@titania AHAHAH!!!! this is fantastic, I had no idea about this back story!
@SRLevine OH YEAH. No, it literally was because he wasn't transphobic enough for her tastes. https://www.advocate.com/politics/cindy-hyde-smith-blocked-scott-colom
AND NOW...HE TOOK HER SEAT!
Literally, she blocked him from a judgeship for the pettiest reasons possible (basically: he's a Black man who wasn't transphobic enough for her liking), and now, well.
Hyde-Smith conceded this afternoon. ๐
