Most people already know that former Democrat Representative Cynthia McKinney is crazy. But travelling to Libya and appearing on Libyan state TV? That's a whole new kind of crazy.
Appearing in a live interview on Libyan state TV, McKinney stated that she was in Libya on a "fact-finding" mission. She then went on to slam US policies.
"I think that it's very important that people understand what is happening here," she began. "And it's important that people all over the world see the truth. And that is why I am here ... to understand the truth."
She continued later, "Under the economic policies of the Obama administration, those who have the least are losing the most. And those who have the most are getting even more. The situation in the United States is becoming more dire for average ordinary Americans, and the last thing we need to do is to spend money on death, destruction and war."
McKinney also discussed bringing additional people to Libya.
"I want to say categorically and very clearly that these policies of war ... are not what the people of the United States stand for, and it's not what African-Americans stand for," she added.
Earlier in the week, McKinney also appeared on Press TV, Iran's state-run news station.
In ‘normal’ times, they would call that treason..
Is she considered a leader of the American Community? She seems to be speaking for us. I am against the war in Libya especially without Congressional consent however.
There are many things they would call treason in normal times.
FYI: She might be, still, registered with the Green Party, instead of registered with the Democratic Party.
"..look at dat shinny tang"
Oh noze, Prez Sutoro is losing the Cynthia McKinney-Calypso Louie wing of the democrat party?
God in his wisdom allowed the creation of a congessional district whose sole purpose was to keep Georgia humble. Kind of like Sheila Jackson Lee’s district in Texas, only that hasn’t worked as well.
Cancel her passport.
Is that Patrick Kennedy in drag?
Someone should slap her.
Ironic that Cyndi was talking to a woman wearing
required head and body coverings; without which
she would likely be be murdered.
That’s not terrorism against women?
That’s not women being under the foot of
(male) oppressors?
Screaming at the choir, here, I know, but
the gall in my throat needed release.
Jane Fonda’s long lost child.
So she’s against Obama’s policies, therefore she’s a racist.
