Nothing to see here, folks. Just a 79-year-old man admiring a 20-year-old man in his underwear on Instagram. Get your minds out of the gutter. Randy McNally is a grandfather, for gosh sake.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A young man’s nearly naked pictures on Instagram have turned into a controversy for Tennessee’s lieutenant governor.

Randy McNally’s Instagram history started circulating on social media Wednesday. His critics say it shows he is a hypocrite as the legislature passes anti-LGBTQ legislation.

The pictures were posted on an Instagram account by a man identifying himself as Franklyn. One of the pictures shows some of the man’s backside.

The lieutenant governor’s verified Instagram account commented with heart emojis and fire emojis. His account also said, “you can turn a rainy day into rainbows and sunshine!”

The lieutenant governor’s account also commented on a picture in which it appears the man is not wearing underwear.

The TN Holler has more details, including a lot of racy pictures with plenty heart 💗 and flame 🔥 emojis from McNally, all from his verified Instagram account.

Enter Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, who it turns out has been openly leaving heart emojis and other encouraging comments under very racy pics on the instagram page of a young gay male aspiring performer named Franklyn McClur, who grew up in Knoxville – McNally is from Oak Ridge, but represents parts of Knoxville, where he lives with his wife Janice. They have 2 adult daughters. Mcnally is Roman Catholic.

We were alerted to the pics by an anonymous twitter user who came across them – someone who knew of Franklyn and was entertained by his page. They sent us screenshots and told us where to find them. We were in disbelief.
