Mississippi GOP Senate candidate called Confederate museum "Mississippi history at its best"

“I enjoyed my tour of Beauvoir. The Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library located in Biloxi,” Hyde-Smith wrote in a caption. Davis was the Confederate president during the Civil War. His former estate now serves as a museum and library in his honor.
“This is a must see,” Hyde-Smith wrote. “Currently on display are artifacts connected to the daily life of the Confederate Soldier including weapons. Mississippi history at its best!”

Jackson Free Press -   Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) “demanded there be no audience or outside press allowed at tonight’s U.S. Senate debate and requested other restrictions.... When she faces off against Democratic challenger Mike Espy at 7 p.m., only the debate moderator, panelists and the production team will be allowed in the auditorium—a requirement the Hyde-Smith campaign pushed for and the Espy team argued against.

Oh God forbid someone say something positive about a historical museum!

Let's just drop history down the memory hole, shall we? How could you possibly have a history museum in the South with the Confederacy on display?

You know very well the racist history of the Democratic Party.

They are still racist. And they abuse their constituents while doing nothing for them.

But don't let that get in the way of your character assassinations.
