now dead) is just conspiratorially homophobic
