The most underwhelming October Surprise was released today

Tweet

The Young Turks teased yesterday that they were going to release a documentary about a US senator who hired male escorts. I saw that and put it in my mind to make sure to check them out today. I checked out Twitter today during my lunch and the big SURPRISE was. . . that the senator was the late Lindsey Graham. The video is called "The CLOSETocracy" and is 33 minutes long. I've watched it now. 3 male escorts say that Graham paid them for sexual activity. One of them was under 18 at the time and was recorded by him insisting that he say out loud that he was 18. (he later saw the red blinking light and knew he was being recorded) Lindsey Graham disavowed gay marriage and voted against gay rights multiple times. Graham being homosexual was like the worst-kept secret in the world. This was not any shocking "surprise". What is concerning however is that he served in one of the highest levels of government and if The Young Turks could get this information then you can be sure that other countries already had it and it could have been used to blackmail him. That is the concerning thing in all of this.
