George Zimmerman wants a day in court against two of the leading Democratic presidential contenders, accusing them of defamation.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Florida, the man who killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense in 2012 accused Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of "maliciously defam[ing]" Mr. Zimmerman, using the killing "as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers."

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," Zimmerman attorney Larry Klayman said in an announcement of the lawsuit, according to WorldNetDaily.

The suit was filed in the Circuit Court for the 10th Judicial Circuit in Polk County, Florida.It accuses Ms. Warren and Mr. Buttigieg of actual malice, a prerequisite to win a libel case if one is a public figure.

"Both defendants, Buttigieg and Warren, 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," the announcement said.The tweets in question both said Martin was killed because of "racism" or "white supremacy."

"Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today. How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear?" Mr. Buttigieg tweeted.

Ms. Warren wrote: "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."

Why are so many "heroes" of the left criminals?

The demand the Left has for racism exceeds the supply.

I kept thinking the same thing during that whole Ferguson thing.

Says something about the audience they're playing to.


I live in Orlando approximately 30 miles from the courthouse of the trial. Many things came out that didn't make it to court. Perhaps Buttigieg and Warren should have a couple staffers do some background investigation before anymore comments. If Ms. Warrens had called him a black boy to his face, I'm not sure she would have walked away.

Wow, Zimmerman is a Hispanic white supremacist! Who knew!!

Wow, Zimmerman is a Hispanic white supremacist! Who knew!!

NBC new when that whole Trayvon thing happened.  They coined the phrase "White Hispanic", and as we've all come to learn, thanks to the left, White is synonymous racist.

You remember when NBC doctored video and purposefully omitted pictures of his bloodied face and the gashes in the back of head from it being pounded into the ground, right?

Ah, good ole honest reporting of NBC.  Getting right since........... not in the last 30 years.
