George Zimmerman Sues Warren and Buttigieg Over Their Tweets
George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, is suing two Democratic presidential candidates over their incendiary tweets about the movement that grew out of his case.
The infamous Florida man was charged with murder after he engaged in an altercation with the seventeen-year-old Martin, and ended up shooting him and killing him in 2012.
Zimmerman was acquitted for the murder of Martin in 2013, but activists have hounded him and made the case into a social justice cause. . .
Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today.
How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?#BlackLivesMatter

My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today.
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. https://t.co/9lXXlRnvzL

“We need to end gun violence and racism,” she added. “And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free.”
The lawsuit accused the politicians of tweeting simply “for political gain in misguided and malicious attempts to bolster their standings amongst African-American voters, all at Zimmerman’s expense.”
