Hunter Biden claims many Republican officials in Washington are secretly gay

Hunter Biden reiterated his assertion that a sizable number of Republican men in Washington, D.C., are closeted gay. He first discussed the idea on an appearance on The Don Lemon Show, describing a “closettocracy” and saying the alleged group’s self‑hate fuels anti‑LGBT rhetoric. Biden specifically mentioned Senator Lindsey Graham, alleging “everyone knew” he was gay, and later named Senator Josh Hawley, policy adviser Stephen Miller and Speaker Kevin McCarthy as possible members, though he declined to confirm any names.

The comments were repeated on Jennifer Welch’s “I’ve Had It” podcast, where Biden again described the supposed “closeted gay mafia” and suggested he could compile a list of names. No evidence was offered, and the individuals cited denied the allegations. The remarks have sparked media attention and political commentary but have not led to any official investigations or policy actions.
