Walmart, Union Pacific and Boston Scientific have all asked Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith to return their campaign contributions after the Mississippi Republican came under fire for a racial slur. Hyde-Smith praised a supporter by saying, "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row." The politician said the statement was made in jest and denied any racial connotation, according to Politico. Walmart gave $2,000 to the senator.
