She reeked of ego and being above the law. Which makes her a reelected politician, They seem to get that way. 98% reelection rate makes them that way. Even though she got voted out once before. She learned nothing.  
It was still fun listening to her speeches. They were not main stream.

Just saw on Fox News some footage from last night of McKinney’s entourage spewing rascist and anti-semetic threats at the press.

Anybody see it on any other channels?

Anybody think the MSM will be particularly outraged?

Am I the only one who thinks it’s a wee bit unpatriotic to play these kinds of cynical games with our sacred electoral process?

Just so long as they’re not burning flags…
