Dunno. I heard that senators and congressmen frequently walk around the security checkpoint because security personnel recognize them and pass them through.
Point is, Cynthia was not recognized, walked through, failed to respond to the capitol policeman and them proceeded to physically assault him. Then had the audacity to play the race and victim card. Uh-uh! Cynthia shows no class, no common sense, no judgment. Typical 60s spoiled brat.

Typical 60s spoiled brat.

Don't think so. IMO, she epitomizes the "Gangsta" culture. Be loud, be angry, be disruptive, disrespectful of authority. Don't want to act "too white". The people of her district have elected a thug. And they are proud of their thug. She's just "telling it like it is".

The problem for the Dems is, as others have mentioned, this doesn't play well in a post 9/11 world. Beat up on a cop who is just doing his job. The people in her district don't care, but the Republicans will use antics like hers to scare the he!! out of voters.

Elect them, you get her. (My smarmy sound bite for the day.)
