Did Nancy Mace make a Lindsey Graham gay joke after he called out her alleged temper tantrum?

LGBTQ Nation analyzed Mace's social-media response to Sen. Lindsey Graham's rebuke of her airport conduct, reading her post, 'Interesting. Lindsey Graham all of a sudden wants to talk about women', as an insinuation about Graham's sexuality. Mace did not confirm or deny that reading.

After Sen. Graham issued a statement distancing himself from Mace's airport behavior and urging respect for law enforcement, Mace posted a response on social media that LGBTQ Nation interpreted as a veiled jab at Graham's personal life. The outlet noted the long history of public speculation about Graham's sexuality and read Mace's phrasing as an intentional invocation of it. The post was widely screenshotted and circulated before the LGBTQ Nation piece was published. (Note: the LGBTQ Nation URL returned a 403 at time of catalog build; headline and quote sourced from Mediaite's contemporaneous reporting of the same post.)
