Hunter Biden Claims 'Everybody Knew' Lindsey Graham Was Gay While Accusing Washington, D.C., of Being Run by a 'Closeted Gay Mafia'

Hunter Biden is making headlines after claiming Washington, D.C., is run by a "closeted gay mafia."

During an appearance on Jennifer Welch's "I've Had It" podcast, the former first son also alleged "everybody knew" late Senator Lindsey Graham was gay.

While discussing Republican politicians, Biden claimed he wasn't joking when he spoke about what he described as a secretive network operating in the nation's capital.

"Look, before when I would say this and I would joke around and everybody kind of laughs about it... but I know for certain and I'm not kidding now, is that there is — and everybody in D.C. knows this," he said. "I mean, I lived there for 20 years. My dad was a senator, vice president, president, all my whole life for 54 years of my life."

Biden then made his most explosive allegation.

"Everybody knows there is like this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in Washington, D.C., and everybody knows every single one of them who's gay," he claimed.

Biden argued that living in the closet can create anger and resentment, claiming it often manifests in public life.

"I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitriol inside a person, that they take it out on the rest of the world and they do," he said. "So what they do is their whole lives they've been closeted. And so you have this like black ball inside yourself, this blackened heart by the fact that you can't be who you want to be. And so you take it out on everybody else."

"And these men, largely men, have done exactly that," he continued. "There are — everybody knows who they are. Everybody."

Podcast host Welch then asked Biden whether Graham was one of the people he was referring to.

"Lindsey Graham?" Welch asked.

"Yeah. Of course," Biden responded. He then doubled down.

"By the way, for Lindsey Graham, everybody knows that Lindsey Graham was gay," Biden said.

Welch replied, "Right."

Hunter explained why he believed Graham's sexuality was relevant to the conversation, saying, "I liked Lindsey Graham when I was a kid, but everybody knew that he was gay."

Biden added that, in his view, the subject only mattered because of the policies he believes some Republican lawmakers have supported.

"The only reason it's relevant is because of the fact that they seem to do everything that they possibly can to take out their inability to know and live their true life on everybody else," he said.

Welch agreed, saying she believes it is relevant because "during the day, they are diminishing and instituting institutionalized bigotry against the LGBTQ-plus community."

"Yeah," Biden responded.
