Is Cynthia McKinney D-GA Insane?
McKinney Faces Arrest for Scuffle
Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-4th Ga.)
Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney delayed a scheduled news conference Friday morning as U.S. Capitol police reportedly made plans to seek an arrest warrant against her for striking a police officer.
McKinney's office says the news conference is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. They say that actor Danny Glover will also be present at the news conference to be held on Howard University's campus in northwest Washington.
McKinney, a Democrat, represents Atlanta suburbs that make up one of Georgia's two black-majority districts. She planned to hold a news conference with her lawyer on Friday at 11 a.m., but an aide in her office said a new time and date for the news conference were being arranged.
The six-term congresswoman is said to have hit a Capitol Police officer in the chest earlier this week when he stopped her from entering the building without going through a metal detector. McKinney said she was not wearing a lapel pin identifying her as a House member, but that she did display her Congressional identification badge.
The charges, if they are filed against her, could include felony assault on a police officer or simple assault, which is a misdemeanor. Before police can make an arrest, the U.S. Attorney's office has to approve the warrant and then notify the U.S. Justice Department because the warrant involves a sitting member of Congress.
U.S. Capitol Police said there is surveillance video of the confrontation between the officer and McKinney, but they say the video will not be released. McKinney released a statement saying she deeply regrets the incident, but was rushing to a meeting when the officer failed to recognize her. "Unfortunately, the Police Officer did not recognize me as a Member of Congress and a confrontation ensued," the statement read.
McKinney said that government security officers often fail to recognize her and treat her like a criminal suspect. Her staff members are defending her by distributing a clip of her from the new film “American Blackout.” As McKinney shows the filmmaker around the capitol grounds, a security officer fails to recognize her at first and stops her.
“That’s just typical of the type of treatment I receive. It’s typical. So, I’m not surprised and I’m not offended,” McKinney said in the film. “Okay. Thank you. Some things never change."
The incident has become the topic of much-heated debate on talk radio and for Democrats and Republicans on the Hill. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday labeled it "a mistake, an unfortunate lack of recognition of a member of Congress." She added that the police officer was not at fault. "I would not make a big deal of this," said Pelosi, D-Calif. Ron Bonjean, spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., responded: "How many officers would have to be punched before it becomes a big deal?"

Let me get this right, Cynthia isnt wearing a distinctive Pin on her Lapel that tells Security and all the Capital Hill Police "I'm a Congresswoman", she gets "Upset" that the person who is suppose to protect HER and every member of Congress from "Intruders" (That might possibly try to cause harm to our elected leaders) entering the Halls Of Congress, for her and their protection. This Police Officer sees no Pin, doesnt recognize her, grabs her arm before she enters to make sure she is SUPPOSE to be going in there, then she HITS this Police officer with her cell phone, or whatever, and now SHE is the one claiming Descrimination against a Police Officer doing HIS job? And then to top it off she holds a Press Conference today with Danny Glover, and Harry Belefonte, (Of all people) and says "She is a victim of being in Congress while black."? So the Capital Police are suppose to recognize ALL 400-600 members of Congress ALL the time (Even without wearing their pin?) So Cynthia can assault a Capital Hill Police Officer while doing HIS job, hit him, slap him, and whatever she want's to do to him because SHE was not properly identified, HE wants to make sure SHE is who SHE is, and SHE is claiming "Racial Discrimination"? She should have been arrested on the spot! No checking with the Attorney General, just flat out arrested like anyone else would be had they tried to enter the Capital building without proper Identification! This couldnt have been a stunt for her upcomming film "American Blackout" could it? Just another election ploy? Or maybe the Capital Hill Police should never check ANYONE going into the Halls of Congress EVER again because they might be charged with Discrimination, Intimidation, or what ever defense theory those in Congress can come up with. But let some one go in there and blow themselves up, and see what the Congress would say! "You didnt do enough to protect us", (Capital Hill Police: "We tried, but you guys always claim we are in the wrong")What a DOLT! I hope they arrest her ass!

Lawyer: McKinney A Victim
Pelosi: Let's Not Make A Big Deal Out Of This
No Apology From McKinney Even Though She Broke The Law

McKinney is indeed psycho!!
Found you via Mark. Liked your comment about Hannity kicking Baldwin's ass :-).
I looooooove your pic at the very top of your blog.
Chatterbox,
I have noticed that you and I think alot alike :-)
And I cant help it, but Baldwin did have it comming. He is an .......! And I just cant stand it when someone from Hollywood think's just because they are "Supposed Actors or Actresses" that they have a CLUE what's going on in our Government!
They should just stick to acting because when they open their mouth's that makes me not want to go see their pictures anymore.
And yes I do believe McKinney is psycho. This has gone from a little incedent with her and an officer trying to actually protect her to a full blown Racial Issue! This thing SHE has created is stupid! Thank's for visiting I will make sure I do the same over the weekend :-)
Chatterbox,
I Love that Sean Hannity Photo!
Oh and I Love that Pic at the top of the Blog also thank's :-)
Lmao CP,
I dont know if she had a License for the cell phone but can you imagine a Security guard seeing her come in without a pin, with a cell phone, lol what would you think? I would be thinking hit the floor lol.
Yeah CP,
She is full of excuses but she is also putting out some kind of a book or something I wonder if this was some stunt she tried to pull to get publicity.
CP,
Just wanted to let you know that they struck me too Marie.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised to be the target of idiot's who are not man enough to use their real name and hide behind a computer.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I am terribly sorry if I brought these Morons on you, I have been visiting this website Expose The Left And I dont know if that's where they came from or not. But they are a wild bunch. I must have struck a nerve there lol, but again sorry if it was me who brought the weirdos in.
Yeah Really Mark,
No Plan, a fake plan for National Security, they have nothing left. Just bash Bush and Bash us. Sorry if they hit you too Mark and whoever else reads this. I'm not positive they came from there but I am assuming and they have gone through my comments found yall and well crap.
Tjat's why there is a trash can feature I guess lol and they hit the trash :-)
So you've contracted a case of moonbatitis? I wouldn't be surprised if they did follow you from Ian's site. They have no life, and he gets heat when he invades CrooksandLiars.com, the leftist equivalent to his site. That place is crawling with those roaches, like DailyKos.
As for the Congress(wo)man, she seems to carry a serious chip on her shoulder and it's plain arrogance and vanity to expect people to recognize you, then get bent out of shape over it because they are just doing their job. Even if it were a job requirement for Capitol Hill police to recognize by face every single congressman, a real leader would be humble and remain cool about it. It's such a not-a-big-deal. Glad she's not a Hollywood celeb who expects name and face recognition.
Yep a severe case Word,
So it's like a Domino effect? One goes to one site, and on and on, well they are just goning to hit the dumpster.
As for the Congress(wo)man, she seems to carry a serious chip on her shoulder and it's plain arrogance and vanity to expect people to recognize you, then get bent out of shape over it because they are just doing their job.
That's what I was thinking Word, what if it was a new Capital Police officer that day?
He doesnt know what the heck is going on, he does his job, she isnt wearing her pin for at least real quick Identification, then he gets batted upside the head with a Phone? He must have thought (IF he was new) Screw this job! If he wasnt new, he didnt recognize her, he still gets batted upside the head, and probably still say's "Screw this job", I feel sorry for the Police Officer.
No foolin what wasnt a big deal is now a full blown Racial issue.
From what I understand this happens to some (Alot) that arent wearing "Their Pin" Black AND White, and no-one has ever hit the police officer or made an issue of it.
McKinney is Insane.
LOL Anon,
I will send you several Nimrod's for your collection.
"Is Cynthia McKinney D-GA Insane?"
YES.
Mark,
Dont beat around the Bush lol
Thank's Stevin,
Yanni piped through speakers on the ceiling, that will teach her!
Stefan,
I guess I am not as qualified as those in Hollywood to speak my mind, then again I am not out there making movies that hardly anyone is standing inline to see. The low turn outs at the box office proves people just dont like Hollywood saying crap about the Country and they are tired of it.
CP,
I just posted that lol..
I think she's in hot hot water.
So you know Stefan eh? lol he did it! He brought all the weirdo's in!
