So I put this comment up days ago... Believe you/me I've been digging and Lindsey Graham is a real problem child.
The problem: There is so much info out there that would usually disqualify him from running in politics successfuly, but most of it is public for years.

"Kilimnik helped Manafort polish his anti-democratic, totalitarian message into a pitch that would catch the ear of Russian oligarchs like Oleg Deripaska. And Kilimnik began that work at the International Republican Institute "
He was in this one too. https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/05/08/putins-proxies-helped-funnel-millions-gop-campaigns
That stuff is no revelation to most of us... so what is it? What is Lindsey hiding?
The homophobic slander by his own party is an ongoing thing and it has been for probably more than two decades, hasn't cost him the vote... but there have been reports some of congress is shy

"North Carolina Democrat Kay Hagan had been told in 2008 that the Senate swimming pool—yes, they have a pool—was strictly a boy’s club. Why? Because two un-named male senators preferred to do their laps in the pool sans swimsuit." https://splinternews.com/how-do-we-still-not-know-which-senator-liked-to-get-his-1825298741
“Don’t believe anything anybody tells you about my Air Force exploits,” Graham once told the Washington Post about his
military tour, which took him to Paris and Rome. “I was very heterosexual, that’s all you need to know.” -Lindsey Graham http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/09/what-happened-to-lindsey-graham.html

Ok, I guess we will take you at your word Lindsey, until further notice.
After all this article is really old and vague. https://gawker.com/5715809/is-lindsey-graham-about-to-get-outed

So if he isn't gay, and definitely was not gay in the air force, Then we should move on to the next question.
Is it the fact that his family brought him up in a bar where segregation of black people from white people was enforced until the 70s?
No it's in his autobiography

What about this?
"Air Force promoted Graham twice even though documents in his military personnel
file reveal that he did little or no work.

"a detailed examination of Graham’s military record — much of it obtained under the Freedom of Information Act — shows that the Air Force afforded him special treatment as a lawmaker, granting him the privileges of rank with few expectations in return."
"from 2006-2015, Graham's official biography said he was senior instructor at the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, but Graham never filled that job." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/08/03/grahams-military-service-questioned/31069773/
It could be anything, But I wonder who was giving him those promos, and what he paid in return
A little more on Graham.
He was part of the failed 1997 push to oust then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
But it was his role in the House impeachment and Senate trial of President Bill Clinton that put him on the map. http://www.wvik.org/post/5-things-you-should-know-about-lindsey-graham-0#stream/0
