Rick Wilson: ‘Hyde-Smith Is An Embarrassment’ But ‘It’s Mississippi’

Rick Wilson, the Republican strategist and author of “Everything Trump Touches Dies,” argued Monday that Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) is a “an embarrassment,” but that she will probably still win Tuesday’s special election against Democrat Mike Espy because “it’s still Mississippi, and also, it’s Mississippi.”

  1. Forget it, Jake, it’s Mississippi!

  2. That sounds strangely like an excuse we should’ve stopped making 50+ years ago. She’s an abominable racist, white nationalist, anti-democratic, neofascist pigdog and should be spoken of as such, and where she comes from in this country should no longer be referenced for her…or anyone…as a shrug and “whatchagonnado?” type thing, even if Mississippi is the epicenter of this rotten racist country’s racist rotting racism. Fuck her. Fuck the GOP. And fuck anyone who opposes Trump but supported the GOP during its 50+ years of blatantly, foreseeably, predictably ramping up to this very situation, but who now wants to pretend they can get into heaven by pish-poshing at Trump and the horrifying debacle we’re living though, as if they did not have, at the very least, CONSTRUCTIVE knowledge they were enabling it all and to which they were gleefully contributing. Rick Wilson may be a fun enemy of my enemy, but he and the rest like him are STILL MY ENEMY.

    NO MERCY. NO QUARTER.

    Trump in the White House, Hyde-Smith in the Senate, its all a national embarrassment!

  4. If–when–enough Mississippians get tired of hearing this and decide that something must be done, things will begin to change.

  5. You’d think that even though they like that she’s a Klanswoman there’d be some blowback simply because she’s obviously so fucking stupid. I know that you have to be mentally challenged to be a White Nationalist Cultist, but sheesh, she seems to score somewhere between gravel and a can of vanilla icing.
