“I never foresaw so much hate coming from the president, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP. Every organization imaginable is trying to get notoriety or profit from this in some way,” Robert Zimmerman told WOFL. “But there’s so much hate that I have never been involved in hate and George hasn’t. It’s really unbelievable.”
Robert Zimmerman said his son, who is Hispanic, is not racist and race had nothing to do with the incident.
“He would do anything to help anybody at any time. He’s colorblind when it comes to any race,” Robert Zimmerman said.
