Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) ended his Fox and Friends interview Tuesday morning with a bang, saying that if a DNA test showed him to be Iranian it would be “terrible” after cheering on the President for “having so much fun.”

“I’ll probably be Iranian, it would be like terrible,” he said of taking a DNA test.

  1. Don’t worry, Lindsey. You’re 100% douchebag.

  2. “I’ll probably be Iranian, it would be like terrible,” he said of taking a DNA test.

    Yes, because human beings of Iranian lineage are terrible. Sort of like Mexicans. Also terrible. If God thought their lives were worthy of respect he'd have had them born in the United States. And not be Iranian or Mexican. And be white. And a man. And straight. And have a few other positive qualities all you terrible Iranians and Mexicans don't have.
  3. Don’t think they’d get a clear reading, there, boss. They’d tell you to quit licking boots for a week and then come back so they can get a representative sample.

  4. Well, Lindsey, geneticists haven’t been able to identify a gay gene yet, so you’re safe in that regard.

    And it’s nice to see you are still a racist asshole. Heavens, how could anyone live with themselves if they found they had Iranian ancestry, since everyone knows you would automatically grow up to be a terrorist?!

  5. Is “closet case” genetically passed down through DNA, Lindsey?
