U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-4th Ga.) is expected to have something new to say about her run-in with a Capitol police officer at a news conference on Monday morning.

The incident happened last week. McKinney says she was the victim of racial profiling by Capitol police in the incident.

McKinney’s spokespersons say that she will have “something new” to say at a 10:30 a.m. news conference, at the Community Church of Christ on Cascade Road in southwest Atlanta.

Then, "The pin is not the issue," the six-time congresswoman said. "The issue is face recognition."

Let's ask Rep. McKinney if she can recognize each of the police officers who work at the Capitol. I am guessing she would be unable to do so. Yet they are supposed to recognize each and every member of the legislature. Of course, the response would be that they should recognize her because she is a leader of international importance... not like those poor menial laborers whose job is to guard her life! Why should she be expected to show even common courtesy to the people who put their own lives on the line for her sorry existence.
