JACKSON—U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith accepted a donation from Peter Sieve, a businessman in Washington state known for his white supremacist views, just days after a video
published by Bayou Brief surfaced in which she says she would be “on the front row” if a supporter invited her to “a public hanging.”
Zieve donated $2,700, the max donation an individual can make, to Hyde-Smith’s campaign on Nov. 14. Progressive newsletter Popular Info first reported the donation, which came
three days progressive blogger Lamar White published the video on the Bayou Brief on Nov. 11.
The State of Washington sued Zieve in 2011 for refusing to hire Muslims at his business, Electroimpact. He required applicants to submit photos of themselves, documents show.
"I can tell you that most Chinese hate moslems,” the lawsuit quotes him saying in an April 2015 email. “Not as much as me, but an adequate amount of hate."
In an October 2015 email, Zieve responded to an employee’s announcement that his wife had given birth to a baby by writing that “381,000 terrorist savages have gotten into Europe so
far this year and if we don’t make more babies the light will (go) out on civilization.” He offered members of his nearly all-white staff a $1,000 marriage bonus and a $1,000
“procreation bonus.”
Zieve explained the bonuses in 2015 emails to employees, court documents reveal. “When (our sons and daughters) choose to not repopulate and allow our wonderful country to be
backfilled with rubbish from the desperate and criminal populations of the third world, I find that to be disgusting and I find those persons to make these decisions to be repulsive and I
don’t like them around me,” Zieve wrote in an email that February.
The Jackson Free Press contacted Zieve Friday to ask why he donated to Hyde-Smith. “I believe she’s a Republican,” he said. When asked if Hyde-Smith’s “public hanging” played any
role in his donation, Zieve denied knowledge of the comment and quickly hung up the phone. “I don’t know anything about that. Sorry, I can’t help you. Bye,” Zieve told the Jackson Free
Press.
Zieve settled the lawsuit for $485,000 in 2017 and issued an apology. Afterward, he made a run for Mukilteo City Council in Washington, and part of his platform included a plank to
“strengthen public safety in response to transient and criminal populations moving into Mukilteo.” He attacked his opponent for neither being married nor having kids. He lost after
winning 33 percent of the vote. In 2016, Zieve admitted he was behind a campaign to stop construction of a mosque in Mukilteo.
Zieve made maximum donations to other Republican candidates this year, including to Rick Scott’s U.S. Senate campaign in Florida, Marsha Blackburn’s U.S. Senate campaign in
Tennessee, Martha McSally’s U.S. Senate campaign in Arizona, and dozens more. His donations to GOP candidates go back decades.
