Things between Rep. Cynthina Mc.Kinney, and her House Democrats, have become so strained, the her and House leader Nancy Pelosi no longer talk to each other, causing many of the Democratic side to say she has become a huge distraction.
Some Dems, speaking on the cloak of anonymity say that Mc.Kinney is not representing herself well, and wish she would drop the "race baiting" she is well known for.
Says one moderate Democrat, "There has been a lot of eye rolling. The national attention it's getting is very unfortunate and highly distracting" He added, "This isn't the view Democrats want to project in the tough races, one of the victims and race baiting".
One Of Mc.Kinney's aides, Coz Carson, came to her defense saying that she has always been outspoken, and will continue to be a force about issues of race, and will defend herself against these baseless assaults on her character.
