Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mademoiselle) jokingly repeated the sexist jokes as a keynote speaker at a Mississippi Farm Bureau convention in 2011, as the audience snickered in a recently unveiled video.
This is the latest controversy about the candidate on the eve of a special election, as President Donald Trump had mistreated Monday night in Mississippi.
"If your wife strikes at the front and the dog barks at the back door, which one do you first enter?" Asked Ms. Hyde-Smith in her convention speech, quoting men as saying that she called them "crispy gentlemen". ? "The dog, of course. He stops barking when he enters the interior. (Watch the video above starting at 9:25.)
She also repeated a joke about a man involving his wife as a witness of an armed robbery in a bank, apparently as a ploy to convince the thief to shoot him in the head.
Hyde-Smith told jokes at the Farm Bureau convention while she was the Mississippi agriculture commissioner, an elective position.
She pointed out that some men had trouble imagining him in the role. But she did not comment negatively on the jokes she repeated, which caused the audience to laugh.
She also stated that, before being elected commissioner, she had a break in the campaign with her driver at Gautier's men's club. When she and her driver were asked if they were pole dancers, she said "no," she said, laughing. "I took Gautier very big. And that's all we'll say about it. "(At 8:35 in the video.)
Hyde-Smith has already been accused of racism and lost campaign contributions for joking earlier this month, saying she would be willing to attend a "public hanging" (she apologized later) and for putting under a Confederate hat. It was also revealed that Hyde-Smith's parents had sent her to a separate school.
However, the video of the convention, published on the Farm Bureau's YouTube channel and republished on Twitter, is the first major event behind accusations of sexism against Hyde-Smith.
Some Twitters supporters said that Hyde-Smith was just repeating sexist jokes. Stunned by the sexist digs, others said that the offensive jokes should not have been repeated and that they absolutely should not smile and not say why.
Hyde-Smith was appointed to the Senate earlier this year by Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant (right), to occupy the seat left by former Senator Thad Cochran (right). She will face former Congressman Mike Espy (D) during a special election on Tuesday.
