Google, Walmart and MLB demand Cindy Hyde-Smith refund campaign donations after racial remarks

Google has joined a number of major organisations demanding refunds for campaign donations sent to Cindy Hyde-Smith whose controversial racial remarks have drawn backlash just before a crucial run-off election for a Senate seat in Mississippi. As voters flocked to the polls to cast their ballots in the final senatorial election of the 2018 midterms, Google confirmed it had requested a $5,000 refund for a donation the tech giant had previously sent to the senator’s re-election campaign.
