> [@John Mace](#): > > I’m no fan of Malkin, but that’s pretty disingenuous to imply she claims it never happened. Firstly, it’s quite possible that she hadn’t heard Pelosi’s remarks yet (both quotes are from the same day), and Malkin was focusing on whether or not Dems defending the police, not on whether they rebuked McKinney. House Whip Steny Hoyer made his remarks about the Capitol police the day before Malkin made her claim. The least she could have done was check with the Congressional leadership beofre making such a broad claim. Hoyer is one of the top four Dems on the Hill. ---

Wait-McKinley hit someone with a phone? Jesus, no wonder he was assassinated. ---

So far Vladimir Putin remains silent. But as soon as sumbitch as much as yawns I’ll tie him in with Cynthia. Somehow I will! ---

Hoyer is one of the top four Dems on the Hill. No. Fairer to say Malkin made her claim in a column published after the comments were made. It is a syndicated column, and I’m sure she had to get it ready before its April 5th publishing date. Print media is frequently overtaken by events. It is a limitation of the system. Malkin has made some corrections in her blog. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hereby-pit-cynthia-mckinney-she-of-the-raging-ego-and-race-card/351417.md?page=2)
