The internet moved quickly after reports of Senator Lindsey Graham's death, but one viral claim stood out from the flood of reactions. A self-described former escort alleged on social media that Graham had secretly paid for same-sex encounters years ago while publicly supporting policies criticised by LGBTQ+ advocates.
The post rapidly gained attention, fuelling fresh debate about political hypocrisy and the responsibility of sharing explosive accusations online. However, despite the widespread discussion, there is no publicly verified evidence supporting the allegations, which remain unsubstantiated.
