Cindy Hyde Smith Ran With The Crackers!

Cindy Hyde-Smith could be defeated.

The embattled Republican U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde Smith is likely to win the runoff election in Mississippi.

The Republican facing a backlash from many in the country. Is the senator a raging racist?

Hyde-Smith praised the losing side of the U.S. Civil War. It was revealed that the senator pushed a resolution to support Confederate solider Thomas Jefferson Nicholson. She said that he fought for his homeland.

She also attended Lawrence County Academy, a high school that was mostly segregated. Lawrence County Academy opened in the small town of Monticello, about 60 miles south of Jackson, in 1970. That same year, another segregation school, Brookhaven Academy, opened in nearby Lincoln County. Years later, Hyde-Smith would send her daughter, Anna-Michael, to that academy.

Although the U.S. Supreme Court ordered public schools to desegregate in 1954 and again in 1955 to do so with "all deliberate speed," Mississippi slow-walked the integration of its schools as long as possible, trying a variety of "school choice" schemes, state legislation and court cases to stop full integration, including arguing that white kids should not go to school with so-called "genetically inferior" black students.

Hyde-Smith graduated from Lawrence County Academy in 1977, meaning she would have already been in school elsewhere at the time the academy opened.

Many campaign contributions from corporations asked for the money back.

Also Major League Baseball has donated $5,000 to her campaign. It caused a major backlash.

Donald J. Trump will be making two campaign stops in Mississippi to rally the vote. This is highly unusual for a state that heavily went to Trump in 2016.

This race became an issue when Hyde-Smith was caught on camera saying that she wouldn't mind seeing a "public hanging."

Mike Espy, has found an opening. Both sides are energized.

The Republicans are scrambling to save a seat that should have been considered an easy pick up.

Now the usual tactics is scare monger the notion of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, or Espy is a flaming liberal who wants to disrupt Mississippi's rich heritage.

The Democrats are hoping to at least mount a campaign to energize Black women. They were key to helping Doug Jones become the U.S. Senator in Alabama.

Espy knows he has a "long shot" to win this. But we'll find out Tuesday if the efforts paid off.

If Espy does win the election, he will become the first African American since the Reconstruction to be a U.S. Senator in the Deep South.
