robert zimmerman jr.ays his tweet was a mistake but meant to make a larger point about how the media portrays trayvon martin. >> i made a tweet, here are two individuals of two individuals. one accused of a crime, one in our minds who had gotten away from a crime had my brother not saved his life. trayvon martin, before he portrayed himself. things like marijuana pipes allegedly, thing we know in evidence has come out, are irrelevant. >> if you ask george zimmerman's attorney, robert did his brother no favors. listen. >> i have always said for the past year that we have to have a conversation about race, and the zimmerman case has brought to forefront particularly the way young black males are treated in the system. types of comments were these insensitive to that, and quite honestly are the opposite of what i hope the conversation would be to try and figure out what's wrong with the system and maybe a good way to fix it. the only real connection we know is that they are black and they have middle fingers

robert zimmerman jr. is here to explain this a shocking tweet he sent out a lot of people are calling racist, calling demarcus elkins, the 17-year-old, with trayvon martin. both teens making an obscene gesture. zimmerman, a picture speaks 1,000 words. any questions, unquote. robert zimmerman jr. joins me now exclusively. robert, i've spoken to you a number of times in the last year. i've read all the tweets you sent carefully. and there's no doubt they were incendiary. and i want to draw in particular attention to two of them. one is what you said here, alleged fb picks -- antonio santiago's alleged killer and trayvon martin, #uncanny. second one says, liberal media should ask if what these two black teens did to a woman and a baby is the reason people think blacks might be risky. >> right. >> now, the first one i thought was very controversial. the second one i found blatantly honest. i thought was bordering on outright racism. >> right. >> it seemed to me what you were saying was this is why young black

one of the tweets that robert zimmerman also tweeted was this. -- he also added, michael scolnik has been vocal. liberal media should ask if what these two black teens did two a woman and baby is the reason people might think blacks might be risky. what do you think about that? >> many team, robert does not represent george or the defense. not because of what he did this week but just because we've always said the defense has to have one voice and it's through my office. having said that, i'm not sure where his heart was, but i've always said to the past year that we have to have a conversation about race and the zimmerman case has brought you the forefront, particularly the way young black males are treated in the system. these type of tweets, these type of comments were insensitive to that and the opposite of what i hoped the conversation would be to try and figure out what's wrong with the system and maybe a good way to fix it. >> he tweeted eventually, i'm sincerely sorry. my tweet offended many. i made an error in the way it could convey and

robert zimmerman has been one of george zimmerman's staunchest defenders. you just talked to him.this? >> yeah, i talked to him for about 40 minutes. anyone that knows robert zimmerman and has spoken to him knows he's very passionate about his family, very, very supportive of his brother. and he said he understands the tweet may have been offensive to many. he apologizes for it. he also mentions that he understands that this is still a very sensitive topic, but what he really takes issue with is that he believes that the media has unfairly portrayed this case. he said to me that he feels that the picture of trayvon martin that we just showed was trayvon's digital signature to the world, because it was trayvon martin himself that placed that photograph out there. and that is what he says he meant by that. he seems to be extremely frustrated by the way he says the media has sort of framed the discussion. he told me that, gagain, he fees the media is not being honest about who trayvon martin was and that trayvon martin himself put that photo out there. and why is it that he can't put

jr for many americans george zimmerman the man who shot and killed trayvon martin last february is a symbol of america's deep rooted racism meet robert george's brother a series of tweets this weekend the younger zimmerman compared trayvon martin to a teenager who shot and killed a baby in atlanta last week he also slammed the liberal media for not seeing the obvious connection between martin and the atlanta shooter their race blueberry do a shoot out if what these two black teens did to a woman and baby is the reason people. blacks might be risky. unbelievable level of bigotry needed to even think of let along make such a comparison is just very very quickly. after the break the hunger games are coming to america right now americans are being left to fend for themselves and fight for the right to survive so how can we stop this travesty tell you and tonight still take. what you have no way to live. when you don't have a family. when you have no one to ask for help you can always count on. this man is respected by criminals and also it is a like field soundex conviction that it was people like he used to be. done for the homeless. on

robert zimmerman is apologizing. piers morgan told him two tweets caught his attention, this one where he compares trayvon martin to one of the two suspects in the shooting of a georgia baby. facebook pics of 13-month-old antonio santiago's alleged killer and trayvon martin, uncanny. >> this one liberal media should ask if what these two black teens did to a woman and baby is the reason people think blacks might be risky. he now admits twitter was probably not the best forum to say this type of thing. >> and i don't think twitter is the place to make points about what you recall a year ago. because the recollections i have or that we haves aa family specifically are very different than what can be portrayed in 140 characters. i realize those were controversial and offensive. i did publicly apologize for them. i don't think it was the right thing to do that way. >> the right thing to do that way. zimmerman says he was trying to make the point that the media has been dishonest in his portrayal of trayvon martin. >> com

joining me is robert zimmerman and amy cremer. >> thank you for having us. >> thanks for being here. partly a belief that fox is not doing enough on benghazi and attack on the consulate there. is there more to it, though? >> honestly, i wasn't aware of the boycott until this morning, but i think fox has covered benghazi more than anyone else. every time i turn on fox lately, it's about benghazi and so i don't know who else could possibly cover it anymore. you know, the thing is, fox is a business. they are part of a business and they are in it to make money, so maybe their business model is changing. i don't know. but i think that their coverage has been what it has always been. i don't see any difference. i'm a little upset with them because they have given karl rove this huge platform and have not given us the opportunity to debate him, but other than that, i don't really see where anything has changed. >> robert, what do you think? is this a split between the different factions in the tea party or does it mean something more? >> i don't think my conservative friends have to worry
