Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith’s first-round victory in the special election for the Senate seat in Mississippi has hit a number of obstacles in the final weeks, leading up to her November 27, runoff against Democrat Mike Espy.

Cindy Hyde-Smith made a “lynching” joke a couple of weeks ago Hyde-Smith, exposing a variety of corporate interests for their support of white supremacy and leading donors such as Wal Mart to recall their donations to her campaign.

She then “joked” about suppressing black people’s vote in Mississippi. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s newest bit of news is a Facebook post she wrote back in 2014, touring Confederate “president” Jefferson Davis’s home.

I enjoyed my tour of Beauvoir. The Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library located in Biloxi. This is a must see. Currently on display are artifacts connected to the daily life of the Confederate Soldier including weapons. Mississippi history at its best!
