In an interview with Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich called Obama’s remarks about Trayvon Martin “disgraceful.”

“It’s not a question of who that young man looked like. Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background,” Gingrich said. “Is the President suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot that would be ok because it didn’t look like him?” “That’s just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot,” Gingrich continued on Hannity’s show. “It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian-American of if he’d been a Native American. At some point we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American. It is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.”

    The facts of this case are not all out yet, contrary to what the media and the black elite leaders are trying to make the country believe. As the investigation progresses, the entire truth will come out.

      Remember DOJ’s Holder has given orders not to investigate any black on white or black on black crime, only while on black.
