Trayvon Martin's Mother, Sybrina Fulton, Says Hillary Clinton Inspired Her Run For Office

When Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mom, decided to run for office, she was already familiar with life on the campaign trail. She'd been out on the road with former Secretary of State and then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016. In a new interview on The Hill's "Rising" program for Hill.TV, Trayvon Martin's mom said Hillary Clinton inspired her run for office. She said it pushed her in "the right direction."

"Campaigning for Secretary Clinton made a big difference," Fulton told Hill.TV. "It kind of planted the seed for me, but I still wasn't ready until I prayed on it, and it took almost a year in order for me to decide to run."

Fulton didn't make the decision lightly. "I did my research and decided, you know, what seat I fit best for and what position and how I feel like I can make change in my very own community," she told Hill.TV. Fulton is running for one of the five open spots on the 13-member Miami-Dade County Commission. She announced her campaign in May. "Since 2012, I have advocated tirelessly to empower our communities and make them safer," she said in a statement announcing her candidacy. "But the work is not done. I am proud to announce that I will run to represent District 1 on the county commission."

Ms. Hilary told her she’d give her a Unicorn that shits Skittles and pees Arizona Iced Tea.

Of course, Hillary Clinton inspired her, they are both conniving chiselers and grifters.

What would have happened if she paid as much attention to Trayvon?

When posting any pix the individuals in it should be identified. The following is a posting from my website

The leadership of the so called political opposition (Republican) will wonder why as they lose a crucial election because of their inability to stand on principles. When Presidential actions should have been denounced and the police defended. The only person to courageously do so was Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and has because he did, is black, Clarke has received the “Uncle Tom” treatment

Clarke decried Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” to create racial division which wound up using other similar incidents such as Ferguson MO and NYC.. Where Obama supported by the media would defend the attacker resisting arrest killed in the struggle over a law officers gun. Falsely claiming the attacker was an “unarmed victim” of police brutality because he was black. Subsequently. There were continuous attacks on police ending up in a score of deaths.

It Began when Obama used a non descriptive incident known as The Zimmerman trial and encouraged racial division through his twice use of the “Bully Pulpit”

. Obama defended the black attacker who was killed (a 17 year old 5’11 175 pound Trayvon Martin) by a 40 something year old 5’6” black Hispanic (Jorge Zimmerman) working security in an integrated housing complex that was attacked by Martin knocking Zimmerman to the ground and the black youth was killed in a struggle over Zimmerman’s gun.

The media portrayed the incident as Martin was an innocent black youth murdered in cold blood because he was black and the guard as a white Hispanic guarding an exclusive white “gated”community .

Obama used the incident to declare Martin was a victim of whites who could have been; First his son, then Obama himself.

When that inflammatory defense was picked by black gangs also wound up and was used as an excuse to commit a score of racial assaults ending in deaths and serious injuries.

All the while this was happening in various areas of the country Such as the murder of an Australian visitor from Melbourne Christopher Lane killed while exercising on a Duncan Oklahoma street by members of the black gang known as the Crypts.

Such assaults were described by the press as “black youths with nothing better to do” although there were some racial attacks that were excused by the members as “for Trayvon” but met by stony silence from the democrats or denial from MSM because it was dismissed as a Obama miss-speak. As if he didn’t rely on a teleprompter for carefully prepared text checked out by or have advisers giving him the facts.

Shamefully members of the opposition so called Republicans chose not to condemn this but convenient to ignore. Thus demonstrate they are politically dysfunctional. Unwilling to work with or even recognize legitimate concerns from what they call the tea party who in reality are the Reagan voters of 2016 and unable to congeal into a unified working political unit. They did not learn from 2012,2014 and some continue to blow off 2016.

Looks to me like the majority of Sybrina Fulton’s running has been confined to making sure she got the last biscuit.
