“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”?
She will win, but she’s still not one of Mississippi’s best and brightest. I don’t get to vote there, but I still have a right to voice my opinion. It’s just too bad that as you say, we have to fight back. If she were a better candidate “fighting back” would not have been necessary.
The same could be said for the race in Alabama. Roy Moore is a loony toon! And unfortunately for the GOP, he failed to win a race that like the one now in MS we should have won going away. That was a huge loss all around! The country got that A$$HOLE Sessions for AG for nearly two years! The little pud “played Trump, and made Mueller possible, and you can’t argue that Mueller hasn’t been a huge drag on the Trump Agenda. Finally, at the end of the day, we’ve lost a Senate seat to the RATs for six years! Hyde-Smith is Roy Moore in a skirt!
