The rare sight in Congress: A Republican woman

Saying the quiet part out loud, as you do if you're a Republican in the age of Trump.
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) appeared to endorse voter suppression during a campaign stop this month.

[...]

Hyde-Smith, who was appointed to the Senate in April following the retirement of Thad Cochran, faces Democrat Mike Espy in a Nov. 27 runoff election.

[...]

“And then they remind me that there’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don’t want to vote,” Hyde-Smith can be heard telling a small crowd of young people outside her campaign bus in a video taken Nov. 3 and posted on online Thursday. “Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that’s a great idea.”

What's wrong with that?

Yes, this is the same woman, whose opponent is a black man, said last weekend that if her supporter, cattle rancher Colin Hutchinson, "invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row." Say that aloud to yourself in a Southern belle society voice for true effect.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
