Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith won her closely-watched runoff election Tuesday night in Mississippi, becoming the first woman elected to represent the state in the upper house of Congress. Despite having made a series of controversial statements, Hyde-Smith successfully fended off a serious challenge from Democrat Mike Espy in a deep-red state President Trump won by 18 points.
The victory by Hyde-Smith also means there will be 24 women in the Senate next year, setting a new record. Twenty-three women now serve in the Senate.
Hyde-Smith, a cattle farmer, had served as the state's senator for seven months after being appointed to fill the seat vacated Thad Cochran, who resigned in March due to health issues.
Democrats had hoped Espy might pull off an upset win after Hyde-Smith made a series of controversial comments about race in a state where the Confederate flag remain part of Mississippi's state flag.
Google, Walmart, Facebook, and Major League Baseball are among the companies that have asked for a refund of their campaign contributions after Hyde-Smith was recorded earlier this month referencing a public hanging.
"If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row," Hyde-Smith said, referring to a Mississippi rancher who was supporting her campaign.
She has refused to apologize for the comments, and said in a public statement, "any attempt to turn this into a negative connotation is ridiculous."
"If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row"- Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith says in Tupelo, MS after Colin Hutchinson, cattle rancher, praises her.

You know she is a Republican by how many times they say CONTROVERSIAL.
Democrats are never controversial.
Meanwhile Barack Obama just said that identity politics and racial hatred is OK because whites started it 170 years ago that’s what we’re dealing with pure hatred.

“I would fight a circle saw for him. If he invited me to a public hanging, I would be on the front row,” Hyde-Smith says...

Sound like she wanted lynchings? Of course not. But with a dishonest press...
Christmas lights hung. Tree ornaments, hung.
Apparently she didn’t become controversial until she switched from dhimmicrap to pubby...
Probably the correct history of the War of Northern Aggression.
Out west here, we call that a RANCHER.
She did that when she was a Democrat.
Meanwhile, former KKK Member and Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was Hillary’s Mentor.
Espy is as crooked as a three-dollar bill.
<><> he's a Clinton retread (yuck).
<><> he's an unrestrained globalist ---- a $750K lobbyist for a Third World tinpot now on trial for rape murder and mayhem.
<><> indicted for taking gifts, sports tickets, lodging, and airfare. Espy cannily refused to plea bargain; he was later acquitted of 30 criminal counts.
<><> Sun-Diamond Growers was fined $1.5 million for giving Espy $6,000 in gifts; reversed at the Court of Appeals level.
<><> Espy's Chief of Staff was convicted on three counts of making false statements and sentenced to 27 months in prison.
<><> Tyson Foods Foundation gave a $1,200 scholarship to Espy's then-girlfriend.
<><> Espy was forced to admit they deceived the Clinton WH forcing Espy to resign as Clinton's Secy of Agriculture.
<><> Tyson Foods Inc., Clinton facilitator, plead guilty to felony charges of giving Espy gifts. (hat tip WIKI)
How many rows of cattle does she plant?
sorry couldn’t help myself!
This article is nowhere near biased enough.
Here, let me help:
“Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith stole her way to an unexpected upset victory during her closely-watched runoff election Tuesday night in Mississippi. Mississippi hates women, so becoming the first woman elected to represent the state in the upper house of Congress upset many Mississippians. Despite having made racial insulting evil Nazi controversial statements, Hyde-Smith barely won the election versus Espy, getting only a tiny 12 percentage point victory. Remember, deep-red Mississippi gave President Trump a victory by SIX MORE POINTS.”
...
“Democrats had hoped Espy might pull off an easy win after racist genocidal bigot Hyde-Smith made a series of horrible evil comments about race in a state where the Confederate flag remain part of Mississippi’s state flag and the entire state is a bunch of slack-jawed hillbillies. “
Agreed. I tried to be a cattle farmer but even though I planted them, used a good fertilizer and had good rain I could just never get them to grow.
LOL........
With either one you have a good manure producing facility.
OK, now that she has won, can we start looking for her replacement?
That seat comes up in 2020 and we need someone who is not a Barbour/Bush League Republican.
“Cattle farmer”? I never heard of that-we call someone who keeps/raises cattle a “rancher” around here...
What do you call an Ethiopian with a dog?
A vegetarian.
What do you call an Ethiopian with two dogs?
A rancher.
LMAO!
Because lots of folks would welcome the return of public hangings. This isn’t hard.
