Cindy Hyde-Smith Says She Never Lost Faith in Mississippi’s Racists

“For weeks, we’ve been hearing national pundits say that Mississippi was ready to enter the twenty-first century,” Hyde-Smith told a crowd of supporters at her victory rally. “Tonight, with your help, we proved them wrong.”
Hyde-Smith said that, despite the media’s unearthing of a cavalcade of embarrassing comments and actions from her past, “I never doubted that, at the end of the day, the people of Mississippi would listen to the racist voices in their heads.”

Disclaimer....I know a few people from Mississippi that do not fit this description, but I also know some that surely do.
The headline and the words attributed to her are all flat out lies in “quote marks”. She never said what was attributed to her. Lying about what people said and putting other words in their mouths than what they actually said is not satire.
