President Obama did not endorse the Congressional Black Caucus resolution that denounces “stand your ground” laws and declares that “racial bias” caused Trayvon Martin’s death; instead, his spokesman refused to comment.
“I don’t have a specific comment on it,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney answered when asked about the CBC resolution that calls for investigators to revisit deaths involving the ‘stand your ground’ laws. “Again, I don’t think it’s appropriate and I won’t, therefore, comment on something that’s under investigation by both the Justice Department and Florida authorities,” Carney said.
