Why is he getting away with it?
DearAuntCrabby Mississippi— Once a slave state, ALWAYS a slave state And if you think that’s extreme, you are in denial
You don't learn from history by denying it.
If you honestly believe their southern pride has anything to do with slavery you are delusional and there's no conversation that can be had.
LynnPescaro Uh duh that would be because she is a racist...
DearAuntCrabby I hope the racist loses.

But that’s a Democrat institution.
Gee, Trump looks more than comfortable standing at the rear of cindy-hyde Smith w a grin on his face. He's backing her!
Thank goodness they're all under the watchful eye of the Fourth Estate!
There he goes. Looming over her like a creeper
A traitor and a racist, enjoying quality time together. How sweet.
Celebrating treason is something I've never been able to figure out.
She has no business being elected or appointed to any public office.
She can embrace Confederate history. It is history and it's not going away because you take down a statue. However, she can't stand up and make racist degrading remarks about people of any color. That behavior can not be tolerated in our congress.
Seg deb
Just look at that face of hers. It embodies KKK ideology. You just know if you met her
No surprise after that hanging comment.
Sick!
The southern states still believe that they are Confederates not one Nation.
Hillary does more she kisses it
DUH most people from the south also do. It has been in there culture for 100 of years. and People in the North are no different.. so what is your point ?
ms_rogers The Senate should be about the future, Not the past. We need forward thinkers.
elynnhardi1 No! What was your first clue?
No one cares.
SallyDeal4 She is a racist. Just like the Crazy old man.
CyrusToulabi She will make Mississippi the racist state.
So?
Ronald tron en un maldito perro
This lady seems to be as intelligent as a box of rocks. When will Americans demand better candidates to represent us? She may not be racist, just stupid.
Okay goofball mviser I looked at the video. So a guy has his arm around this woman apparently at a press conference and she was expressing her affection for him. The context shows she doesn't LIKE public hangings but would attend because she likes him. You're WAY off.
I wish a Robert E Lee statue would fall on her.
... and she's gonna win. (Hello? This IS Missi- fuckin'-ssppi we're talkin' about here!)
I guess one would say that its racial if they were ignorant to my states history. A) KKK was democrats (MS was once ran by them) used to rid the state of white republican men and blacks B) my state used public hangings as capital punishment and was viewed by everybody!
Confederate history is more then just about Slavery... It is about state rights and individual freedoms.
So what are you trying to do oh magnificent WaPo? Exclude Mississippi from the Union?

If the LEFTIST MOB which includes CNN nytimes MSNBC use race race race then so can everyone else. Democrats have nothing else. Their programs almost destroyed our economy under Obama. Why does this man act like a Dog on National television?
The Washington Post has embraced the legacy of mass murderer Gen. William Sherman and anti-black President Abraham Lincoln, who suggested sending blacks back to Africa.
This coverage is just free advertising to her base. She wants her/Trump base to turn out. Trump has advised her on how to garner free advertising that her/his base like.
So she now a democrat cool
It's only appropriate Trump stumps for his his racist galpal! Her public apology was a mirror of his insincere, wooden, staged public apologies....of which there were only 2 (I think) that he's agreed to! mmflint jimcarrey billmaher jimacosta VoteBlue
Hyde-Smith and Trump, GOP polytrics makes strange bedfellows it’s true As the old pidgin-style adage says, monkey see monkey do. Humans and chimps share 98.8 percent of their DNA, some might eschew But matrilineall genealogy confirms, ha ha, that means we are all related too.
I must admit that a suit suits her good. Much more discreet than a sheet and a hood.
Confederate history is important, we should never forget the past.
An unqualified candidate, who will probably win because she is right wing and racist.
The more she does it the weaker her belief becomes.
NothingButHate StopDividingUs WAPO
Confederate history? Try slavery.
Hyde-Smith and Trump, in bigotry obviously is probably what they believe But little do they know our great, great grandma was Mitochondrial Eve. White folks’ ignorance about race still today makes no sense Conveniently ignoring the truth, despite the genetic evidence.
Even if she embraced Confederate history, such fact alone doesn't make her racist. General Lee wasn't racist. Confederacy is part of Southern tradition not related to slavery. It's also part of the Democratic Party's history. ...
Does WaPo ever wonder why the divisions were known by the state they represented?
Bigot and Hate Monger ,, And proud of it,,,!
American history!
TJSeraphim Sad!
It's a difficult proposition to convince those who only drink koolaid to now drink iced tea. Even if just for the here and now.
Hope her defeat come to end of this issue.
You can take the hillbilly out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the hillbilly.
Nice try. More racist coments from the leftist peanut gallery
I'm SHOCKED I tell you! Who could have guessed that deep South Republican has a fondness for the Confederate Flag? Shocked! I pray Espy wins. This is disgusting.
This DEPLORABLE has to be BOOTED OUT!
It’s part of AMERICAN history. It’s what made us what we are. Grow up!
Well at least she is constant. The voters who supported her therefore supportive confederacy.
Racist witch
Mississippi - You have a chance here to convince the rest of the country that you are NOT the backward and ignorant people that we have long feared you are. How will you vote, Mississippi? With a racist or against bigotry? What's it gonna be, Mississippi?
And racist trump embraces her. No surprise
This woman is mired in the past. Time to move forward w/better, modern, inclusive leadership.
We are paying for the North's foolish post-Civil War mercy. Every Confederate who took up arms in treason should have been executed. Instead, the North let an army of bigots live to return home and breed more bigots.
History is clearly a function of the patriarchy. Why else would there be so much stuff about England?
When, as in Mississippi, you have an electorate that is completely divided by race, (whites vote 90% one way and blacks vote 95% the other) what you have is less a democratically determined vote and more of a Maginot Line.
Slag!
Siri, show me why the Confederacy was doomed
