Once the Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce now serving as one of Mississippi Senators. Hyde-Smith was born in Brookhaven, Mississippi and former student at the University of Southern Mississippi.
Although her all-round success as the first woman to represent Mississippi in Congress. Hyde-Smith won that runoff election, in great part because of Trump’s endorsement, and became the Senate’s fifty-third Republican. However, In 2010 Hyde-Smith switched parties and became a Republican. It bears to wonder why this former democratic hop on the Trump train so quickly.
Now more than a year later, Hyde-Smith is held bent by the hyper-partisan moment and is working hard to repay the man who solidified her place in the Senate. Although that means tarnishing Mississippi values. Mississippi has a long history of racial injustice. Having a senator not just supporting this unqualified president, but making racial slurs saying, “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.”
Hyde-Smith comments are reprehensible. They have no place in our political discourse, in Mississippi, or our country. We need leaders not people who divide a certain community.
As far as we know and her words show that she lacks the understanding and judgment to represent the people of our state.”
