MLB looks to take back donation

Major League Baseball is trying to take back a donation to

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (RMiss.) made weeks after the politician said she would be “front row” at a “public hanging” if invited by a constituent.

The $5,000 donation, first reported by Popular Info, is dated Nov. 23, according to a Federal Election Commission report. MLB’s Political Action Committee also donated $2,500 to Hyde Smith in June and September.

But this is the first made after the Republican’s “hanging” comment, made at a Nov. 2 campaign event.

A spokesperson told Fancred that MLB was not aware of “Cindy Hyde-Smith’s reprehensible comments” when it made the donation, despite the fact that the contribution was made three weeks after her “hanging” remark.
