JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) - A new video surfaced suggesting Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith calling for stricter voting laws.

The video, which was taken at a campaign stop in Starkville on November 3rd, starts with Sen. Hyde-Smith being asked about voting.

Sen. Hyde-Smith says: "And then they remind me, that there's a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who that maybe we don't want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that's a great idea."

Sen. Hyde-Smith was already facing controversy after comments she made during a Tupelo campaign stop on November 2nd where she said: "If I was invited to a public hanging, I would be on the front row."

When the hole gets deep, the crazy dig deeper.

1. no surprise, she continuously quotes the republican party line nt

[rogue emissary]

2. What's next a picture of her kicking her dog?

[NurseJackie]

4. Her defenders will argue that the dog deserved it.

5. Damn

she's considered the more moderate of the two R's that ran for Thad Cochran's open seat....

She may just manage to pull a Judge Roy Moore and get Espy elected.

On top of that, Tupelo and Starkville aren't exactly the most racist parts of the state.

[Marthe48]

6. You don't get to say who votes you snotty bag

And if you think you do, you don't belong in government.

She isn't in disguise, is she? Moore in a wig?

[Hulk]

7. She looks bat shit crazy....

...and when I heard her speak with her “we stand by my comments...” Bull shit about 10 times with her silly little grin on her ignorant puss, I’m convinced she’s as shallow and dumb ass as they come.

[mobeau69]

15. I saw that and I had to laugh.

Seriously, is this the best the people of MS can do?

[mastermind]

8. Didn't a repug PA governor brag about voter suppression in the past

like its the duty of every fascist to suppress the vote

[beachbum bob]

9. Those inside words get out and RECORDED....poor thing...targeted voter

suppression.

[slumcamper]

10. O M F G.

That is the crystallization of the GOP agenda on the issue of voting.

The DNC should consider ad-packaging statements like these (and there are plenty) including a brief, polite reminder that goes to principle. Then buy online, radio, and broadcast media space in key swing media markets, and put this shit out there for broader public consumption and consideration.

Let the GOP die by its words.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. Goobers gotta be goobers.

[Progressive Jones]

12. Rub her face in her own shit 24/7. Destroy her political career.

The gloves have to come off with the radical right.
They don't/can't understand anything else.

[Dustlawyer]

13. It is un-American. That should be our response to all of their voter suppression!

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. Typical repug bullshit. Her constituents love it.

Real Americans should hate it.

[YOHABLO]

16. How blatantly ignorant. How can this woman be a U.S. Senator?

She's like the 'Louie Gohmert' of Mississippi.

[oasis]

17. Judge Ray Moore, move over.

[iluvtennis]

18. I donated to Mike Espy the other day. If a Dem can be elected in Alabama, why not Mississippi.

[Racerdog1]

19. It is Mississippi

Now you know why Mississippi is last in most everything. They are still fighting the civil war. Wake up folks, you can change the way things are.
