'Zimmerman should get an apology'Experts condemn Holder's manipulation while MSNBC host praises violencePublished: 4 hours ago
The legal nightmare for George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of charges in the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin, may be over, but the racial divisions heightened by the case show no signs of fading.
In a recent speech, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry delivered an expletive-laden rant in which she expressed hope that Martin “whooped the s— out of George Zimmerman.”
Nevertheless, the Zimmerman saga ended with a whimper Tuesday when the Justice Department concluded it had “insufficient evidence” to charge him with federal civil rights violations.
He already had been acquitted of criminal charges by a Florida jury.
But Tom Fitton, president of the Washington watchdog group Judicial Watch, told WND the real outrage was that Zimmerman was investigated by the federal government at all.
“The Obama administration is interested in heightening racial tension and division,” said Fitton. “Mr. Zimmerman was found not guilty. This is an embarrassment. The amount of resources spent investigating this one man, and the racial slander that was whipped up against him, was completely unjustifiable.
“George Zimmerman ought to get an apology from the president and the attorney general.”
However, if the reaction of progressive-leaning voices is any indication, it’s more likely Zimmerman will be attacked again.
Video released by the college newspaper Cornell Review shows MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry delivering the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Lecture at Cornell on Feb. 23.
In her speech, Harris-Perry swore repeatedly, boasted about her honorarium, hurled insults against the tea party and proclaimed her wish that Martin “whooped the s— out of George Zimmerman.”
