Mike Honcho 3,933 Posted November 20, 2018 Walmart seeks refund from Hyde-Smith after 'public hanging' comment Walmart wants its money back from Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. The retail behemoth asked Hyde-Smith to return its campaign contribution after the Mississippi Republican praised a supporter by saying, "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row." Hyde-Smith said the statement was made in jest and denied any racial connotation. Walmart responded to a tweet from actress Debra Messing pointing out that the company had donated to Hyde-Smith.

As a result, we are withdrawing our support and requesting a refund of all campaign donations." The company gave $2,000 to the senator.

sderk 1,040 Posted November 21, 2018 I guess it's okay to pay slave wages. Don't take the job if they offer "slave wages"? Do slaves get paid? If so, what is the standard pay rate? What level of education do you need to be one? What parts of the world are employing slaves? And why would they be paying them if they have sunk to the level of slavery? This is confusing right at the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,446 Posted November 28, 2018 Hyde-Smith wins Mississippi Senate runoff JACKSON, Miss. — Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith has won Mississippi’s Senate runoff, defeating Democrat Mike Espy after drawing intense scrutiny for comments during the four-week runoff campaign. Hyde-Smith had 54 percent of the vote to Espy’s 46 percent with 95 percent of precincts reporting after the Associated Press called the race. The result means Republicans will hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate next year, and it makes Hyde-Smith the first woman elected to represent Mississippi in the Senate. She will have to run for reelection to a full term in 2020, after being appointed to fill Thad Cochran's seat earlier this year. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/27/mississippi-senate-runoff-espy-hyde-smith-1021285 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
