Cindy Hyde-Smith's campaign: Report about segregated schooling 'a new low' for 'gotcha liberal media'

The campaign for Mississippi Republican Senate candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith on Saturday condemned “the gotcha liberal media” after a local newspaper published a report on how she attended a so-called “segregated” private academy as a teenager.

“In their latest attempt to help Mike Espy, the gotcha liberal media has taken leave of their senses,” Hyde-Smith’s spokeswoman, Melissa Scallan, told multiple outlets. “They have stooped to a new low, attacking her entire family and trying to destroy her personally instead of focusing on the clear differences on the issues between Cindy Hyde-Smith and her far-left opponent.”
