Allen West Accuses 'Race Baiters and Progressive Media' of Exploiting Zimmerman Decision

Former Congressman Allen West, who has opened the door to a political comeback in 2016, weighed in on the Trayvon Martin decision on Tuesday.

Yes, Trayvon Martin shooting was a tragedy which the usual suspect race baiters and progressive media are using for political gain, West wrote on Facebook on Tuesday morning. Where is the outrage for the recent killings in Chicago of a 6-month-old black baby, 16-year-old black honor student, or 17-year-old black teenager who refused to join a gang? The focus is on the symptoms which promote political gain, not the disease which now afflicts the black community. And I am tired of white liberals invoking the heinous memory of lynchings.
