For years, a photograph of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) was pinned to a wall in a basement office of the Capitol Police.

Much like a “wanted” poster, the photograph was a warning to Capitol security officers: Thick braids and all, learn this woman’s face. More important, know that she is, indeed, a member of Congress. McKinney is one of the few members who brazenly refuses to wear her member’s pin, and instead lets it dangle on a chain where security can barely spot it.

What kind of crack was this Grand Jury smoking? She has been getting away with TOO much for TOO long, not only here in Georgia, but on the national stage after 9/11. Remember when she offered to take the Saudi money offered to Giuliani, but Giuliani turned it down? She said her black people could use the money. What a disgrace. An article written by Jonah Golberg in 2002 highlighted some of the details:

McKinney’s hypocrisy is so concentrated it could eat through metal. The only politician I know of who actively tried to profit from Sept. 11, was Cynthia McKinney herself. She’s the one who went whoring after Saudi Arabia’s blood money after the attacks. (In fact, this column was supposed to be just a one-paragraph intro to a reprint of my column about that shameful episode.)

Cynthia and her father BOTH have a long history in Georgia of corrupt activities in elections, and other things too numerous to mention here. There is plenty of evidence though…talk about bad press! Check here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and TONS here, just to illustrate a few. One of the most egregious was outlined by Jeff Johnson of CNS News in an article on April 18, 2002: 

…McKinney is under investigation for at least six counts of alleged election law violations stemming from her purported activities in a voting precinct in DeKalb County, Ga., on Election Day 2000.

An administrative law judge will hear charges that McKinney “invaded” a polling place during polling hours, harassed and intimated poll watchers, and directly solicited votes while there.

The Georgia State Board of Elections has voted unanimously twice to recommend action by the state on all six counts.

Kent doubts McKinney will acknowledge any wrongdoing in accepting donations from supporters of terrorist organizations.

“I’m wondering if she’s going to give the money back,” he asked rhetorically. “But I know she won’t.”
