No, Zimmerman's head was not pounded into the concrete, no Zimmerman was not being pounded on in MMA style, these claims were reported by Fox, but no witness testified to this nonsense. These claims are false, made up, pushed by right wingers, yet and with no irony, Somerby repeats these baseless claims. Somerby has no integrity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-76047210932915608942022-03-01T07:57:24.641-05:002022-03-01T07:57:24.641-05:00Right wingers have lost the narrative with the Ukr...Right wingers have lost the narrative with the Ukraine events; right winger Trump praises right winger Putin, an obvious loon, so now rank and file right wingers just offer the weird, incoherent babble we see here.
