Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) appeared to endorse voter suppression during a campaign stop this month, saying efforts to undermine voting among liberals at certain colleges would be a “great idea.” “And then they remind me that there’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don’t want to vote,” Hyde-Smith can be heard telling a small crowd of young people outside her campaign bus in a video taken Nov. 3 and posted on online Thursday. “Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that’s a great idea.” Hyde-Smith, who was appointed to the Senate in April following the retirement of Thad Cochran, faces Democrat Mike Espy in a Nov. 27 runoff election. The Trump-backed Republican also came under fire last weekend for apparent racist remarks, joking with a crowd about attending a public hanging.

Rather than campaign on the issues, this GOP candidate is tossing out racial dog-whistles at campaign rallies.
She can get away with that crazy racism because she knows she is probably going to win.
Mississippi, you have a rare opportunity to show the world that you are not such a backwards state. Your next-door neighbor did it last year; it's your turn now!

Someone from GA calling Mississippi backwards? lol. I live in Georgia as well, the most liberal city in Georgia. I find it to be more backwards than both Alabama and Mississippi.
Is there anyone on the left with a sense of humor? Anyone that doesn't get offended over everything and anything?

Is there anyone on the right who doesn't have to pretend she didn't mean exactly what she stated and that was intended as a joke?
Anyone with even a shred of intellectual honesty?
That's a bit of an overstatement, don't you think? Georgia is a pink state, or more precisely, a red state with some blue dots. Mississippi has a blue area in the northwest part of the state, but those votes are rarely enough to win statewide. We'll see if a miracle happens, but I'd put those odds south of 1% right now.
EDIT:
One of your posts is not like the other one.
Racist dog whistle? Dogs vote in Mississippi? And they vote Democrat? Are you thinking of Wasserman?GOP Senator Says Voter Suppression Is A ‘Great Idea’

I am not the one who is joking. The woman from MS was joking.

:lamoMore Yankees move down to the Atlanta area, bringing their ****ty politics with them. They ruin their cities by voting for democrats, then move south and vote the same way. We are lucky we are not going to have a socialist pig as our governor, this time around.

I am not pretending anything. The woman was joking. I speak clearly, and directly. You don't have to misinterpret my intentions because I am telling them to you now and am always glad to provide clarity if you do not understand.No, you're the one desperately pretending that she was joking when she clearly wasn't.
Meh. It's what you do.
Refresh my memory. Which neighboring state and what happened last year?
:lamo
Yeah Atlanta is such a horrible city. :lol: Now remind me...
Why exactly did you choose to move to Decatur? Why not just move out to the country?
It's a "great idea" to make it more difficult to vote?
This is from The Onion, right?
Why would I want to move out of the country I love. It is the left that hates America. I would move to SC in a heartbeat but will have to wait until I retire. I spend half my time in Hilton Head and plan on retiring there. Now I reside in Athens, not ****ty Atlanta area.
Doug Jones's upset victory over Roy Moore.
