Captain’s Quarters sums up the Cynthia McKinney cop-punching tale, as the Moonbat Representative decides to take it to the line:

Cynthia McKinney may cause a security crisis all on her own in the nation’s capital before she gets done with her moment of infamy. Instead of apologizing for failing to wear proper identification, violating a security checkpoint, ignoring a security officer when he asked her to stop, and then assaulting him when he attempted to detain her, McKinney claims that she has been victimized — by the racist and sexist molesters who guard the government offices in DC:

Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who had an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, said Friday a Capitol police officer started the incident by “inappropriately touching and stopping” her after she walked past a security checkpoint.

McKinney, speaking at a news conference, declared she will be exonerated. “Let me be clear. This whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female black congresswoman,” McKinney said, surrounded by supporters at predominantly black Howard University. …

Her lawyer, James W. Myart Jr., said, “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.”

“Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black,” Myart said. “Congresswoman McKinney will be exonerated.”
