Interviewer: Has anyone asked you about your confrontation with the Capitol police officer?

McKinney: Actually you, media, are the only ones who are asking about that.

Interviewer: I'm sure you thought about this — potentially someone might ask you about this, outside of the media, about the confrontation — what would your response be, how do you explain it to the people of DeKalb County?

McKinney: Well, actually no one has asked me other than you.

Interviewer: Do you think the incident will affect your chances for re-election?

McKinney: You're talking about the incident I'm talking about issues.

Interviewer: You want to talk about issues, has the confrontation made it harder for you to focus on the issues? Has it been a distraction?

McKinney: You're a distraction because that seems to be all you want to talk about, but people here understand that my representation is much larger than any discreet incident.

McKinney walks off the set not knowing her mike is still on and says:

• "This is crap. They lied to Coz and Coz is a fool for believing them! (Coz Carson, is her spokesman who set up the interview).

• Anything that is captured by your audio while I'm not seated in this chair is off the record and is not permissible to use — is that understood?
