Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)-Sybrina Fulton, mother of the late Trayvon Martin, endorsed Hillary Clinton for President on Monday, calling the former secretary of state the candidate best positioned to "stand up to inaction from Republicans and indifference from the NRA" on gun control.

Clinton and Fulton met in November 2015 in Chicago during the Democratic front-runner's meeting with mothers of children who died in shootings or at the hands of law enforcement. The group, according to attendees, discussed Clinton's criminal justice and gun control plans and the mothers presented the candidate with ideas on how to tackle the issue of police brutality.(snip)

"With so many of our children's lives on the line or taken, we simply can't afford to elect a Republican who refuses to even acknowledge the problem of senseless gun violence. The rising generation of our young people need a President who will stand up to inaction from Republicans and indifference from the NRA," Fulton writes in a CNN Opinion piece about the endorsement. "I believe that person is Hillary Clinton."(snip)

"In spending some time with her in person, I also found a mother and a grandmother who truly heard me, and understood the depth of my loss," writes Fulton

I’ve heard her speak when interviewed. There is no way she “wrote” that.

“With so many of our children’s lives on the line or taken, we simply can’t afford to elect a Republican who refuses to even acknowledge the problem of senseless gun violence.”

Her son died from gun violence because be chose to commit violence on an armed man. She thinks the tragedy of the situation is that her son was killed by his victim.

Let that sink in...

I wonder who wrote it for her and how much she was paid for the use of her name.
Here’s the millionth reason not to vote for her (as if we needed another reason anyway).

Trayvon Martin’s mother endorses Hillary Clinton for president

Makes sense. Sabrina was the mother to a low-life criminal.

Hillary is the wife of one.

Too bad Trayvon’s mother wasn’t as proactive when it came to raising her son with some morals. He’d probably still be alive.

Yet he will certainly vote in 2016, ...several times.

She may have copied it in cursive.
