Cynthia McKinney, Just As Dumb As She Looks

Cynthia McKinney — no, let’s be more accurate — “Cynthia McKinney, PhD” — doesn’t care for Jews. In fact, this former Congresswoman from Georgia hates them so much that she is willing to make common cause with David Duke, the former head of the KKK, who hates Jews, too — but also hates blacks. So deep is her hatred of Jews that McKinney is willing to overlook Duke’s contempt and hatred for blacks because he shares her hatred of Jews. She’s just tweeted her enthusiastic support for an antisemitic livestream on which former KKK grand wizard David Duke appeared along with black Anti-Semite Ayo Kimathi. More on her rapturous endorsement of an anti-black racist whose saving grace, in her view, is his antisemitism, can be found here: “Former Six-Term Democratic Congresswoman Tweets Support For Anti-Semitic Livestream: ‘I Know Where I’ll Be!,’” by Jennifer Bowers Bahney, Mediaite, September 11, 2023:

“I know where I’ll be and what I’ll be watching at 6:00 pm EASTERN time today!” McKinney posted and pinned to her X account. The tweet included a program poster that read, “Can Black People and White People Work Together To Defeat Our Common Enemy?” The title appeared above a Star of David and the words “Jews are the problem.”…

“Jews are the problem.” What does this remind us of? Why, it’s the Nazi slogan – “Die Juden sind unser Ungluück” (The Jews are our misfortune”) — that became the motto of Der Stürmer. The phrase was taken from the nineteenth-century racist (“blacks are inferior”) and antisemite Heinrich von Treitschke.

In 2002, McKinney pushed the conspiracy theory that Zionists were responsible for the 9/11 hijackings, and that then-President George W. Bush had foreknowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, and over Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

As of 2021, Georgia legislators were working to rename the The Cynthia McKinney Parkway that runs through DeKalb, County in response to her anti-Zionism.

According to her bio, McKinney received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley and is currently a professor of political science at North South University in Bangladesh.

McKinney received only her B.A. from Berkeley. She has a “Ph.D” — she always signs herself “Cynthia McKinney, Ph.D.” to make sure we realize what an educated woman she is — from the now-defunct Antioch University. Her doctoral thesis was on “the transformational leadership of Hugo Chavez”; her Ph.D. was in “Leadership and Change.” Hugo Chavez’ leadership was “transformational,” all right — he was the Communist dictator who managed to bring the Venezuelan economy to complete ruin, and to impose a police state. That’s the kind of leader Cynthia McKinney admiringly calls “transformational.” On the eve of the 2002 election, which she lost, her father Billy McKinney, a State Representative, appeared on an Atlanta television and explained that his daughter’s uphill fight was because “Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-e-w-s.” Antisemitism is a family affair.

And now she apparently teaches at something called “the North South University” in Bangladesh. Unable to be hired by any American or Western university, despite being a black woman, she managed to find a place at this doubtful-sounding institution. I presume — I don’t think she’s spending much time in Dhaka — she mostly phones it in, possibly visiting the school a few times each semester, to speak on “Leadership and Change.” It’s a way for a Muslim institution, or individual Muslims, to provide for her care and feeding. She’s earned their support.

That’s enough — more than enough — about Cynthia McKinney, Ph.D. What about her new BFF David Duke, whose livestreamed appearance with black nationalist and antisemite so excited her?

Here are two of David Duke’s animadversions on the matter of race:

“Racial idealism, or racialism, is the idea that a nation’s greatest resource is the quality of its people. It means examining all questions of government on the basis of whether the proposed measure is good or bad for our race. … Neither Communism, Capitalism, nor any other materialistic doctrine can save our race; our only racial salvation lies in a White racial alliance uniting our people with the common cause of racial idealism.” — September 1970 article in The Racialist

“Are facts racist too? Are white parents racist because they don’t want their children to go to school where their children are ten times more likely to be robbed or abused, intimidated, beaten, or even killed or raped? A school where obscenity, drugs and violence and gangster rap are the dominant culture? Where sexual intimidation, obscene or crude language, or even sexual assault is pervasive? Schools that academically resemble more the third world than America? I know some of you don’t worry about the white children in those environments. It’s considered noble to concern yourself with the well being of minorities even at the farthest ends of the earth. But if you’re white, and you concern yourself with the well being of your own people, even of your own children, you’re deemed racist. The real racism today is not by white people, it’s against white people.” — “Will the White Race Survive?” June 22, 2010

This is the company Cynthia McKinney chooses to keep: the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the founder of the National Socialist White People’s Party, and then of the National Organization for European American Rights.

Like politics, the pathological condition known as antisemitism makes strange bedfellows. The black former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and the former Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke, together again at last. They deserve each other.
