Mississippi-ing The Point

 I…ummm..hmmm…

President Trump reacted Thursday to Sen.-elect Scott Colom’s (D) upset victory in the Mississippi Senate race, giving credit to the Democrat for his efforts to win over Republican voters.

“I don’t know the gentleman, but I give him credit,” Trump told sports commentator Stephen A. Smith in an interview at the White House. “I had a rally there, and we had lines that went 10 miles long, and he campaigned on that line — telling everybody in the line what a good job he did. I give him a lot of credit for that.”

Colom’s campaign released a now-viral video on social media of him at Trump’s rally in Corinth, Miss., just days ahead of Election Day, in which he approached voters waiting to get into the president’s event and asked them which issues mattered most to them.

In the clip, many supporters cited high prices as key issue impacting their choices at the polls, though some openly expressed opposition to Trump’s war in Iran and tariffs.
