This is a very weird race because what happened in the Alabama senate race last year is why I am holding out a little hope

Major League Baseball donates $5000 to Cindy Hyde-Smith

Over the past week, seven major corporations have asked for Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) to refund their contributions. Earlier this month, Hyde-Smith told a crowd at a campaign event that she would be willing to attend a "public hanging."

But one prominent American institution is going the other direction: Major League Baseball. According to an FEC report filed on November 24, the Office of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball PAC donated $5000, the legal maximum, to Hyde-Smith's campaign. The contribution is dated November 23.

The Office of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball PAC was established in 2002. It was formed "as the sport endured a number of potentially crippling controversies, including the threat of a player's strike and fan anger over the possible contraction of two teams." The commissioner of Major League Baseball is Rob Manfred.

Charles B. Johnson, the co-owner of the San Fransisco Giants, recently donated $2700, the legal maximum to Hyde-Smith. Johnson's wife, Ann, also contributed the max. The donation spurred outrage from baseball fans online.

Saturday's filing by Hyde-Smith also included a $5000 donation from Ernst & Young, an accounting firm that publicly touts its commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Hyde-Smith was asked about her "public hanging" comments on Saturday and said she was sorry if she "hurt anybody’s feelings." Asked to clarify "what it was that offended people," Hyde-Smith would not answer.

MLB Cooks Up Extremely Credible And Not At All Insulting Explanation For $5,000 Contribution To Racist Shitbag's Senate Campaign

Here is Major League Baseball’s totally credible explanation for how it wound up donating $5,000 to the runoff campaign of unhinged Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, of Mississippi, whose supporter base seems increasingly to be made up of racist maniacs:

This explanation will ring true to anyone who has sent Major League Baseball an invitation to their birthday party and been rewarded with a check for several thousand dollars. Hey, we were invited! What were we supposed to do, not send a few thousand bucks? Also worth noting: MLB’s donation was reportedly made on November 23, whole weeks after Hyde-Smith joked about attending a public hanging and suppressing liberal votes, and three days after her campaign reached a level of toxicity that was even too much for Walmart. While we’re here, super-racist Giants owner Charles B. Johnson also donated $5,400 to Hyde-Smith’s runoff campaign last week, to absolutely no one’s surprise.
