Check out the video at the end of the 4th paragraph. She's keeps dodging the questions and the interviewer pretty much grills her.

Sorry if this has been posted before.

She's an idiot... Huge surprise, huh?

[Drake S.]

Ahh Ignorance. See why I love my country but it's goverment gives me nightmares .

[St.James]

How about that moron attorney? I'd love to clip that twit right in the teeth a few dozen times!

[Tom B]

it's really funny when the congreswoman takes the word from the attorney, you can see his face go like 'oh no you stupid woman, just shut up and let me do the talking' :d

[Badseed]

Typical, blame everyone else for your problems. This land of entitlement we live in is out of control.She doesnt feel that she needs to adhere to the safetystandards everyone else does because she's a member of congress? Screw her.Racism wasnt the freakin reason she was stopped and she knows it.

[Shawn Lutz]

well it was because she was an ugly woman, not because she was black. Its Sexism not racism

[fett]

I hope they press charges on her and make them stick. The guard was doing his job and she was being arrogant and then defiant. Not only that, she hit him. Throw her and the rest of Congress in the slammer for a month or three.

Of course she'd pull the race card out. It's the only thing she could use to distract from the real issue - that she should have worn her pin and shouldn't have hit the cop.

Ah, the sweet, sweet race card. Fall back argument to those who have no true defense.

Who could possibly recognize 300+ people who look, talk, and even act the same way 99% of the time? :p

My question is this. How come EVERYONE doesn't have to pass the metal detector? Is it beyond comprehension that someone in congress could snap and bring in a weapon? I understand the courtesy, but geez. In this day and age ALL must be scanned.

Where I work everyone gets scanned from the Administrator (warden), Chief, Captain on down through the uniformed ranks and all civilians.

Try letting the Captain in without showing his ID and passing the scanner. You'd be enjoying a nice unpaid vacation.

[StukaJU87]

Oh, and as for this woman. Fuck her. She is throwing up alot of smoke to try and cover up her fuck up. It is just a shame she drew the race card. My God, I wish some black people would leave that card in the deck once in a while and own up to their wrong doings.

[SeventhSon]

That video is unreal. She is a joke and a snake. Just like all politicians. Just a dumber ass one.

[Soap]

What bothers me about this as well as other cases like it.
You should know better than assault a police officer.
Don't care if they're deserving of it, you don't assault an officer.
There are laws that have been in place for years against assaulting an officer. Common sense tells you shouldn't do it.

Just one among many misusing the racial issue as a means to advance themselves in life. Personally, I think they (the system) should use her as an example to remind Americans don't assault officers and don't use the racial issue card to file lawsuits. Its obvious by her behavior on the video interview she proves herself as a difficult individual and one looking for an opportunity to cry racism.

Stop spending tax payers money on such foolishness.
Shes needs to be taught a lesson in common sense and decency toward a fellow officer. I say taz her sorry self about a dozen times. Show the footage of her tazing to embarrase and humliate for such idotic foolishness she's trying to pull with the judical system and Americans money.
