Sen. Lindsey Graham Was Recorded Saying 'I Like to Cross Dress'?

On Oct. 1, 2023, hours after CBS News' "Face the Nation" aired an interview with U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in which he spoke about the federal government averting a shutdown, the X account @drefanzor published a video supposedly showing a segment of that conversation. The post was captioned, "People missed the most important part of the Lindsey Graham interview."

According to the clip, Graham supposedly said on the show, "We had to keep the government open. We've got 45 days to fix both problems. Listen, people call me 'Lady G' just because I like to cross dress. Maybe I put on some lipsticks and heels and tuck my testicles back using Gorilla tape, but that doesn't mean I don't love this country."
