Joe Oliver: An opportunist or a friend?
 |
| Joe Oliver is the self appointed spokesperson for George Zimmerman. |
Joe Oliver came out as George Zimmerman's good friend. He talked about how Zimmerman cried uncontrollably, showed tremendous remorse, and was all cut up in the face. Oliver said George wouldn't have done anything with racial animus because he's not a racist. He said he's known George for six years.
But...there's a strange thing about how time shines the light on truth. Not only has this man not seen George Zimmerman, now he says he's not a close friend of George, but more like an "uncle". Oliver also says he is going off of a gut-feeling, more than actual knowledge. Well...that was when he appeared on The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. Now, he says he's something like an acquaintance, but he has known George long enough to know he would risk his life for him. (I don't know about you, but I'm not risking my life for a "play uncle-acquaintance", but that's just me.)
Oliver also said he had left his job because of fear of his safety and veiled threats he had received. But now he said he went to work on Monday.
I knew when that fella showed up, that he was working as PR and nothing more than that. As journalist Charles Blow told him on The Last Word "You don't know George Zimmerman."
This morning he stated that he wanted to avail himself to the Zimmerman family because of his media experience. What? So you want them to hire you as PR.
In an update from the Sanford Police Department, the lead investigator on the case wanted to arrest Zimmerman.
