Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith posed for a photo wearing a confederate soldier's hat and holding a rifle in a Facebook post that surfaced Tuesday.
Hyde-Smith took the photo during a 2014 visit to the Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library. "Mississippi history at its best!" Hyde-Smith exclaimed. Davis was the president of
the Confederacy during the Civil War, and his former estate now includes a library and museum in his honor.
"I enjoyed my tour of Beauvoir. The Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library located in Biloxi," Hyde-Smith wrote. "This is a must see. Currently on display are artifacts connected
to the daily life of the Confederate Soldier including weapons. Mississippi history at its best!"
The photo comes as Hyde-Smith is under fire after saying during a campaign stop in November that she would gladly attend a "public hanging" if one of her supporters invited her. She
is running against Democrat Mike Espy, who is African-American, in a Nov. 27 runoff.
Hyde-Smith shared four photos from the museum visit, including her posing in the confederate hat, and other photos of her holding a rifle and sword from the museum.
Several companies, including Walmart, requested that their donations to Hyde-Smith's campaign be refunded because of her "public hanging" comment, which she said was made in
jest.

This wouldn't be any kind of big deal on its own, but with context it's pretty strong evidence that she's a racist idiot.
"OK WE GET IT, YOU'RE A RACIST CUNT"
Were her klan robes at the cleaner's?
I find it weird that Jefferson Davis has a presidential library
yey southern tradition of forcibly enslaving people!
Mississippi even keeps a statue of him in the US Capitol.
These aren't even dog whistles at this point, she's blasting a fucking vuvuzela everywhere she goes instead
