Mississippi Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith Celebrates Mississippi Confederacy At Every Opportunity AOC New Humanism

Mississippi senator Cindy Hyde-Smith was appointed to the Senate on April 9, 2018 and now seeks to win the election to fill out the rest of the term. If she wins, Sen. Hyde-Smith will probably seek a full six-year term as Mississippi’s senator in the November 2020 election.

The latest race-related battle around Tuesday’s Mississippi Senate race with Democrat Mike Espy follows a recent leaked tape in which Hyde-Smith said that she would gladly attend a “public hanging” if one of her supporters invited her. Referring to her own supporter in Tupelo, she said: “"If he [the supporter] invited me to a public hanging [referring to Espy], I'd be on the front row"

Hyde-Smith is very proud of Mississippi history and has no hesitation to celebrate the segregated south, saying that the Confederacy represents “Mississippi history at its best.”

In the case of her comments about a public hanging of Espy, she has finally apologized because Americans were stunned that she would speak so publicly about her racism — and in a senatorial race the entire nation was watching. Hyde-Smith is expected to win because — well, it is Mississippi.
