George Zimmerman’s up to his old tricks again.
Zimmerman’s been painting a lot lately, and his most recent work of ‘art’ is a Confederate battle flag.
He’s dedicated his latest painting, which features the words “The 2nd Protects Our 1st,” to the Florida Gun Supply owner who last month banned Muslims from his shop.
“This painting was painted in honor of Andy Hallinan for being a true patriot and leading the country into a better, safer America,” said the advertisement for the painting on Hallinan’s website.
The paintings are all signed and numbered by Zimmerman, who says his art has a second meaning.
“The first flag I painted on this canvas was an American Flag, but (I) decided to repaint over it with the Confederate Flag when I heard Andy was getting sued by (the Council on American-Islamic Relations.) The 2nd flag I painted was the Battle Flag which we need in America in order to protect the first,” he said in a statement.
Zimmerman went on to say that he had become good friends with Hallinan since calling him up to express his support.
“I didn’t want to see you give up the fight simply for financial reasons,” Zimmerman said to Hallinan. “I know that you’re up against CAIR, and various organizations. CAIR is suing you. They have endless resources. They have tons of money. I just wanted to do my part.”
The money from the paintings will be split between the two men and put toward “legal funds, living expenses and advancing their mission to change the country.”
