-Representative Cynthia Mckinney
Well, I rather suspect the deafening lack of support has finally made Cynthia McKinney realize she had badly, badly, badly handled the entire incident. Her playing of the race card was so inept that even the media reports were not sympathetic. The reports that a grand jury is now looking into the matter must have played a part as well.
I will say this; it took her much too long to admit she was wrong and she tried to make the issue into something it was not, but at least she finally stood up and admitted it on the floor of the House.
The Democratic party leadership still has some explaining to do: Why were they silent? This was a no-brainer folks. You should have condemned the bad behavior for what it was, not stood mute.

Stupidity knows no bounds, except with the Dems & McKinney…
As I like to say, never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
“There should not have been any physical contact in this incident.”
By that, does she mean she never should have slugged the officer with her cell phone?
It’s not a very good apology, she never said SHE was at fault, but it’s a start.
