The Mississippi Republican Senate Candidate Who Became America's Marie Antoinette
During the Mississippi election, incumbent Republican Senator Heidi Smith responded to a media question regarding the rising cost of living and meat prices by stating that there are various proteins available to choose from.
The Democratic candidate seized upon this blunder to create an advertisement.
Ultimately, this has led to a situation where the Democrats are poised to retake a Senate seat in Mississippi for the first time in nearly 40 years.
(In reality, the last Democratic Senator from the state was a former Democrat/Dixiecrat racist before the party transformed into a human rights party.)
As a side note, Heidi Smith was also originally a Democrat. However, the current Democratic opponent is a judge whom Biden nominated for a federal judgeship, but who was blocked from appointment by the authority of the state's senators. That judge has now become the opposing candidate and is set to take the Senate seat.
(While Mississippi is experiencing delays due to oath-taking procedures, a Democratic victory is considered certain.)
