A 2014 photo of Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) wearing a Confederate soldier's hat resurfaced this week at a time when the senator is facing public blowback over comments she made about willing to be "on the front row" for a "public hanging."

Hyde-Smith had posted a photo of herself on Facebook in 2014 wearing a Confederate soldier's hat, which features the Confederate star. She took the photo while visiting former Confederate President Jefferson Davis's home, according to her caption.

Other photos in the album show her holding Confederate-era guns and looking through a historic book.

The Facebook post was spotlighted in a story on Politico on Tuesday.

1. Deliberate? To bring out the Wingers who voted for the guy now off the ballot?

Heard this idea on satellite radio MSNBC today - can't remember who said it, maybe Tur reporting on n idea floating around.

Makes sense. If the racist crazies turn out en masse, and the AAs and the sane people aren't quite enough, she wins. After all, it IS Mississippi.

2. She's a complete racist piece of shit.

God, she makes me sick.
