Gov. Bryant gave credit for the Medgar Evers bill that black Mississippi Congressman @BennieGThompson had worked on for over a decade to Donald Trump & white GOP senators Cindy Hyde-Smith & Roger Wicker. Now he complains Jim Hood isn't giving him proper credit for BP settlement.
This is what Bryant said when Bennie Thompson asked for proper credit:

"It's sad that Congressman Thompson so desires personal acclaim that he shatters what should be a time of celebration for all Mississippians with this designation. ..."

"His anger and hatred are the very characteristics that separated our people in the civil-rights era," Bryant said. jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/mar/…

Mississippi will have an election under a Jim Crow-era electoral college-style law requiring the victor to not only win the popular vote, but a majority of House districts.

Some say Democrats will now need to win 55% of the vote to win the Nov. 5 election. #MSelex 1/
"The process was written when white politicians across the South were enacting Jim Crow laws to erase black political power...and the separate House vote was promoted as a way for the white ruling class have the final say in who holds office." 2/ #MSelex

"Mississippi’s constitutional convention was held for no other purpose than to eliminate the n**** from politics; not the ignorant—but the n***,” James K. Vardaman, one of the 1890 constitution's framers, said at the time, @wspittman writes. 3/ #MSelex

Here comes the part where Tate Reeves invokes transgender *children* to attack Dem opponent Jim Hood, accusing him of supporting him. For the record, I reported on Hood's response when he was asked about transgender children earlier this year... ⅟ #MSelex #MSGov
Reeves' claim that Hood has been at the forefront of trans rights is silly. Hood, asked if he supports trans kids going to bathrooms that correspond w their identity:

"I think it's up to school boards and universities as to who goes where." 2/ #MSelex

jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/apr/…
Tate Reeves' campaign, though, seems on the verge of telling Mississippians that Hood is just a few steps away from turning your kids transgender and making them worship AOC and Nancy Pelosi.

Can we stop using transgender children for cheap political points? Please? 3/x

Remember when folks took @HillaryClinton's "deplorables" comment out of context, insisted on pretending like it referred to the majority of Trump voters, & acted like it was the worst thing ever said?

Here's the WH press secretary calling a huge chunk of Americans "human scum."
Americans who, by the way, pay her salary.
"Basket of deplorables" in context, btw:

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

💥Control of the U.S. Senate May Hinge on Possible Mississippi Runoff:
“Mississippi could be the deciding factor in who controls the Senate,” Melissa Scallan, a spokeswoman for Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a temporary replacement for Cochran after he retired on April 1.
🌊🗳️Mississippi has not sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1982.

#THREAD: We’ve said this before but for the life of us we can’t figure out why #Trump won’t give up this #TradeWar. The May jobs report was incredible and the #economy is booming. Now he’s threatening to torpedo all this work to get the economy humming because he’s pissed off
The smart political thing for #Trump and his #GOP allies facing re-election to do would be to run out the clock on this booming #economy all throughout the #Midterms2018 season and campaign hard on his anti-regulation, tax cutting economic policy and spike the football
In a survey conducted last fall, the Chicago Council on Public Affairs found that 72% of Americans thought trade is good for the U.S. economy, 78% thought it benefits consumers like themselves, and 57% thought it helps create jobs in the United States
