George Zimmerman Suing Mayor Pete
George Zimmerman, the man who famously shot Trayvon Martin in 2012, is suing presidential candidates Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren for defamation and malice.
 |
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, argues that Buttigieg and Warren portrayed Zimmerman as a “white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”
Buttigieg and Warren both posted messages this week honoring what would have been Martin’s 25th birthday.
“How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?” wrote Buttigieg.
“We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children – especially young Black boys – can grow up safe and free,” wrote Warren.
Zimmerman was working as a security guard for a gated community in Sanford, Florida when he fatally shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense. The incident was widely portrayed as a hate crime because the shooter was white and armed and the victim was black and unarmed.
“The obvious intent of Buttigieg and Warren’s tweets is alleged race baiting, in an attempt to draw African American votes during this Democrat presidential primary season,” argues Zimmerman’s attorney, Larry Klayman. “Both defendants…are alleged in the complaint to have acted with actual malice, as it is widely known that Zimmerman was acquitted of murder based on self-defense.”
As noted in the suit, Buttigieg and Warren have both struggled to gain support from black voters.
“It is high time that the cheap and harmful use of the race card by politicians of all stripes be made to cease and desist,” continues Klayman. “Their despicable ‘race tactics’ are not only causing great harm to persons such as my client…but also are damaging relations between black and white Americans who are all brothers.”
Zimmerman’s lawsuit seeks $265 million for the “loss of good will and reputation.”
Author’s Note: Larry Klayman used to be known as the crazy guy who sued everybody (we’re talking hundreds of lawsuits). Then he started winning lawsuits and now everyone is scared of him. We can expect Zimmerman to get a handsome settlement for this.
Bill, I hope you were pointing out the hypocrisy of the candidates that are pandering to a specific set of humans race. Tragically a young man lost his life. I enjoy listening to the rhetoric that spews from their mouth‘s. Their positions change from speech to speech depending on the physical location and ethnicity of the target group. agenda how many times do you need to kiss your headband on tv. Personally it disgusts me but my God did not put me here to judge your lack of morals. He will be on his knees when he is in front of our Father and will answer then. Be ready to defend this country in and after November. I believe a physical confrontation will take place.i and my wife are ready to defend our President and yours the honorable Donald Trump. High speed low drag.
they will start it. Patriots in America (not Amerika) will clean it up. I HAVE A DREAM
Sadly I believe your completely correct, unfathomable 30 years ago but not now
The “young man “ brought it on himself
The Dimowits are so desperate they will say or do anything if they think it will help them. Lying is no problem for them.
neither is stealing (socialism)

Yes, I caught the misspelling of the word sheer as well shere is not even a word.
Being that it is clear whomever wrote the article or even more of a transgression the editor did not see fit to have the article proofread before release it a given that there are probably other spelling errors as well.
It is in what was said and not how it was said.

A punk and a thug is what Trayvon Martin was.
Buttigieg and Warren are both classic examples of politicians playing the race card to try and influence people to vote for them. Both of these idiots are losers. They are losers because they maliciously portrayed Zimmerman as a White Supremist which I have not seen as having any proof. They are also losers because they pit one race against the other intentionally. There are problems in this country with racism, but it comes from more than just whites. Blacks are just as racist as whites, and like whites, and other groups, blacks, and many times, hide behind their racism, by playing the victim card. Racism cannot be tolerated from any group toward another and we all need to work together to solve cultural differences. Whites will never be like blacks because of differences in history and culture, but willingness and working together can help us understand black culture and it’s values to America.. Blacks will never be like whites for the same reason. Trying to change history, or denying there were racial problems is not the answer, anymore than two left wing Democrats, doing all they can, to divide us more. But, what do you expect from democrats? They want to divide and destroy this country and as usual, Democrats want to make everything “Black -vs- White”. It is time we stop “verbally slapping” each other for political reasons. The democrats have abused the black vote for years by not following through on political promises. Republicans have abused the black vote by not trying harder to include blacks into their party. Both Democrats and Republicans should beware, Constitutional Conservatives will not stand for any form of racism or support any politician that lies and distorts truth to separate races in this country. God Bless America.
What a bunch of bullshit-both the article and the replies. Zimmerman was not a security guard in the gated community, he was a volunteer who was told to stand down before he shot an unarmed black kid. He is an idiot that should never have been allowed to have a gun or play cop. And yes, I will take any or all of you dimwits on with the bet, this will definitely be thrown out of court. The stupidity of the majority of people that read your crap amazes me..
Troll alert…it’s Mike again spewing the Party Line. Just like the President, Zimmerman was #Acquitted Forever.
