JStormogipson Good luck w that, Google. You backed a lifelong racist in cindyhydesmith and your lifelong racist won. Maybe you'd like to explain to rest of us what your interest in backing her was.

Trumps new stripper. That’s why he wants her in Washington

My question is...why were all these big companies supporting her in the first place?

They joined the list today? Google, wassup with this madness?

It won't stop big business donating to Trump and cheating their own shareholders whilst benefiting financially themselves. Please tell me why any sane person should invest in US in run up to next election

RJTheRenegade But the question is, why would a 21st century, modern organization on the pulse of the progressive nature of the times have sent money to this ignorant racist in the first place?

We are so tired and fed up with WP and every fake news media deliberately twisting an innocent comment by Cindy Hyde-Smith and the morons that continue to believe these Socialist media sites out to destroy our Country...I heard what Cindy said and how & this post is lying on it.

Maybe you could report on some real news like our border being invaded? Projectiles being thrown by the angry mob at our border agents? How about cracking the case on the staged photos laughing journalists take to deceive the American people?

LMAO - called a “donation” once it’s done, it’s done. Seems Google is on the list of dullards who don’t know the difference between “public hanging” and lynching.....guess you can be a moron & work for Google

That doesn’t explain why these organizations initially supported her racist campaign.

The problem isn't she said something that made these corporations take their money back ... the problem is they are financially investing in this (and other elections) in the first place. One dollar one vote.

I hope that corporate donors will use this experience to start vetting the candidates they ‘support’ before they give. Asking for a refund shows a lack of scrutiny and reflects poorly on the brand on both ends of the give.

Woe is Mississippi if it elects a senatorial candidate who supports public hanging and disenfranchising voters she doesn't like.

Thank you google

Cattle rustlers also met the rope. Mostly white.

This is why companies shouldn’t be allowed to donate to politicians.

But it begs the question of why they contributed to start with. She certainly did not show any sterling qualities even before her series of deplorable 'jokes'

So Walmart, MLB Google has all asked for their donation back from Cindy Hyde-Smith... 😂🤣😂

Wouldn’t you know the President supports a segregationist in Miss after allowing tear gassing of babies-and now comes Mueller’s reindictment

My question is why the hell are all of these companies contributing to politicians in the first place?

Am I the only one who sees the irony in Google not doing a Google search on Cindy Hyde-Smith before they donated to her campaign?

A really good question for the Washington Post to answer would be - why were these companies donating to her campaign in the first place? Her racial bias and her ultra-conservatism are not really a surprise, are they?

Khashoggi

Stop hiding behind a paywall, WaPo!

Electing this woman will do more harm to Mississippi than any recession possibly could. She is toxic, lethal and an unwelcome blast from the distant past. In the words of that indomitable theologian MelaniaTrump, 'Be Best', MS. Be Best.

I hope she refuses. They should have known what they were allying themselves with and are upset because they got caught.

Why were these companies supporting her in the FIRST place?!?!!

Terribly overblown. Esty and other, mostly black, racists should be proud of their disgusting ruse. There's a big difference between a hanging and a lynching, don't you think? Criminals were once hung by government in Mississippi. That was her reference. Regardless of race.

She looks like her parents were related

Propaganda alert Washington COMPOST is just trashing Trump and ANY support of his.

Their is no room, for an outspoken racist. She will lose today , because blacks will come out to vote!

Does that ever work? Do companies actually get refund checks?

why have they waited until election days? Why did they wait so long? Too long for me. Just to give her money period. Corporate money should be taken out of campaigns.

Why was Google supporting her in the first place? (And why am I supporting Google?) Google

so the people of MS will never wonder why new businesses aren't flocking there in the future. Good for Google & all the other companies calling racism out...b/c the GOP sure won't.

No, IndianGivers! NoRefunds campaign contributions don't work like that

I can’t believe Google made political donations to her, I will not be buying or using Google products until Google finds there moral compass

Who'd have thought Republicans might be racist

Timing says everything google

Oh yes. Google. The company that will jump for China but won't help our own government. I don't really care, do you? Mississippi is a conservative state.
