Senator Graham Hoisting a Bud Light With Trans Influencer’s Image
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) dredged up unseemly innuendos about Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) after he criticized her defense of the man suspected of leaking classified military documents.
On Sunday, Greene tweeted a picture of Graham holding a can of Bud Light with Dylan Mulvaney’s face on it. The trans influencer has been featured on Bud Light’s cans as part of an advertisement partnership, which has a recent source of right-wing culture war outrage.
The image Greene shared showing Graham holding up the beer can with Mulvaney’s image is a photoshopped fake. The original picture was captured by Jason Bahr for Getty Images. It shows Graham holding a glass of beer as he stood next to CNN anchor Dana Bash. It was taken in 2015, back when Graham was competing against former President Donald Trump for the 2016 Republican nomination.
Graham earlier on Sunday slammed Greene’s Thursday tweet about Jake Teixeira, who has been arrested for his connection to the leak.
“Jake Teixeira is white, male, christian, and antiwar,” Greene wrote in the tweet. “That makes him an enemy to the Biden regime. And he told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more.”
Graham in turn dubbed her response “one of the most irresponsible statements she could make” while appearing on ABC’s “This Week.” “If you’re a member of the military intelligence community and you disagree with American policy and you think you’re going to be okay when it comes to leaking classified information, you’re going to go to jail,” he added of Teixeira.
