Did anyone think otherwise? Seriously…
Anyone smelling a potential Immaculate Election a la Doug Jones…
PS Trump should consider MAGA hats in Confederate Gray with the Stars and Bars on the side…
Yes, Toadglans. Jokes about lynchings are always a laugh riot. But she would be a lot funnier if she would spontaneously combust. Come to think of it, you would be too.
A joke defending a joke.
Funny…
Mississippi is the West Virginia of Alabamas.
Well of course he is going to defend his fellow racist and white nationalist. Did you think Don the Con would do otherwise?
Donald Trump: Defending the Indefensible for a Lifetime!
The only thing he is unhappy about is that she said she was joking.
I’m thinking that this whole episode is tremendously insulting to Mississippians.
In effect she’s saying “I’ve got nothing to offer, but at least I’m as racist as you want me to be.”
Come to think of it, she doesn’t even show any self-respect.
On Tuesday, Politico surfaced a photo taken in 2014 of Hyde-Smith in a Confederate soldier’s hat, holding a rifle.
Well, she certainly couldn’t have posed as a beautiful Southern Belle in a bustle and parasol.
But Hyde-Smith never said she felt “very badly” about the remark, as Trump claimed. Instead, she said criticisms of the remark were “ridiculous.”
If she had said she felt badly, she would need to see a neurologist.
For Trump, it’s all strictly tribal loyalties.
“She made a statement which — I know that she feels very badly about it, and it was just sort of said in jest, as she said, and she’s a tremendous woman,” Trump told reporters near Marine One.
Trump could also have been referring to Hyde-Smith joking about making it “just a little more difficult” for certain “liberal folks” to vote.
She didn’t express regret about that comment either. “Obviously Sen. Hyde-Smith was making a joke,” a spokesperson for her campaign said.
Chiselin’ Trump, after being told that Hyde-Smith never expressed any regret for he comments: “I was just making a joke!”
and she’s a tremendous woman,” Trump told reporters near Marine One.
Come on Daddy , she*s too old for you .
There is no defense bigot Trump. Hopefully this election Mississippi will finally move from the racist
19th century into the tolerant 21st. Hyde-Smith is just another of the
regular and never ending stream of Republican officials having to resign
or apologize for racial, or mind numbing stupid intolerant remarks. One
has to remember after their mid '60’s cynical but successful “Southern
Strategy” the Republican Party became the nation’s political refuge for
the nation’s intolerant which became its majority to this day. As we
have seen going forward from his campaign, intolerant Trump however has
turned the former Republican quiet intolerance dog whistle into a
blaring bugle, which including his incompetence, ignorance and lack of
moral, ethical, and American values, confirmed by this election has
begun accelerating his and the Party’s decline.
Wait, the time will come when Trump attempts to defend Adolf Hitler.
You mean West Methsylvania?
Fun Fact! OxyContin is the state bird!
