Jackson, November 26 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Mississippi, where voters go to the polls on Tuesday for a runoff Senate election, newly revealed photographs show incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith wearing a Confederate army cap and posing with a vintage rifle, sword and other Confederate artifacts.
The photos were from a Facebook post Hyde-Smith published in 2014, which she captioned: “Mississippi history at its best!” This comes after a viral video recorded just days before the midterm elections shows Hyde-Smith praising a campaign supporter with the words: “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.”
Mississippi was once considered the lynching capital of the United States, and Hyde-Smith’s Democratic opponent, Mike Espy, is African-American.
