Lately, there's been no shortage of curious commentary coming from former Georgia congresswoman and 2008 Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney.
During her recent exploits to nations that are less-than-friendly to the United States, McKinney has claimed that JFK, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated by the U.S. government, she has called Libya a better place to live than the United States (because of its free education) and has generally lamented American governance.
But, as McKinney travels to Iran, Libya and other nations that stand firmly opposed to American interests, one wonders: Who's funding these expensive expeditions?
Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" decided to tackle this important question, so producer Jesse Watters tracked McKinney and her associates down and asked where the monies were coming from.
