Cynthia McKinney’s Statement: Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Black (VIDEO)
Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D – GA) appeared on CNN this afternoon with two of her lawyers to discuss the altercation that occurred last week between the congress- woman and a Capitol police officer.
When Wolf Blitzer would ask about the incident she would immediately turn it into a race issue, even if it had nothing to do with it. One time she answered that school children who visited McKinney were being eyed on by police, simply because they were black. Or perhaps it could have been because they were in the Capitol building and it is the police’s job to keep a watch on everyone.
When one of her lawyers, James Myart, was asked if there was a physical altercation he too immediately turned this into a race issue. Later in the interview, Blitzer asked the lawyer if he thought the officer acted appropriately to being stopped. Myart turned the question around and rhetorically asked Wolf if the congresswoman reacted and acted appropriately.
McKinney contradicted herself several times during the interview. One of those times was when CNN put up a screen split three ways. The first one was a live shot of McKinney, the second was a several month old photo and the third was a recent photo. I am not sure if McKinney was aware or not that the screen showed those pictures because she said that there was no excuse for the police officer for not recognizing her because nothing has changed about her looks. However, later in the interview she said that her hair-do has changed and implied that isn’t an excuse, even though the police officer couldn’t see her face as her back was turned to him/her as she passed through security.Hat Tip to Ian Schwartz at Expose the Left.

This whole thing smells like a set-up. Little Miss Cutie Pie McKinney is more of a sociopath than Bill Clinton. She just loves being in the limelight.
It is black racists like McKinney, Glover, Harry whatever, Faracan, etc., etc., etc., that have set back race relations in this country to a sad degree.
People are losing patience with this constant cry of racism at every turn.
I think this is one of the most ridiculous and infuriating things I have seen come out of Washington in at least a month. If I were to try to walk into any county court house in the country and refuse to obey the lawful commands of an officer to stop for identification, I would be lucky if I didn't end up on the ground in hand cuffs. If I hit the officer(s) in response to them touching me, well lets just say CNN wouldn't be discussing weather or not what I did was appropriate or not.
Anonymous - if you think this is the worst thing to come out of Washington in at least a month - you're an idiot.
McKinney is a disgrace to Democrats and Congressmen/women as a whole. She should be removed from office and arrested for assaulting the police officer.
Bush's massive spending, the faltering "war" in Iraq, and Delay's corruption are more infuriating than McRetard.
The woman is certifiably nuts. She certainly has delusions of grandeur. If I hit someone in the face with a cell phone, there would be repurcussions that I would not like. What the hell does she think she has? Diplomatic Immunity??? The cry of those who have been "racially profiled" is soooooooooo old and soooooooo stale and it has gotten to the point where they are the laughing stock when they make these charges. It isn't a black/white issue. It is a perfect example of abject stupidity! Give me a break!
To bad she didn't get shot when she attacked this officer!
