Mississippi Senator Raises Cancer Research Funds Amid Tutu Photo Controversy
TL;DR Summary
Mississippi state Senator Jeremy England, a supporter of Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann for reelection, says a photo of him wearing a pink tutu costume for a breast cancer research fundraiser has been misused in an increasingly divisive GOP primary. The photo was posted on Twitter with a derogatory comment, sparking controversy. England considers it a form of dirty politics and believes it was meant as a threat.
