JACKSONU.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith accepted a donation from Peter Sieve, a businessman in Washington state known for his white supremacist views, just days after a video published by Bayou Brief surfaced in which she says she would be on the front row if a supporter invited her to a public hanging.
Zieve donated $2,700, the max donation an individual can make, to Hyde-Smiths campaign on Nov. 14. Progressive newsletter Popular Info first reported the donation, which came three days progressive blogger Lamar White published the video on the Bayou Brief on Nov. 11.
Zieve Paid Staff to Procreate, Called Immigrants Rubbish
The State of Washington sued Zieve in 2011 for refusing to hire Muslims at his business, Electroimpact. He required applicants to submit photos of themselves, documents show.
"I can tell you that most Chinese hate moslems, the lawsuit quotes him saying in an April 2015 email. Not as much as me, but an adequate amount of hate."
In an October 2015 email, Zieve responded to an employees announcement that his wife had given birth to a baby by writing that 381,000 terrorist savages have gotten into Europe so far this year and if we dont make more babies the light will (go) out on civilization.

(83,332 posts)Court documents reveal Zieves employees regularly engaged in anti-Muslim rhetoric.
How do you save half the Muslims? Kill the other half, one employee wrote in a company jokes listserv. In December 2015, Zieve sent an email to the listserv saying American born Muslims are almost as dangerous as the Syrian imports.
Zieve settled the lawsuit for $485,000 in 2017 and issued an apology.
Afterward, he made a run for Mukilteo City Council in Washington, and part of his platform included a plank to strengthen public safety in response to transient and criminal populations moving into Mukilteo. He attacked his opponent for neither being married nor having kids. He lost after winning 33 percent of the vote.
In 2016, Zieve admitted he was behind a campaign to stop construction of a mosque in Mukilteo.
Zieve made maximum donations to other Republican candidates this year, including to Rick Scotts U.S. Senate campaign in Florida, Marsha Blackburns U.S. Senate campaign in Tennessee, Martha McSallys U.S. Senate campaign in Arizona, and dozens more. His donations to GOP candidates go back decades.
He is one of the top donors to Solution Fund, a Louisiana-based Super PAC that in 2017 supported Republican Roy Moores failed bid for U.S. Senate in Alabama. That year, the PAC used Trumps attacks on black NFL players to boost fundraising and help Moores campaign.
