Right-wing rock musician Ted Nugent is lashing out against Stevie Wonder for boycotting Florida over its Stand Your Ground laws.
Wonder announced that he would never perform in the Sunshine State again following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin.
“I decided today that until the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again,” Wonder told a Quebec City audience this month. “As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world.”
Zimmerman said he shot and killed Martin in self-defense, but “Stand Your Ground” was frequently cited by his defenders as justification for his actions.
Nugent, an outspoken conservative who has called Martin a “dope-smoking, racist gangsta wannabe,”was offended by Wonder’s position.
