Companies say contributions made before lynching comments became public; law makes that unlikely
Half a dozen corporations have asked Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to reimburse their contributions to her runoff campaign.
The companies have been under intense scrutiny in recent days for their financial support of the senator in the wake of her remark that she would be “on the front row” of a “public hanging” at a campaign stop earlier this month. The NAACP has said her comments evoke Mississippi’s bloody history of lynchings.
The video has drawn new attention to her runoff race against Democratic challenger and former U.S. agriculture secretary Mike Espy, who is black.

This moron is a train wreck! Just who doesn’t think she is going to be a problem in the Senate?
***********
Any Democrat is going to be a much greater problem. We need to close ranks and make the best of this situation. Later, she can be primaried.
What evil deed has she done?
We have to stop giving in to the Left when they make baseless, senseless charges!
Even without choosing McDaniel, the GOP could have chosen an actual GOP candidate instead of a lifelong Democrat who may well be on a kamikaze mission for the Democrats as we speak. Either the MS GOP is spectacularly dumb, or this was done on purpose to stick it to Trump.
The Democrats are desperate to win this seat and that's why they're throwing everything they can at Hyde-Smith hoping something sticks.
They're planning that a 52/48 Senate means a Romney/Collins/Murkowski alliance can thwart Trump (Pubbies can't count on Manchin now that he's been safely re-elected). 53/47 and Pence can break the tie. Alliance is useless.
Espy must win at all costs.
Probably Republicans too, but it was a stupid ignorant comment even though she was not talking about lynchings, but rather public hangings that used to occur around the world. They too were pretty gruesome, but they often made people think about doing something wrong. Which of course was why they were held. Had nothing to do with race. But speaking of a hanging is going to evoke thoughts of lynchings, especially in this day and age of highly sensitive people, and a press all too eager to make a Republican look like a racist, while smoothing over the statement if uttered by a Democrat.
“Why do you allow yourself to be shaped by the media.”
I’m not “shaped” by the media, but rather what come out of this idiot woman’s mouth! We are in deep Shit if this is the best that MS can come up with! And It’s long past time we ended this “Deep South Protocol” of switching political Parties in order to stay on the side that’s in charge for the moment. This woman is a RAT retread! It says that the politicians in The South don’t have any principles other than making sure that they stay in power! Put Haley Barbour in a white cowboy suit and he could go on a remake of The Dukes of Hazard as Boss Hogg! It is shameful what the GOPe political machine in MS has done to Chris McDaniel.
“As we saw in Alabama the GOPe has no problem campaigning for and electing a Democrat.”
And that makes the case for The South being simply a bunch of political hacks who have no principles and fewer morals!
The DemoKKKrats don’t miss a trick when it comes to trying to steal Senate seats.
Thanks, McDaniels!
******************************************
You do realize that the DemoKKKrats, in conjunction with Mississippi RINOs, stole this Senate seat FROM McDaniels? There wouldn’t have been an election contesting this seat this year (due to Thad Coughlan’s retirement) had the RINOs and their ‘RAT allies not colluded to wrest it from McDaniels. So don’t blame McDaniels.
I would vote for Childers.
Honestly, I don’t know about all that but have you ever heard her speak? Seriously, is that the best the governor of Mississippi could have selected?
“What evil deed has she done?
We have to stop giving in to the Left when they make baseless, senseless charges!”
She’s as full of $hit as a Christmas Goose! Every time she opens her mouth, she makes Joe Biden look sane! She’s giving the Left all the ammo to use against her. In this case the MSM isn’t the problem. You run a quality candidate and you avoid all this nonsense. Plus just because she backed Kavanaugh doesn’t mean she’s a Conservative. The fact of the matter is, she voted for Hillary back in 2008 when she was a Democrat. Why would any thinking person believe that she’d make a good Republican Senator except maybe Haley Barbour.
Her comment had zero racial connotation. The media turned it into that because they want to empower Romney, MooKowSki and Collins on judges.
53 renders the RINOs powerless on the next SCOTUS vacancy. The media knows this, so they are smearing Hyde-Smith like they did Kavanaugh.
Don’t let them win.
Bingo.
Bingo!
They want to empower Romney/Collins/MooKowSki and create another Kavanaugh circus.
53 eliminates that play.
They are evil and we can’t let them win.
I didn’t know that she was a democrat until 2010. Pretty unbelievable this is was the choice for Haley, Mitch, and the gov.
My guess is she voted for Hillary and obama.
There is a book called La Storia, which tells about Italians who were lynched and other atrocities in America.
I think many European immigrants suffered a horrible fate.
Here’s what I feel about it:
Different times, different culture, different intolerance, but we, for the most part, have become all AMericans. There is only one group today, who have become a throwback to those awful times...the democrat party.
CHS could've been a Khmer Rouge sympathizer, but because she's running as a Republican she will do whatever President Trump and/or Boss Hogg Barbour tell her to do.
“53 renders the RINOs powerless on the next SCOTUS vacancy. The media knows this, so they are smearing Hyde-Smith like they did Kavanaugh”
She will win! That said, I am not at all sure that she’s not just another Collins or Murkowski. Time will tell. She’s better that Espy if only because she helps the majority number. And don’t forget we get never-Trumper Romney in place of Orrin Hatch. The number 53 doesn’t mean much if these four get together. We’re right back where we were this Congress.
“We need to close ranks and make the best of this situation. Later, she can be primaried.”
Absolutely true! But it’s like taking two steps forward and one step back. And then there’s the issue of the GOPe a$$holes in both Alabama and Mississippi.
