“With her arm around a cattle rancher, Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, Republican of Mississippi, drew laughter and applause at a recent campaign event when she gushed about how highly she thought of him: “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.””
If “he” invited me to a public hanging...
The “he” is the “cattle rancher”. NOT her opponent, NOT Trump.
Still Stupid.

Yes you are very correct. The context was important ........ yet, she could/should have seen what might come as a result of her words.
She should have known how the media would twist her remarks to suit socialist purposes. Just like Gov.-elect DeSanits should have known that he could’t say “money around”, but Gary Warren Hartpence could have the “Monkey Business” yacht.
