“The Daily Show” aimed a zinger at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) Wednesday in a segment about shrinking corporate support for Pride month. (Watch the video below.)
After a news clip indicated that some companies still contribute to the festivities but ask to remain anonymous, host Desi Lydic joked:
“C’mon, secretly paying gays because you’re ashamed? You’re major corporations, not Lindsey Graham.”
The bachelor has been the subject of rumors about his sexuality for years but declared “I ain’t gay” in a interview with The New York Times Magazine.
Viewers took note of Lydic’s joke on the YouTube channel where the segment was shared.

“The Lindsey Graham line almost killed me,” said another.
Graham’s communications director did not immediately respond to a HuffPost request for comment.
