U.S. Senator Mark Kirk was caught on a live microphone Thursday referring to Lindsey Graham, an unmarried Republican presidential hopeful and South Carolina senator, as a “bro with no ho.”
Kirk, who was elected to the Senate in 2010 after years in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Illinois’ 10th District, made the comment while votes were being taken during a Senate Appropriations Committee markup, according to the Chicago Tribune.
“He’s a bro with no ho,” Kirk said, apparently talking to a colleague. “That’s what we’d say on the South Side.”
