I think I'm allowed to call fascist on this one
“Let’s make voting harder for people who don’t like” ”wtf I’m not a fascist, stop calling me that, you’re hurting my feelings”
Wow it's not even behind something like signature checks or shitty postcards that don't get mailed back. She just flat out said it.
Honestly saying this sort of thing should be instant disbarment from anything political.
I hope she's Roy Moore 2.0
Holy shit that quote alone
Hyde-Smith isn't even the worst Mississippi politician, that goes to Karl Oliver. On May 20, 2017, Oliver submitted a Facebook post stating that the Louisiana lawmakers who supported removing Confederate monuments from their state "should be LYNCHED". He made the statement following the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, the last of a group of Confederate monuments removed from New Orleans, Louisiana. His statement compared the take-down of the monuments to book burning and Nazism. House Speaker Philip Gunn condemned Oliver's statement, and stripped him of his vice-chairmanship of the House Forestry Committee. Oliver's district includes the town of Money, where African American teenager Emmett Till was lynched.
Honestly coments like this should go against an oath to preserve democracy in this country and result in removal from office pending ethics investigation. This kind of behavior cannot stand
Mississippi has the largest black population of any state and the voter supression to match, but if Alabama can crush Roy Moore I imagine a black moderate democrat can do well enough against someone if they make enough gaffes.
Is Google gonna give her money for this too? We all know they agree with a fascist, after all.
if google had a grain of integrity, they would sue to get their donations back.
I think they would be more simply served by just donating a far larger amount to the competition. 5k to this dirt bag? 50k to the person who can beat her.
I wonder how that'd go.

Lemme know when this is actually fucking legal to do.
It's legal to do now? It literally happened in the midterm election a week ago.
That's okay, I think it's okay for people to make targeted attacks / threats of violence against these fucking parasites and clear them out of office. The nation will be better off without them.
Fascists are the worst snow-flakes, especially in America. They're mostly white They blow in out of nowhere and cause a huge fuss They tend to greatly disrupt public works They're a danger to society in large-enough numbers You can melt them simply by speaking to them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy hey my 2 second shitpost invalidates your 2 second shitpost I win the argument QED
It was some amazingly shit PR for them to donate after that the company tries to create an image of diversity, so they really fucked that up there
Meanwhile half the country is like "YAAAYYYY WOOOOOOO!!! GIVE US FASCISM!!!! I DON'T PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT DEMOCRACY ANYMORE!!!!"
its like her race to loose, you'd think she might tone it down given how doug jones went one state over
Damn white people
When your argument is literally "Google donated after she did X therefore they donated because she did X" then yes your argument is invalid because it's obviously far more likely that Google's donations were due to incompetence and not actually fucking supporting fascism.
So can we...
Some political science students were talking to her to research candidates, she took pictures of them without their consent and is using them to try to make herself look better, she deleted the tweet. https://imgur.com/a/yK8bgZ1
