Facebook post says Bennie Thompson calls MS-2 ‘my congressional district’

A Facebook post accused U.S. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of claiming Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District as “my congressional district” and said his “reign of terror” over the district is ending.

The message, published on a public Facebook page, said: “Bennie Thompson calls MS-2 ‘my congressional district.’ No Sir. MS-2 is not YOUR congressional district. It is the people of Mississippi’s!!” The post added: “Congressman Bennie G. Thompson’s reign of terror on MS-2 is over. It is not a matter of ‘IF…’ Just a matter of ‘WHEN!'”

Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District is one of the state’s U.S. House districts. The Facebook post reflects political opposition to Thompson, who currently represents the district, but it did not identify an author or provide supporting evidence for its claims.

Details about the context of the post, including who authored it and whether it reflects a wider campaign or local response, were not provided. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
