Senator Cindy Hyde Smith who will be in a runoff for her seat on Nov. 27th against Mike Epsy, an African American, used highly racist language in a newly released video stating, "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row."

Lynchings aren't public hangings.

Sounds like she's an idiot, not a racist.

There's plenty of overlap.

Sure, but I'd say it's more likely that a racist is also an idiot than that an idiot is also a racist.

Misogynist Dems attacking the state’s first ever woman to represent them in Congress.

I am totally shocked that a right wing extremist republican would support her words.

"Misogynist Dems", LOL, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, good one. But do you realize that some people are gonna think you're serious?

Sounds to me she's an idiot that's also a racist. You have to consider where the comment was made as hangings in Mississippi were quite common against black people.

Stupid and racist. Of course, anything racist is stupid which is why Trump is stupid.

 

[tlongII]

Sorry I disagree. It might be a poor choice of words, but I don't see racism in her statement. She was referring to accepting a speaking engagement.

Not mutually exclusive.
