Chris Matthews: Trump Like George Zimmerman, Who “Killed Somebody”

Chris Matthews has taken Trump-hatred to a new level. On his MSNBC show this evening, Matthews analogized Trump to someone . . . who was charged with murder.

Said Matthews:

“Remember George Zimmerman, the stand-your-ground guy from Florida, who pulled a gun and killed somebody, in self-defense he said cause he had the right to fight anybody who approached him? And I get, that’s what the president here is doing.”

That “trick” is a retarded lie

It seems to me that that could be useful in,at least,determining a person's state of mind.If I was in Zimmerman's situation I,too,would be very happy to hear that the incident was on tape.Ditto if I was accused of a crime and had irrefutable proof that I was 500 miles away when it happened (perhaps I was in prison on that day).

OTOH,if I knew I was guilty of a crime I'd be very disappointed indeed if I learned that everything was on tape.

It was a narrative that Chris was looking for a place to insert. Did not work.

Excellent observation.

These people are psychos.

Zimmerman not only was having his head beat into the concrete by Martin, but Martin was trying to grab his gun to shoot him. If he had not shot Martin, he most likely would have been dead in seconds. Of course if the cops had not taken their sweet time arriving at the scene, nobody would have died.

Zimmerman is one-eighth black but the media was eager to frame the narrative as a white man killing an innocent black teenager.

"Zimmerman is one-eighth black but the media was eager to frame the narrative as a white man killing an innocent black teenager."

Okay, so I just checked and found out that Elizabeth Warren claims to be 1/32 Native American, which means that George Zimmerman has more black blood than Liz has Native American blood, yet she's deemed by the libs to be Native American, but George Zimmerman is called a White Hispanic. What a joke.

"How long has it been since Chrissy’s had a tingle up his leg? "

Certainly not since Franken resigned and left...

grrrr.... I run a GZ FB page that has continued on after the trial,
with the focus turned to exposing racism and countering it with positive stories.

Over and over and over again I've had to fight back against uninformed fools, often agenda driven,
that perpetuate the lie that SYG was relevant to the GZ/TM encounter or to the verdict the jurors reached.

What Matthews is saying here is a damnable lie and he is a damnable liar.

The jury found GZ not guilty based solely on self-defense.
SYG refers to having no duty to retreat.
Hard to retreat when you're being straddled and held on the ground by your attacker
while he rains blows down on you "MMA style"

Obviously, simple self defense

Thanks for the important information. I understand the frustration with statements like Matthews’.
