Representative Cynthia McKinneys lawyer says that she is simply a victim of being in Congress while black.
McKinney planned a late-afternoon news conference in Washington to discuss the altercation she had with a Capitol police officer on Wednesday. Her lawyer, James W. Myart Jr. says that her problems with police are racial in nature.
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin, Myart said. Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black.
Another Dem profile in courage. She has to bring reinforcements. And the best she could do is Glover? Snort. Where's Pelosi, who said what McKinney did was no big deal? Hiding under a desk somewhere with Russ Feingeld?
It was the new Don King hairdo that caused the probem.
What a gift. Pelosi had both fingers crossed yesterday saying the thing was no big deal.
Like clockwork, she had to go racial.
Everybody know where this is going?
Time for the popcorn and comfy couches as she gives away what the D's seemed to gain from the Dubai Ports Deal.
Security is important, but exceptions need to be made for black congresspeople.
Wow. Defeat from the jaws of victory.
Who slapped who again?
I can't believe Howard University wants to be associated with this.
This is the gift that keeps on giving. LOL...
Another victim who doesn't obey the rules. Wear the ID you are supposed to and if you are harrassed obeying the rules that is a headline story. As we're told when we're going through airport security, it's for your own good..!
Just checked the few threads at DUh about this. The mental patients are almost to the man defending her ONLY because she is a black liberal. Its so gross how racist these people are. If a white Republican man or woman did it, they would make it worse than the Holocuast. Its scary that people like this vote.
Another great example of an anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life Democratic Crime Syndicate member.
John Gibson just said she's about to do a news conference.
Of course. What else could they be?
She is what I will not type.

(It's good to be in the driver's seat)
Spoken like a true 'quota-filler' from day one. I wonder if she's sued her way to the top like a lot of people who otherwise couldn't make it on merit.
Really? What percentage of entrances to Congress of black Congressmen end up in altercations with the police?
Thanks. :)
Press conference live on Fox News.
CNN couldn't bother.
