AFL-CIO Executive Blames Conservatives for Trayvon Martin’s Shooting Death (Video)

AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker blamed “conservative, right-wing policies” for Trayvon Martin‘s death.

The DC reported:

AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker told The Daily Caller that it is “conservative, right-wing policies that are to blame” for Trayvon Martin‘s death.

Martin was a black teenager shot and killed by an Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer. The shooting, and the police department’s decision to not arrest the suspect, George Zimmerman, has caused an uproar in Florida and across the country. (RELATED: Full coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting)

“The same folks who want to kill workers’ rights in the work place are the same folks who want to kill voters’ votes … and now they are literally supporting legislation that is literally killing our children.”

Baker told TheDC that conservative policies, like Florida’s “stand your ground” law — which states that an individual has the right to defend himself if he feels that his life is in imminent danger — are to blame.

George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon, is a registered Democrat.
