Trayvon Martin, the 17 year-old who was chased and shot by a trigger-happy neighborhood watchman for merely wearing a hoody, has been in the news a lot recently. Even Obama expressed his disgust, “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids…If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon.”
Even so, Obama’s comments have been criticized by conservatives running for office. Unlike, Newt Gingrich, I don’t find anything “disgraceful” in this clip, do you?
Newt Gigrich’s Comments
When asked about Obama’s statement Newt replied that the remarks were “racially dividing.” However, I’m not even sure the guy even saw the news clip. It doesn’t make sense. No one can be that ignorant to sympathy…or can they?
