So Toddy should tell us all again about how POTUS sunk the GOP. Oh I forgot we is deranged citizens. Sorry.

You mean racist reality?

Reopened? Perhaps it never closed for the 37% of people in MS that are African-American. This election shows the white majority really doesn’t care how their fellow Mississippians feel.

Past? Do tell. It is not past.

Her comment can only be construed as “racist” by people who WANT to construe it that way.... goes to show how low and nasty the media will go..

Personally I dont think that this shows rampant racism as many liberals are crowing about but are just people who want taxes lowered and our borders secured.

She looks like Kitty Farmer from Donnie Darko

Too bad the race card didn't work.

Reopened? Didn’t know they had healed...it’s obvious that the South is still full of racists.

Old wounds? no, just a reminder that this country is as racist today as it was 50 yrs ago. Those low life’s were just waiting for their time to jump back and strike. And realDonaldTrump showed up. If you think US is not racist, you’re fooling yourself. Nothing changed.

Old?

And the winner ...by HANGING to a rope margin lead votes and to represent Missingssippi to Sinate. 💨😎✌️

Mississippi has elected Republicans for over thirty years. They rank last or near last in every category except poverty. They rank at the top in poverty. I'm not sure how electing yet another Republican will change this. In two years when she is up for reelection. We can revisit.

More hate from Trumps MOB

yay!!!

Proving once again racism in the Deep South still exists.

Mrs. Hyde-Smith’s victory gives the GOP a critical 53-47 Senate advantage should Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg decides to retire within the next two years. Trump could leave a conservative stamp on the Court for the next 20 years regardless what happens in 2020.

Cindy Hyde-Smith won because she is a Racist.

that a woman was elected for the first time in the state doesn't count if she's Republican, then...

She looks like a witch of Halloween...

This is only possible when your POTUS backs these types of candidates. realDonaldTrump is the compass for our country and the direction he has taken us so far is a clear indication of the horrendous future we're in store. TeamTrump GOP SenateGOP HouseGOP yrnf foxnewsalert

Fake media did. Can anyone tell me if more white people or blacks have been hung with any accuracy? Exactly dnc was the one hanging blacks. Did fake media forget

What Mississippi lacks in education they make up for with racism? I’m sorry good people. You deserve better than she. Cindy is a God-awful person.

We should get a list of words and phrases that are no longer acceptable so that the dumb people don’t get offended.

Apparently the past is the present

But the difference is this time the Democrat was the one who was beaten and not the one doing the beatings. Things are getting better in Mississippi.

Every time I see her, I think of a “before” picture on a Botox commercial.

Jeff Flake & Schumer are crying in the martinis.

WAS IT AN HONEST ELECTION. MISSISSIPPI?

WAPO: A Racist, Fake News, Newspaper, Pointing Their Old Crooked Fingers At Someone They Know Very Little About...

'Unreconstructed Bigot wins MS election, reopening wounds from the state's racist present.' FTFY

Racist past? It's racist past, present and future.

The newly elected senator stated she wants to attend a lynching, and racism is in the past? And y’all wonder why print news is dying.

Is this what the GOP stands for?

“If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound' – Malcolm X ✊🏾

Lol they vote for nazi eva. Well done mississippi rednecks.

Sad. An incompetent disgraceful individual was elected with the help/support of an incompetent disgraceful president. Mississippi, you are better than this

What do you mean past? Looks like not much has changed in this southern hell-hole. Avoid this state at all costs.

You can count on Mississippi to do what they've been doing. Stay racist.

Shameful

Sad day for America...the South and especially Mississippi!!

No mention of the democrats hanging nooses and signs to try and scare the population. What a surprise.

Hatred prevails in the Confederate South

Past? 🙄

cattlerustler hanging Does MS hang cattle rustlers? Utah has it as a criminal offense. Shoot mountain lions as can’t be hung.

2018 is the present. Nooses found at Mississippi state Capitol one day before the special election

LOLOLOLOLOL “PAST.” WSJ is so precious.

I am so sorry she won. BUT I am so relieved that NO WHITE PERSON can EVER pretend that racism is a thing of the 'PAST' and tell me that I just need to change my perspective. Thank you cindyhydesmith for diagnosing America's disease. People like you are a malignant cancer.

If it’s so bad why don’t people move out. Same for California when I hear all the negative BS.

Once again good wins over dirty politics!

When, exactly, did Mississippi stop being extremely racist, segregated, and unsafe for people of color? I'm asking for a year.

Clearly the racism isn't just in the past

Hello racist present.

Can we stop with the racist references please?

Racist Present!

Congrats...Mississippi...ya’ll r now time travelers

WY to go Mississippi. Keeping it like 1863!

Perhaps the liberal language police could annually put out a list of 'racially insensitive' words and phrases so the unwashed masses would have way to keep from offending any minority.

Facts should be checked please

The Confederacy lives on

🖕🏻

Wrong. It's not the election, it's the lame stream (Trump hating) media that's rabble rousing,

You mean the ones re-opened by Democrats?

Democrats were the ones that threw the race card. She absolutely did nothing racist!

Congratulations Mississippi, in maintaining your long tradition of not upholding civil rights and voting these segregationists time and time again.

As I read about the history of Germany in 1920s and 1930s, I am amazed at the striking similarities between Hitler and his supporters and trump and his supporters

Thanks Democrats.

53 to 47!!!

It is not the past - Mississippi is a racist state. In addition to being a drag on society that the rest of the country has to support.

Past

Good deal. Another lefty bit the dust.

They aren’t ‘old’, nor were they ‘re-opened’. ‘Dems (no pun intended) a bunch o straight-up racist idiots down that way.

Fixed it for you

And additional she’s just a damn fool

Okay so Mississippi is the dumbest state in the country

Wrong headline. Not “state’s racist past.” More like “from the racist state.” wsj, fix your headline!

Dems opened old wounds...Mississippi is sending first state`s elected woman to senate.

She reminds me of Eugene Terreblanche...all white, all indoctrinated, completely; foolishly racist. Intelligence made useless. Sad

Ugh, you sound just like CNN. You're supposed to be better than this trashy 'reporting.'

The only one who “opened wounds” was the media, and the mindless masses who look to news media for thoughts and opinions. This was another win for the American people of all races who think. 😊

The South shall rise again confederacy is live and well in the Senate

Mississippi is suffering from a racist present, not a ghost of racism past. We all are here in Amerikkka.

Lot of hype.

Horrible state. Just like Kentucky with McConnell.

Guess I should change this to burned to the ground.

campaign promises! every one gets a new rag and stick we are going to clean this state up ! hick

Faulkner? Anyone? Faulkner?

Welcome To The Team CindyHydeSmith. I Look Forward To Playing Snooker With You.

'Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of.' - Phil Ochs

You guys are so full of sht.... Every single media outlet reported the same thing, racists past, racist wounds, etc...verbatim. Like we aren't paying EXTRA attention to your propaganda....? FakeNews

Congratulations to you and your racist everywhere.

This election would appear to show that the wounds aren’t old and racism isn’t in its past.

The bigger story is the press that wants to keep races pitted against one another

How about deepened wounds from the state's ongoing racism.

Eventually we're going to hang her. Just like she likes it.

still racist

Remember it was the republicans that freed the slaves.

Mississippi , not your finest hour.

Lol...the maneuvering to not say she is racist is amazing.

It is Mississippi stupid! Can someone just ask Cindy Hyde-Smith when the public hanging will take place! GOP republicans are eager to attend!

Yeah, Democrats did the reopening.

'old wounds' 😂

Past?

congratulations Cindy

Such a racist state!

Trump in Mississippi to boost embattled senator in midterm finalePresident Donald Trump rallied in Mississippi to buoy Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith's uncertain lead on the eve of a surprisingly tight special election. It's sad they do this to feed his ego, wonder what they were paying. He wants to shoot people on 5th avenue, she wants to go to a public hanging. Match made in hell. When are y’all going to ask him what he thinks about the botched Manafort plea deal and is he worried?

The Latest: GOP US Sen. Hyde-Smith wins divisive runoffJACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Latest on a U.S. Senate runoff election in Mississippi (all times local): 9:20 p.m. Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith has won a divisive Mississippi runoff to remain in office. In Tuesday's race, 59-year-old Hyde-Smith defeated Democrat Mike Espy, a former U.S. agriculture secretary who hoped to become Mississippi's first African-American senator since Reconstruction. The win allows Hyde-Smith to complete the final two years of Sen. Thad Cochran's six-year term. Cochran retired in April. Hyde-Smith was appointed to temporarily succeed him. The win makes her the first woman elected to Congress from Mississippi. The runoff was rocked by a video showing her praise a supporter by saying she'd attend a 'public hanging' if he invited her. She called it an 'exaggerated expression of regard.' The comment made Mississippi's history of racist lynchings a runoff theme. President Donald Trump endorsed Hyde-Smith and rallied for her after the comments became public. Republicans will now hold 53 of 100 Senate seats. Not surprising. It takes the country about sixty years each century to drag Mississippi kicking and screaming into the current century with the rest of us. wasn't very divisive. Gop won by at least ten points There was no real evidence that this would be a close race leading up to the day of the runoff. There was much pushing down on the scales of objective reporting from the MSM, though. Leftist media loves to cook up stories whenever they think it could do damage to conservatives.
