WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Capitol Hill police plan to issue an arrest warrant today for Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.).
The warrant is related to the incident Wednesday when McKinney allegedly slapped a Capitol Hill police officer.
Charges could range from assault on a police officer, which is a felony carrying a possible five year prison term, to simple assault, which is a misdeamenor.

The response?:
Cynthia McKinney: "Let me be clear. This whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female black congresswoman,"
Her Lawyer: "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."
Did anybody see this?...Disgusting display of what Democrats are all about...She assaults an officer and then pulls out the race card and uses it to whip up the black folk into a deepening hate of whitey...That should be punishable by lynching.
