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.
