But for some reason he felt that this case did. You know...because Latinos shooting unarmed teen blacks is a huge problem in our country.  |
He only ever answers when he's forced to. This situation was no different. He released a statement saying "respect the verdict" and try to duck away. How do you think this played with all of his supporters and donors.... not very fucking well I bet.
My point is that you can't call of of his press conferences bullshit then single one out as the absolute truth. He's a politician, and whether you like him or not you should respect his political abilities. If it was politically advantageous for him he would say "Trayvon Martin was a thug and deserved what he got" but that's the right wing stance so he needs to be the polar opposite.
Florida will be critical again in the next election so he's planting a flag on what will probably be a big issue for democrats.....
Oh no wait he's race baiting the entire country in order to spark social conflict in a massive covert operation to take guns away and give them to the muslim brotherhood, that makes more sense
