Lindsey Graham is going high in response to Chelsea Handler going low … after she claimed to out him on Twitter.
We got the Senator from South Carolina Friday at Reagan National Airport, and asked him about Handler’s #NationalComingOutDay tweet. Instead of blasting her — as many others have — Graham insisted Chelsea had every right to say whatever she wants. As he put it … it’s a free country.
If you’re wondering why Republicans took a sick day today, it’s probably because it’s #NationalComingOutDay. Looking at you @LindseyGrahamSC

Graham did tell us, “To the extent that it matters, I’m not gay” — but it was definitely a measured response.
Some of the backlash against Chelsea — who’s no fan of Prez Trump or Sen. Graham’s support of Brett Kavanaugh — has been that she’s stooped to using homophobia to attack him.
Graham gave us his own take on belittling people for the sake of comedy.
BTW … it’s not the first time Chelsea’s directed a homophobic tweet at Graham. She did it back in January asking, “@LindseyGrahamSC what kind of d*** sucking video do they have on you for you 2 be acting like this? Wouldn’t coming out be more honorable?”
She’s standing by her words. Handler hasn’t deleted either tweet.
