THREAD w/ highlights from Cindy Hyde-Smith& #39;s interview today. Yes, this is the trainwreck you think it is.
The interview starts with asking Cindy why she refused to debate @MikeEspyMS and OMG this is awkward. 1/

Byron asked Cindy about her statement that the home of Jefferson Davis president of the Confederacy, is "Mississippi history at its best."
BYRON: "Is this really Mississippi& #39;s history at its best?"
CINDY: "It is displayed very well." 2/

The "civil unrest"?
Cindy refers to lynchings in Mississippi as "civil unrest." There& #39;s nothing civil about terrorism. 3/

BYRON: "Do you support a bill that would keep children under the age of 26 on their parents& #39; health insurance?"
CINDY: "For people that can afford that, when they& #39;re in the position that they need affordable healthcare."
Huh? (Then Cindy lied about lowering drug costs.) 4/

"Do you think the president should have set an example of wearing a mask more often?"

Cindy should never speak about qualified immunity again. She is clearly too ill-informed to speak about it. 6/
Cindy opposes Initiative 65 and Initiative 65A because (a) law enforcement opposes it, (b) she believes the federal gov& #39;t should decide this issue for Mississippi, (c) people abuse opioids, and (d) illegal drugs come across the border.

Here is Cindy& #39;s complete interview with WJTV. Cindy& #39;s campaign has collapsed, and she knows it. 8/ https://youtu.be/43DCuGuqSTM ">https://youtu.be/43DCuGuqS...
If anyone wants to give Cindy the benefit of the doubt about whether Jefferson Davis is one of the pieces of MS& #39;s history that Cindy& #39;s "not proud of," please note that when Cindy was a state senator, she tried to name a highway in her county after Jefferson Davis. 9/
I wanted Byron to ask Cindy who she refers to as "they" in this quote. Sadly, that question didn& #39;t get in.
"They remind me that there& #39;s a lot of liberal folks...who maybe we don& #39;t want to vote. Maybe we want to make it more difficult to vote. I think that& #39;s a great idea." 10/
