“Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith once promoted a measure that praised a Confederate soldier’s effort to “defend his homeland”...”
It was his homeland, dipshi’tes. That’s the way sovereign states were perceived back then, north and south.
“...and pushed a revisionist view of the Civil War.”
What, like the war was fought for the express purpose of freeing slaves? Brainwashed @ssclown!
I doubt this will hurt her with the base in Ms; most of whom had ancestors in the Confederate Army and who aren’t at all ashamed of it. The important thing is whether the base turns out- Espy is guaranteed about 40 percent of the vote, if his base turns out en masse and hers does not, he could win.
It is not a perception, I see it as a reality that has been suppressed.
