Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Republican senator from Mississippi, is facing backlash for a video of her on a campaign stop telling a crowd that it would be a “great idea” to make it more difficult for college students to vote, The Washington Post reported.

“They remind me that there’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don’t want to vote,” she said. “Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that’s a great idea.” Hyde-Smith faces Democrat Mike Espy in a runoff election Nov. 27.

She told the truth,and it's going to cost her because they CAN vote,and they also think they are the smartest and most informed people on the planet,merely because they are going to college.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
