George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot a black teenager three years ago, blames President Barack Obama's "racially charged comments" for turning many Americans against him.
In an interview recorded with the lawyer who worked on his 2013 divorce case, Zimmerman calls out the president's messaging following the fatal shooting.
"I think that throughout the process, the president should have done what he said he was going to do and not interject himself in a local law enforcement matter or a state matter and waited until the facts came out, instead of rushing to judgment, making racially charged comments, and pitting American against American," Zimmerman said.
The 31-year-old was asked to single out one "government agency or official" who placed "the highest level of unfairness" on the situation.
"By far, the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama. He had the most authority and in that sense I would hold him in the highest regard believing that he would hold that position and do his absolute hardest to not inflame racial tensions in America," Zimmerman replied.

While I still have my doubts about exactly how his scenario w/ Trayvon played out, George is dead on with this statement. The race-baiter in office has set back racial relations to the 1950's, IMO to start a race war so he can declare martial law. No other President would have involved himself with this or Ferguson, other than to express condolences to the families involved. Until you stop making it about color, it will never be about anything else. Try to rudely interrupt my meal, brunch or otherwise, you're likely to be getting a knuckle sandwich, LOL!
ReplyDeleteNow Zimmerman is a victim? That is one warped dude.
ReplyDeleteYes he was and was found Not Guilty. Mr obama lover.
DeleteIt looks like 1:22 and 2:00 PM never saw a snippet of the trial. I watched quite a bit, and paid attention. The finding of not guilty was completely on track, and the only possible verdict.
ReplyDeleteYou two shouldn't open your mouths and remove all doubt!
