Cindy Hyde-Smith just bailed. Without a second or a wave goodbye to the folk here in Columbus who attended the event. Backdoor. Two days out. For a U.S. Senate seat.
Bus problems for Cindy Hyde-Smith between her two campaign stops this afternoon after slipping out the back door of her first event & avoiding press questions.
Update from Hyde-Smith’s second event of the day in Meridian: “Will you take some questions from the press after?”
This is the video from last night of Hyde-Smith declining to answer Qs about race & her past. To be clear, the best route is to engage in a conversation, especially about an issue like this, instead of en route to a vehicle. But Hyde-Smith has declined to do so--with anybody.
