Trump: Hyde-Smith an 'outstanding person'

Source: The Hill



BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/25/18 08:42 AM EST

President Trump on Sunday tweeted his support for Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) a day before he heads to the state to rally support for the embattled senator in a runoff election.

"I will be in Gulfport and Tupelo, Mississippi, on Monday night doing two Rallies for Senator Hyde-Smith, who has a very important Election on Tuesday. She is an outstanding person who is strong on the Border, Crime, Military, our great Vets, Healthcare & the 2nd A. Needed in D.C." Trump tweeted.

The president, who often offers boilerplate endorsements of candidates as being tough on crime and good for veterans, will rally for Hyde-Smith on the eve of her runoff election against Democrat Mike Espy after neither candidate secured 50 percent of the vote in the Nov. 6 election.

Hyde-Smith was appointed to the seat to replace Sen. Thad Cochran earlier this year. She has come under fresh scrutiny in recent weeks over comments that she would be "front row" at a "public hanging," and after photos surfaced of her in Confederate garb.

“Which accomplishment in her career do you think most contributed to your calling her an outstanding person?”

Bet he cannot name a single thing she has ever done.

Follow up question: without looking down at your cue cards, what is her name?

“Uhhhh Cinderella hippie smitty?”

Bet he couldn’t name her either.
