The Republican candidate for Senate in Mississippi, Cindy Hyde-Smith, made a joke about sitting in the front row for a public hanging and now the left-wing smear machine is going into overdrive trying to convert that into something sinister.
The first part of the lie is that Cindy talked about lynching. The quote attributed to her, without context by the way, is:
"If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row,"
Either the Popular Information staff is unaware that public hangings as the result of valid legal proceedings were part of American life for a very long time or they're deliberately lying to conflate the illegal lynching of people, often Blacks, with a fully legal application of the death penalty.
Cindy's comment was in response to the host of the event saying that he was glad she'd come to the event. The intent of her response was to say that she was such a fan of his that no matter what he invited her to, even a public hanging, she would intend. She could have equally well said that if he'd invited her to an alligator wrestling match she'd sit in the front row. There was no racial intent and Cindy wasn't talking about a lynching.
That makes perfect sense and has absolutely no racial connotations especially when we remember that she's a Republican; a member of the party that has fought Democrat racism since the election of Republican Abraham Lincoln.
The second part of the lie is the implication that it was Republicans who were going around lynching Blacks in Mississippi. If Republicans never lynched anyone why would anyone think that Cindy was really talking about a lynching not a legal public execution? While it's natural for Democrats to assume a public hanging was a lynching because it was Democrats who were doing all the lynching it's not natural for a Republican like Cindy to confuse a public hanging with a lynching for the simple reason that Republicans have no history of lynching Blacks.
Unsurprisingly the left wing rhetoric about the dark history of Mississippi fails to mention the fact that that dark history was entirely the result of Democrats.
The third part of the lie is to assume that Cindy is lying when she says it was a joke and that there was no racial intent. When Democrats say outrageous things the media always accepts their correction and apology. For example, just recently Democrat Eric Swalwell from California stated that if the American people would revolt against their government they'd lose because the government would use nuclear weapons on them. When he said he was just joking all criticism of him by the media stopped. But in this case even though Cindy has clearly stated that she wasn't talking about lynchings and that she wasn't being serious the media attack continues.
What's interesting is that the same Democrats who are attacking Cindy over this are silent about the real racist policies of the Democrat party that are hurting and killing Blacks today.
For example for years thousands of Blacks have been shot in Chicago each year but the Democrats who run "Chiraq" have done nothing to end the slaughter. Does anyone seriously think that if 4000 whites were being shot each year in Chicago the same would be true?
Debra Messing is one of the Hollywood elites who have attackedCindy on this issue. What's interesting is that she supports abortion and has said nothing to indicate that she's concerned about the fact that the leading causeof death for Black Americans is abortion or that Black women are 3 times as likelyto abort their child than are white women.
It's possible to imagine a non-racist saying that abortion is great but that we need to do something about its disparate impact on Blacks but it's harder to envision someone who isn't racist being silent about what Jesse Jackson called genocideagainst Blacks.
Finally recently elected Democrats have said directly racist things and the media has been silent. Ilhan Omar has made viciously racist comments about Jews and Keith Ellison was a member of the Nation of Islam a group identified by the SPLC as aracistorganization yet their public racism doesn't appear to bother the same Democrats who are going ballistic about Cindy's joke.
This is just another case of the #FakeNews media making up a lie and repeating it incessantly in order to discredit a Republican.
Every time the playbook is the same; find an innocuous statement by a Republican, ignore context and the simple meaning of words to declare some horrendous meaning, ignore all clarifications by the victim, and repeat until people believe the lie.
Democracy won't last long in America if Democrats like Keith Ellison can beat up women and belong to racist organizations but have their offenses covered up by the media while Republicans like Cindy can't make a joke without being lied about by the #FakeNews media.
