George Zimmerman Sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren For Defamation Over Malicious Tweets
WND -- A lawyer for George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot teen Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012 and was acquitted of all charges, has sued Democrat presidential hopefuls Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren.
The claim alleges the two "maliciously defamed" Zimmerman, using Martin's death "as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers."
Lawyer Larry Klayman filed the action in Circuit Court for the 10th Judicial Circuit in Polk County, Florida.
"The obvious intent of Buttigieg and Warren's Tweets is alleged race-baiting, in an attempt to draw African American votes during this Democrat presidential primary season," Klayman's announcement said.
