Georgians Nominate McKinney
Terrible news from Georgia, where voters have taken a huge step backward with the nomination of antisemitic tool of radical Islam Cynthia McKinney. (Hat tip: Solomon X, who writes, “Welcome to September 10, folks.”)
“AP) — Outspoken Democrat Cynthia McKinney shouted “I’m back!” after a surprise primary victory tonight in her old congressional district east of Atlanta.
The state’s first black congresswoman, McKinney served 10 years in the House before losing in 2002. While in Congress, she dished out brash remarks to both Republicans and Democrats she saw as too conservative, and political watchers doubted she would escape a runoff in her someback bid.
But McKinney claimed outright victory with 51 percent of the vote.
McKinney said she was vindicated for her controversial remarks about President Bush. The year she lost, McKinney told a talk radio host that Bush had advance warning of the September 11th attacks.
