Rep. Bobby Rush Explains Hoodie Incident to The Blaze: Martin Killed for Wearing Hoodie in ‘White
The Blaze ^ | March 28, 2012 | Benny Johnson

In an exclusive interview with The Blaze, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) explains what motivated him to break House rules and put on a hoodie during a chaotic speech on Tuesday. It was a speech that eventually led to him getting yanked from the podium.

When asked on Tuesday afternoon why he wore the hoodie on the House floor, he responded, “To demonstrate my outrage of Trayvon Martin’s Murder.”

“The reason he was killed was because he was a black man wearing a hoodie in a white neighborhood,” he added.

So Martin was killed by a Jewish-Hispanic Puerto Rican son of a liberal judge because he was black?

He was evidently killed because he assaulted a neighborhood watchman. The neighborhood watchman wasn’t killed because he was armed, and got off a shot before losing consciousness.

He was killed because he attacked the wrong man.

TM was "murdered" for slamming GZ's head against the sidewalk. GZ was too culturally ignorant that he didn't realize that this was a friendly greeting.

Democrats are quick to use the word "murder"--Hillary did the same thing a few years ago when some NY cops were on trial for shooting an African immigrant who turned out to be unarmed (but who appeared to be reaching for a weapon).

Wrong dipwad. He was killed because he attacked a man who had a gun and protected himself with it, Bobby Rush is black so he just follows the lines laid down for him by Jesse and Al.

He isn’t smart enough to think for himelf.He just does whatever the CBC tell him to do.

Hey Rush,you racist a-hole, what was 13 year old Allen Coon wearing when he was doused with gasoline and set on fire by 2 Sons of Obama earlier this month in Kansas City? How come we haven’t seen this story covered wall to wall on the State Run Media?

I just saw Bobby Rush interviewed on CNN. How did someone that is completely illiterate make it to Congress?

Tell me about it. I transcribe congressional hearings and it is painful to type his gibberish. A close runner up is Conyers and Boxer.

Obama: "If I had a son, he'd look just like Bobby Rush".

He was the cream of the crop for that legislative district. Also, don't forget he's the only person to ever beat Barak Obama in an election. When you figure that out, get back to me...

You may have inadvertently named the civilian army intended to create disorder this summer.

These “people” don’t care about facts. It was not a gated neighborhood and mixed race not white.

I heard he is trademarking that look.

I blame George Lucas/Star Wars trilogy for the whole hoodie thing. Or maybe we should blame the Franciscan monks.
