BLITZER: Well, I guess the basic question, Congresswoman, is, if they asked you to stop and identify yourself and go through the metal detector, what was the big deal? Why not do that?
MCKINNEY: Well, you know, that goes to the heart of the press conference that we had today. The bottom line on this is that it doesn't matter if you're in the United States Capitol or the Georgia Capitol, the issue is racial profiling.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BLITZER: Congresswoman McKinney, did you strike one of those Capitol Police officers during this incident on Capitol Hill?
MCKINNEY: inside the Capitol Hill Police Department there are problems inside with the treatment of -- or the respect for diversity, let me say.
BLITZER: This is an extremely serious charge you're making, Congresswoman.
MCKINNEY: Well, I haven't made a charge. I just asked you to do a little bit of research. (BS, BS, BS! :My emphasis)
BLITZER: No, no, no, but...
MCKINNEY: And...
BLITZER: ... you were talking earlier about racial profiling, and that there was racism involved in stopping you for questioning because you weren't wearing your congressional pin.
MCKINNEY: Now, Wolf, you know I didn't say that, so, don't twist my words.
BLITZER: Well, tell us what you said.
MCKINNEY: Don't even begin to twist my words.
BLITZER: Tell us what you said.
MCKINNEY: And whatever it is that I said is already on the tape. So, you can replay the tape.
Now, I think it's probably a good time now for you to bring in my attorneys.

My 9th grader went to DC on a class trip back in February. Before they left, the (all-white) group was sternly lectured about how to deport themselves in the presence of the Capitol Hill police--Zero tolerance for foolishness. Gotz nothing to do with race.
Drudge has this on his site this morning:
REP. DELAY: 'Cynthia mckinney is a racist. She has a long history of racism. Everything is racism with her. This is incredible arrogance, and -- that sometimes hits these members of congress, but especially Cynthia McKinney'...
If there was ever a cause for a protest, this is one. We should DEMAND this sorry excuse for a human be charged and prosecuted for her crimes. It's "racial profiling" to let her get away with it. A judge should also send her for a mental evaluation for 30 days. She should at the very least be removed from congress.
Funny, isn't it, that we never hear Condi Rice whining about racial profiling, after all, she is a black woman, so doesn't she get the same treatment that McKinney gets?
Wow a black racist, I suppose tomorrow we will have a story on the sun coming up in the east.
IOW - "I am lying my butt off and can't remember what lie I just told."
And thereby, a complete and hideous insult to idiots, in the process.
Exactly...I can't wait to hear from the officer.
Wolf usually respects politicans...but in this case...he knows she is a low-life player. I can't recall her being on with Wolf very much...if ever. She made a serious mistake showing up on the show. She makes the democrats look like fools and the entire Washington establishment looks foolish. I'm guessing that the cops will arrest her early next week...and try to end this mess.
She's not going to be arrested at all.
That's on the same timeline as the deportation of illegals.
LOL! Photoshopping in the "Beer Looter's" face is a funny touch...
