Major League Baseball Asks for Its $5000 Campaign Donation Back From Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith
Nov 26, 2018, 11:42 AM
When lobbyists for Major League Baseball made a donation in connection with a political event on Friday, they probably didn't expect to ask for it back two days later.
Amid outcry over racially insensitive remarks made by Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith earlier this month, the MLB has asked her campaign to return its $5,000 donation.
On a Nov. 2 campaign stop, Sen. Hyde-Smith was captured in a viral video making remarks about attending a "public hanging."
