As her Democratic challenger Scott Colom reminded everyone in a comical ad this week, when a reporter asked Hyde-Smith about families struggling to afford the higher price of beef, she said shoppers “have so many proteins to choose from.”
Let them eat pinto beans, it’s safe to say, is not the message voters want to hear from the ruling party. Republicans, as a general rule, have trumpeted conspicuous, even wasteful and unhealthy, consumption.
