Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
The latest example came this week in Mississippi, where Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom released a video with a snippet of Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith saying that if consumers are upset over high beef prices, “you know you have so many proteins to choose from.”
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The Mississippi race is somewhat unusual because it’s the Democrat hammering the Republican over beef.
Elsewhere, Republicans have branded Democrats as vegans or otherwise opposed to meat, trying to show that they’re culturally out of step with voters, hostile to local cattle industries or just not manly enough.
Talarico has since been publicly scarfing down barbecue to rebut allegations that his dietary choices mean he’s not a real Texan.
In Colorado, Republicans have gone after Democratic congressional candidate Manny Rutinel for his activism against meat production and factory farming.
