The supporters of Congressman Bennie Thompson were not too happy when the State Auditor appeared at the final redistricting hearing and said the Republicans should redistrict the Congressman out of his seat.
Tonight liberal activists filled a critical committee hearing on redistricting. No Republicans thinking of running for governor showed up except me, and I thought it was important for the committee to know that room of activists did not speak for all the people of this state. We want Bennie Thompson gone. They hurled insults and maybe a couple of four-letter words, but I’m not backing down from standing up for Mississippi, even when it’s a fight.

That was a wise and strategic move
The truth hurts! Get rid of sandbag Bennie!
A good reason to vote for Shad. People who will stand up in unfreindly confines and speak their minds are rare.
Can anyone tell me BT's accomplishments for Mississippi?
RMQ
Kick the commie pinko Marxist progressive racist (did I miss anything?) cop-hater Bennie under the bus.
@207pm Well He lined his pockets with lots of money... Oh sorry - you said what has he done for MS? - Nothing - My bad - sorry.
Dayum, Low-hangin' fruit ambushed em' good. That deployment must have got his juices flowing. He had better keep it going with that kinda gutsy move, or he will soon be irrelevant as Fitch is going to be.
We willl know he is serious when he locks up the whistleblower!
Need to get rid of Bennie but don’t say that’s why the redistricting is happening. I thought Shad was supposed to go smart.
That took guts. He's going to make an awesome Lt. Guv.
Shad White is shamelessly invoking Thompson’s work on the “J6 Committee” (four years ago), and is clearly pandering to Trump for an endorsement.
He was Phil Bryant’s protege, and was state auditor when it happened, so let’s talk about the $100 million raiding of TANF.
People want to talk about Minnesota, but the TANF fraud was right here in our own home.
Dilbert is too afraid to remotely say anything about Benny .... even if Dilbert was running for sump'in.
If Benny was doing his job for all the voters he would have no problems getting re-elected instead of riding the coattails of race and his pretend accomplishments. He has done nothing for the Mississippi delta. All those years he was re-elected by his blindly following sheep, they could not show one thing he has improved.
Bennie is “our” congressman, not yours.
And what has Tate Reeves done for the Delta? Phil Bryant? Haley Barbour? Roger Wicker?
Makes me pro-Shad for sure. Bennie has done nothing to help the people he represents. Time for a change - I'm all for anyone who will actually make things better for the people in their district. So far, only Bennie seems to have profited from his position.
Bennie the GRIFTER
Bullseye.
Maybe Shad should offer $5K to the district 2 residents if they bote Bennie out? That would be true conservative leadership.
District 2 was created to give that demographic a bone. They settled for one out of 5. The big farmers have been running Thompson all this time. Do you remember that Thompson and the former mayor Lumumba were members of a group that wanted to build the New Africa. He did it, just look at the MS. delta.
Pandering Shad. Some things never change. Trying to be a little squirrelly version of Donal J.
Bennie is just another Democrat lapdog.
The one Mississippian with balls. The rest of the republicans are trying to seat their handpicked guy. My best guess is Gunn but with their track record, it could be Fitch. Does anyone else see how crazy stupid this is? Now is the time to right the wrong and get Bennie out. We have so many gifts we can use that are at our fingertips but the white man wants what he wants. So you get what they want you to get. And you take it every time!
The J6 committee schredded the evidence. You don't have to be MAGA to view that as a cover up of corruptness.
Why on earth would you even think Fitch has a chance?
The script of shad posting on jj then cheerleading in the comments is getting old.
Why is this gutsy? The Dems are a non-factor in Mississippi. This is red meat fodder for the generally somewhat educated Mississippi conservative voter who Shad wants to keep convinced he’s a tough guy.
Ever wonder why Biden pardoned Bennie?
