Trump daughter-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump’s 2020 campaign Lara Trump on Monday defended Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, the Republican incumbent in the Mississippi Senate race, whose recent comments about “public hanging” have caused her to lose donors and prompted outcry heading into the runoff election on Tuesday.


“This is nothing new,” Lara Trump told Fox Business on Monday. “The Democrats always scream racism at a Republican contender in any field across the country. … Listen, Cindy Hyde-Smith apologized for these remarks and I think if you actually watch the way it happened I think a lot was taken out of context and really blown up out of proportion.”

Trump’s defense of Hyde-Smith comes just as her father-in-law prepares to travel to Mississippi and headline two separate rallies for the embattled Republican incumbent, who has lost funding and faced criticism for “public hanging” that’s been widely considered racist.

While lavishing praise on one of her supporters, Hyde Smith told a crowd gathered that she liked this particular supporter so much that “if he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.” The comment was met with swift backlash — especially given Mississippi’s history of violent public hangings of black people — and Hyde-Smith has since apologized.

3. Yeah, it's not like she was talking about attending public hangings or anything . . .

Oh, wait.

4. Maybe it's because the GOP is so rascist?

Nah, that’s too simple an explanation.

Let’s cook up a conspiracy theory!😏

8. She did not apologize for it

She said she was sorry if anyone was offended.

That is not the same thing as being sorry to have said it in the first place.

10. Well, Lara Fits Right In

Another dimwit lacking scruples.
