At a press conference today in Atalanta, Black lawmakers, clergy and activist gathered to declare their continued support<\/a> for Representative Cynthia McKinney. <\/p>\n

McKinney has been accused of “assaulting” a Capitol Police officer. The officer, not recognizing the congresswoman, grabbed McKinney “in an innapproiate way” as she was entering the Capitol Builing. Upon being touched, McKinney apparently touched the officer in return with a mobile phone.<\/p>\n

Republican lawmakers and other GOP operatives are now using the issue to “swiftboat” Represenatitive McKinney. As always, the corporate media gladly forsakes important news to participate in the right-wing echo chamber.<\/p>\n

As of today, the D.C. Capitol Police confirm<\/a> that the incident has been referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office but would not say if a warrant has been issued for McKinney’s arrest.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/b> AP reports<\/a> that D.C. Capitol Police have requested permission from Federal Prosecutors to issue an arrest warrant for Cynthia McKinney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
