The hypocrisy of "Lady G": Laura Loomer’s oath unmasks the GOP’s loudest closet

The Republican hierarchy isn’t panicking over any bold new legislative vision. No, the tremors are coming from a bland room somewhere in South Florida, where Laura Loomer—never known for subtlety—just swapped her bullhorn for a sworn affidavit and, oops, let the skeletons tumble out.

No, the tremors are coming from a South Florida deposition room where Laura Loomer, the scorched-earth siren of the MAGA movement, finally said the quiet part out loud under the crushing weight of a legal oath.

The target? Senator Lindsey Graham. The accusation? A lifetime of double-living that would make a spy novelist blush.

A house of cards built on secrets

For decades, Lindsey Graham has performed a masterclass in political theater. He has spent thirty years in the halls of power casting stones at the LGBTQ+ community. From the Defense of Marriage Act to his stubborn refusal to support the Respect for Marriage Act, Graham has built a career on the "traditional" definition of a life he has never personally led.

But according to Loomer, the "traditional" bachelor of South Carolina isn't just a private man—he's a known quantity. "It’s well-known," Loomer sneered during her June 2025 deposition. She didn't just stop at gossip; she implicated the very inner circle of the Trump administration, claiming staff members confirmed Graham's sexuality in confidence.

If Loomer is telling the truth, we are witnessing a level of hypocrisy that borders on the pathological. How does a man spend seventy years on this earth, and half of them in the Senate, voting to deny rights to a community he allegedly belongs to?

The "Lady G" shadow returns

This isn't just about Loomer’s penchant for chaos. The ghosts of 2020 are howling again, reminding the public of the "Lady G" scandal that Graham tried so desperately to bury with jokes about gay men jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

While Graham plays the role of the indignant statesman, the testimony suggests a much darker reality: a man protected by a "don't ask, don't tell" policy within his own party, even as he weaponizes legislation against those who dare to live authentically. Loomer’s defense for her outburst? "I was under oath. I couldn’t lie."

It is a delicious irony that Loomer—a woman Marjorie Taylor Greene calls a "dangerous liar"—might be the one person forced into honesty by a court reporter, while Graham remains shielded by the very institutions he uses to gatekeep morality.

The circular firing squad

The deposition didn't just expose Graham; it laid bare the rotting core of right-wing infighting. We have Loomer, a woman who describes her colleagues with the vocabulary of a gutter, now acting as the unofficial whistleblower of the GOP’s most open secret.

Is Graham a victim of a smear campaign by a "mentally unstable" influencer, or is he a man whose legislative record is a decades-long projection of his own internal shame? If Loomer’s testimony holds water, the "toxic" label Graham threw at her might just be a mirror.

The Republican Party likes to preach about truth and tradition. But as the transcripts go viral, it seems the only tradition they’re keeping alive is the one where they lie to the public while whispering the truth behind closed doors.
