What is even haaappening? I was gonna share this clip when I thought your caption was accurate, then found it was inaccurate, then asked if I was missing another part of the interview, then you started accusing me of things, and now I'm never going to trust Grabien again. A+ work

Yes, Rep. Omar hasn't explicitly said Graham's sexuality is the blackmail being used against him. But as everyone in D.C. knows, this is the rumor circulated about Graham, so saying he's "compromised" achieves this purpose. No reason to give her a pass for dog whistling.

I presume all of the progressives tweeting at me that I shouldn’t spell out the obvious implication she’s making also hit the media every time Trump is accused of being “racist” for favoring tighter immigration?

Am looking forward to all of the progressives who are certain there's some non-sexuality related scandal she's referencing to report back on what they come up with. Not sure Ilhan Omar's irresponsible rhetoric is the hill you want to die on.

Rep. Omar stated matter-of-factly that Graham “is compromised.” As she’s now denying trafficking in the rumor being spread by her progressive allies that “serious sexual kink” is involved in this apparent blackmail, I’ve contacted her office to find out what she did mean.
