We‘ve obtained photos from Cindy Hyde-Smith’s high school yearbook, revealing she attended a segregation academy set up so that white parents wouldn’t have to send their kids to school with black kids. The mascot even carried a Confederate flag. #MSSenhttps://t.co/tFspo5w1Mc

Guess which Republican Senator votes with Trump the most…

Cindy Hyde-Smith.

The Mississippi candidate who made a lynching joke & said voter suppression is a great idea.

The owner of the San Francisco Giants, Charles B. Johnson, and his wife just gave $5400 to Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Johnson previously gave $1K to "Black Americans for the President’s Agenda" which ran a racist ad saying that Democrats will bring back lynchinghttps://t.co/ZH4kiYw8Ke
