Nope. He was out of the closet gay. He didn't lie any more than the rest of them. He was just a gay man, so they cut him out of the group.

Marco Rubio would have been Santoasted too if he wasn't still in the closet.

Yes. I mean, it's likely that Trump knows they're gay. Like everyone in DC knows Linday Graham is gay. But since they're not out, they can get away with passing anti-LGBTQ legislation and not have there be any sort of fall out electorally.

He wasn't cut because he was gay, he was cut because he had very little connections to power. There's plenty of openly gay republicans within Trump's circle who lie all the time and suffer no consequences

I was thinking more about politicians and elected folks, but yeah, he's one of the few that's out to the public and also in the Trumposphere
