The full audio of Green presidential nominee Cynthia McKinney’s six-minute interview with NPR’s Weekend Edition can be heard here. McKinney said in part, “The Green Party has been very conveniently put into a box. And it’s convenient for the other political parties to say, ‘Oh, well, you know, they’re just that environment party.’ Yes, the Green Party is committed to a healthy environment. But the Green Party is not solely committed to just that. In fact, the policy prescriptions that the Green Party advocates are based on four pillars. Those pillars include not only ecological wisdom but also peace, social justice and grassroots democracy. And you could see the Green Party actually living out those pillars when they consistently did not support the war, consistently supported those who had an anti-war record.”
