Her comments were being discussed on several of the Fox News shows today. She just isn’t temperate with her remarks, and her opponent is gaining on her as a result. Now Trump is going to MS to hold a rally for her because he needs that seat. She has f*cked up her chances and is forcing The President to salvage what should have been a walk away. You just have to wonder what the politics were that caused her to be appointed in the first place. It will be a disaster if MS delivers another RAT to the Senate after the whole debacle next door in Alabama.
“My comments [did not] mean I would enjoy any type of capital punishment sitting there witnessing this. You know, for anyone that was offended by my comments, I certainly apologize. There was no ill will, no intent whatsoever in my statements...This comment was twisted and it was turned into a weapon to be used against me. A political weapon used for nothing but personal and political gain by my opponent.”
Completely accurate. There was NOTHING racist in the comment. NOTHING that praised lynching, or even public hangings - which often involved whites! There is nothing a white candidate can say that cannot be twisted by ill will to paint the white candidate as a racist. So we either need to concede, or FIGHT BACK! Lose the language, and communication becomes impossible!
“It will be a disaster if MS delivers another RAT to the Senate after the whole debacle next door in Alabama.”
So don’t! This is “No time to go wobbly.” I don’t give a damn if she is a RINO. She said nothing wrong, and she’ll vote 100% FOR Trump judges while Espy will vote 100% against!
This is in no way similar to Alabama. She isn’t being accused of running around with kids. She’s being accused of using the word “hanging” in public! OMG! What is next? A clip of her saying “Niggardly”?
