Florida Gov. Rick Scott: We shouldn't turn Zimmerman verdict into politics
Fox News ^ | 7/15/2013 | Stuart Varney (interview)

Posted on 07/16/2013 12:52:07 PM PDT by kevcol

VARNEY: Now, back in March of 2012, right after the event, the president made a statement -- went in front of the cameras and made a statement about the Trayvon Martin case -- and right after the verdict was delivered, he made another statement which I will quote from in a moment.

But, first, do you think that the president inserted himself into the judicial system? Because that has been the subject of some criticism.

SCOTT: Sure. I don't know if he did or didn't. What I just think about is, I think about the family, I think about the fact we have a jury system and I'm appreciative of that. Those six women jurors, that was a tough trial. They deliberated. It's hard. Angela Corey, a very tough prosecutor.

VARNEY: She is being criticized heavily.

SCOTT: But she is a tough prosecutor, one of the toughest in the nation.

VARNEY: Did she overcharge?

SCOTT: Oh, I don't know, but she's a tough prosecutor.

I don’t know if the Florida constitution provides for the recall of a governor, but if it does I would certainly sign it, if only to send a message.

Or if he would said I been had and apologized to Zimmerman. And in the event Zimmerman had been convicted, pardon him. But he did not and will not. So I did, but I won’t again.

Wow, I watched that video and that guy just plain creeped me out! He's either a closet bisexual (it's in the eyes) or a spineless creepy freak!

He's a spineless Rep. weasel who passed the buck when he appointed another PA after the Sanford PA found no evidence to charge Zimmerman.

Everything about him is about maintaining his job while passing all decision making on to others who would ultimately take the fall..........

“Scott started this train rolling because of politics now he doesn’t know anything.”

He’s just a member of the Barak Obama School of Politics. Their mentor is Sgt. Schultz from “Hogan’s Heroes.” Who made “I know nothing” the highpoint of political discourse, even though he’s been dead for years. RIP John Banner!

Scott needs to admit that his efforts to have a Show Trial were misguided and against the rule of law.

Scott is a typical GOP loser. He is going to get his hat handed to him in the election.

Being a Floridan...I cannot say how disappointed I am in Gov. Scott and Pam Bondi...

Both could have stopped this farce way before it become the joke it is...

What a gutless, feckless, spineless interview...

These ****** will never get my vote again...

My question I would have for the Governor, what will you do to protect an innocent man from hate filled groups who have sworn to kill him and his family?

Of course, I already know the answer, ‘We can’t do anything until after he or his family has been assaulted or killed’.

Then, depending what the color of their skin is, they will get right on it.

Corey is an embarrassing liberal tool. She should be disbarred for political pandering outside the law, overstepping the law by withholding evidence from defense discovery.

Being petty--she should also get a new hairstyle more suited to her age.
