Mississippi Governor Says There Will Be '1000 Years Of Darkness' If State Elects First Black Senator

The governor of Mississippi doesn’t want to see what would be the state’s first Black senator elected since reconstruction.

“I intend to work for @cindyhydesmith as if the fate of America depended on her single election,” Gov. Phil Bryant tweeted. “If Mike Espy and the liberal Democrats gain the Senate we will take that first step into a thousand years of darkness.”

Espy lost to Hyde-Smith in Mississippi’s special U.S. Senate runoff election in 2018.

When announcing he’d be running again in 2020, Espy told the Associated Press that this time around he believes he can win by building a diverse coalition of voters.

I don’t have a lot of hope that Tate Reeves will be much better, but he shouldn’t be any worse. Bryant has been a real shit stain these past eight years and a lot of us are glad to see him go. Hope he has a coronary while Espy’s getting sworn in next year.

Hyde-Smith, who was locked in a contentious battle to hold onto her Senate seat against Democrat Mike Espy, faced fierce blowback over a racially tinged joke about "public hangings" that became public after a video taken by a political tracker following her campaign was posted on Twitter.

"If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row," Hyde-Smith said in the video, referring to a rancher who supported her campaign.

A host of companies, including several of the country’s most high profile, denounced Hyde-Smith’s comments and publicly demanded refunds. Among them were Aetna, Amgen, AT&T, Boston Scientific, Facebook, Google, Leidos, Major League Baseball, Pfizer, Union Pacific and Walmart.

Hyde-Smith apologized publicly at the only debate between the two candidates. She ended up defeating Espy in the runoff on Nov. 28 by about 60,000 votes.

Two racist peas in a pod. After she showed her despicable true self, Mississippi republican party showed its despicable true self and elected her.

Sure, there are racist fucksticks in every state, but these fucking states continuously put these fucksticks in control.

I'll believe there are good people in these states when they stop electing pieces of amphibian shit like Hyde-Smith, Bryant, Perdue and Lindsey fucking Graham.

Want to proove you're not a shithole state? Stop putting shitholes in charge.

Some of us live in in these states because we don't have a choice. I'm hoping more Californians will move here to swing the vote blue.
