What was that about MAGA country

@GunSmoke9 I didn’t take it that seriously, but you were vigorously defending someone who was being called a Nazi earlier. But regarding Sharpton, he didn’t make up the Tawana Brawley story, he just believed her. Wasn’t that over 30 years ago now ? About the same time Donald Trump took out that ad suggesting that the young men tried for the assault on the Central Park Jogger be lynched ? Do you know that even though DNA exonerated them, Trump has never taken that back ? At least Brawley had to pay the men she accused.

@bijouxbroussard You didn't take it seriously, then why did you post it? So I defended someone who was called a Nazi, really? Since most Trump haters like to call Trump supporters Nazi, doesn't mean I support Nazis. What did I say to who?
No matter how the Tawana Brawley came to be, Sharpton ran with it. No investigation by him, no evidence. Just a loud mouth that wanted to stir up racial tension. Don't know if either ever paid.
@GunSmoke9 Sharpton defended a woman who made what turned out to be a false claim. That was [b]not[/b] his fault. He also later got Trayvon Martin’s parents information the local police had withheld for 42 days after his murder. I think it’s admirable that he’s stood up for those who would otherwise be voiceless. [b]You[/b], on the other hand, support a loud mouth who tried to stir up racial tension with no evidence (calling for the lynchings of men who were proven innocent by DNA, insisting Obama was foreign born, as well as claiming he spied on him) makes libelous claims against people regularly—and Trump has the nerve to want to sue SNL ? 😳
And [b]yes[/b], Tawana Brawley had to pay damages. You can google it.
Unlike George Zimmerman, who got to claim he was assaulted, kill the person, and go free.

@bijouxbroussard It was Sharpton's fault for going to the press blaming a white cop with no proof. Had to pay and actually paying are different. What's your spin on Al Sharpton and his white interlopers comment? Did you watch the Trayvon trail? I did. No way was it murder, like the jury said. Did Zimmerman bang his own head into the concrete? I watch the trail with an open mind. It's clear you didn't. Because Martin is black it has to be murder, right?
Like I said before I don't agree with Trump on everything, how he needs to think before speaking.
@GunSmoke9 You bet I followed it, and was glad Sharpton got involved. George Zimmerman called 911, told them he was following someone, and didn’t [b]get back in his car when they TOLD him to leave it alone and let THEM handle things[/b]. And if the police hadn’t stalled Martin’s parents, Sharpton probably wouldn’t have known, and Zimmerman wouldn’t even have been tried. And because Trayvon was black, people like [b]you[/b] believed Zimmerman and dismissed him as a “thug”, in spite of the facts. If Trayvon had been white, you’d probably have assumed he tried to defend himself against some strange man following him. Were you one of the folks who sent money to fund Zimmerman’s defense ?

@bijouxbroussard You watched it and still think it was murder? You believe what you want, I said I had an open mind. Zimmerman should of listened to the cops, and Martin should of kept walking. It was Martin who physically attacked Zimmerman, banging his head into concrete, and trying to get his gun. Has the evidence shows. Even the prosecution was making the case for the defense. But with a closed mind like yours it's hard to see the truth.
@GunSmoke9 Like I said, the only person left alive was Zimmerman, and of course he claimed self-defense after the fact, even though he the encounter. And the racists believed him, of course, even sending money for his defense. Jurors said they regretted the verdict in the face of Zimmerman’s subsequent behavior after he was acquitted.

@bijouxbroussard The jury looked at the facts, evidence and acquitted him. What Zimmerman did after the trial doesn't mean a thing. Why should it? He claimed self defense because it was. Martin was banging Zimmerman's head into concrete and trying to get his gun. You seem to forget that.
