The American Indian had no reason to be there it was sweet to me the Catholic young kids and those black activists who were twins in them so stop blaming the young kid and

High school student did nothing wrong, NOTHING.

The aggressor were the adults but since they were 'minorities' they are not responsible for their own actions. This is not who we are!

We ARE SICK of your constant FakeNews & we are going to start fighting back‼️

Covington parents are paying big tuition to have such a crop of little thugs as the product. Their college and job apps will need to have an explanation of how they didn’t participate in this, don’t harass young women, don’t where black face...

The Hebrew Israelites are another little hate cult, along the lines of Westboro Baptist Church. Why anyone gave them the attention they so desperately crave, is hard to understand.

Anybody wearing a MAGA hat deserves whatever storm comes their way.

Great Kids. They behaved better than the adults.

Because the MSM including your rag lied to the public... again.

It’s even insulting to stand in front of an elder and look at them like that

The video shows & witnesses confirmed that the parade marchers were taunting the onlookers including the students.The “tribal elder”was literally beating his drum in the faces of onlookers along the parade route to get a reaction. No wonder nobody believes the news media anymore.

I've looked at several videos & photos of what happened. And one thing is clear, these Native Americans were surrounded by hate. The teens were not intimidated or scared, nor were the African Americans. Disrespect & insults were overflowing, but Mr. Phillips didn't deserve it!

A tribal elder and a high school junior stood face to face, THE MEDIA LIED, and the world reacted

covington catholic future pedophile(s) MAGA

It's DONE ALREADY🙄 MOVE ON👋👋👋👋

I hope you get sued!

Wonder how much those high schools students know about the U.S. history, especially about Native Americans?

If his intent was to defuse the situation, why not just walk away?

The Washington Post needs to issue an apology for their pathetic job of reporting this incident. I guess Real journalism is a rare thing today!

Only because of a lie!!

An misinformed world acted! Have you no shame sir?

a child smiled and the msm held him up (without facts) to be crucified. wapo included. istandwithcovingtonkids

The Covington Kids were being confronted by professional protestors and agitators. They kids did well under the circumstances.

Blame the chaperones!!

Reacted poorly

People lied and the media bought it again. Get back to reporting facts!!!!

HE IS AN ACTOR AND POLITICAL ACTIVIST...ANOTHER DEMOCRAT MANUFACTURED EVENT TO CAUSE A FAKE RACISM EVENT AROUND MLK...DUH...THE OLD DEMOCRAT FAKE EVENT RIGHT OUT OF THE DEMOCRAT PLAYBOOK...

Negatively I might add! You people are shameful!

back off catholic we see nothing

Actual story: a racist adult professional agitator got in the face of a teenaged boy.

And the liberals overreacted while jumping to show their TDS what’s up with the hateful Black Hebrew Israelites?

Rashomon2019

Still spreading this BS, are ya? Good lord, can't you people tell the truth ever?

Tribal elder my arse. Nathan Phillips is a Leftist rabble rouser with a very forked tongue who very probably lied about his alleged 'Vietnam service'. You profoundly insult the Omaha Tribe by dignifying that hateful liar as a 'tribal elder'.

An elder, who is a communist, and criminal.

Tribal elder and a little nazi

WashPo printed lies.

I’m looking at a future Justice of the US Supreme Court 😢

You mean tribal elder got aggressive with under age boys that were minding their own business. WP once again has egg on face for more fake news.

Hope you wapo and other fake news go bankrupt soon...

They keep tweeting this same article just like the rest of MSM. It’s to continue the divide amongst Americans

A mob of teenage MAGAts harassing others, too. CovingtonBoys CovingtonCatholic

Fact Check: Staring Down the Smug Face of American Violence - First hand account (Indigenous Peoples' March)

You mean overreacted!

The world reacted to fake news ! Washington Post is a part of that.

America at its finest. BTW, when was America great? I have difficulty finding that minute.

I would like to know what a primatologist like Jane Goodall JaneGoodallInst wpuld say about the body language in this video.

Trump is not making America great. He is making America hate. ImpeachTrump

I never did this as a “high school junior”.

A Tribal Leader or working for a political operative ? This is ugly beyond belief! Native American rights are important, but not by this phony 'Leader' ?

And WAPO joined in the libel

And the media was complicit in the whole thing! No wonder the media is hated and referred to as fake, liars and worse! You are those things and more!

The World needs to watch the one hour and 46 minutes YouTube video of entire afternoon event before speaking or believing media. Amazing when unedited real shows up to the fantasy version.

And they acted like morons. Even the 16 year old acted more mature than the 'world'. And after the world reacted, they all deleted posts and apologized be being morons....

Nice cutting off the MAGA hat in the photo. Omit much?

You mean the fake Vietnam veteran. And a high school junior.

VIDEO: Covington Catholic High students in blackface at past basketball game

And the media lied.

Paid actor folks look the foolish left Indian up. He’s got a problem.

The tribal leader is a Activist. He’s did this kind of thing before.

Admit you got it wrong. Say it in the headline! Apologize profusely and don’t do it again.

The video shows a tribal elder who lied about Vietnam service, lied about what happened the first time, lied about what happened the second time, and if fact did go get in the face of a KID, and beat a freaking drum in his face.

Oh, so now the Washington Post is going to try & seem unbiased about this after they ran like crazy with the false narrative. You really do suck. The sheep on the left believe all this crap you spew out; they're really that stupid.

A bully and a child stood face to face, and the world sided with the bully.

Guy is clearly drunk

Trial actor tried to intimidate a 15 year old

A sixteen year old boy stood still and silent for several minutes with a smirk on his face and somehow publications like you have managed to attach a thousand labels and words to it, a non-story. You've taken our society to a place of mass-delusion and psychosis, it's pure evil.

This is corroborated by snopes too. Although snopes closes their article with bias (no surprise)

Too bad the teen did not demonstrate respect for the elderly man by removing his hat and standing with the elder side by side against hatred and racism.

The Story is the WP is a pack of Radical Leftist, willing to say anything to get Trump.

So that’s the best headline u can come up with How about,, Racist gang of white school teens ganged up at NativeAmericans war veteran..

The media is the enemy of the people.

And now for the rest of the story

It's really neat the way you've attracted every scumbag on Twitter in such a short amount of time with this,

No mention of the other ignorant group shouting racist comments, terrible reporting

Maga brat stood in his path as he approached... arrogant racist... look at the smirk.... this is not a kind act.... check out the schools history of racism.

The world ? Only US media is infighting among themselves . No one else cares. My guess is that the anti Trump media is trying to distract from buzzfeed scandal

I don't believe him

America is sick. There is a malaise that exists in this nation. I voted for Reagan. I admired him because he called America a city on a shining hill. A beacon of hope for everyone! He embraced inclusion and spoke articulate rhetoric. Now we have 💩.

Still trying to hold on

It also proves without any doubt that 'the tribal elder' lied about this situation. Shame on you for your rushing to print on this.

He's a political activist. The Post lost on this story.

It’s gonna be really sad when the label “Generation Trump” is shouted and it sticks. The influence of the young is powerful and hard to reverse. The stigma is harder to reverse. It takes one image to define a generation.

I hope the Children from this incident SUE the Entire Media Network and ALL CELEBRiTies that destroyed these boys.

bs. If it had been women the leftist March jumping up and down to his drum you would have said they were honoring him.

No, a bunch of Journos reacted.

You mean Nathan Phillips who is a paid activist who was also in the middle of the Dakota pipeline protest just to name one other.

and the media tried to gaslight

That nasty 'native' approached the CHILD and almost assaulted the CHILD while these crazy b!* people hurled incendiary racial epithets at these children and egged-on the nasty 'native.' Gee WaPo, you're nothing but FakeNews .

No, idiotic journos reacted while sane people wondered 'when did journalism die?'

This is like Nero philosophically blogging about Rome burning

If only... we ALL respect each other...it's really that easy!

Reacted rather badly i say.

And the Adult should have known better.

And the media overreacted. And wondered, one day after flubbing the Buzzfeed story, why their reputation is so poor among those who don’t share their biases.

I think it's great that kids are getting involved in politics. Unlike the parkland kids, these CovingtonCatholic patriots believe in real issues like maintaining the white majority MAGA MLKDay

Liberals sided with the elder, the one banging a drum in the high school kids face

“Hostile natives!”

He smiled. :)

how can you still have that description under your picture after knowing its simply not true. No one mocked native americans. Kids were harrased,insulted, and then threated with violence after, by insane far leftest.

Where is Elizabeth Warren on this? Pocahontas should bring the peace pipe.

A con man lied and major media institutions perpetrated the lie.

And the fake news media completely overreacted and automatically blamed the wrong side.

You guys are like RELIGIOUSLY committed to digging this hole, aren’t you 😂😂😂

It’s not big deal 🤷🏻‍♀️

OMG You guys are way too far behind on pushing out the lies of the left. This lie has already been debunked. Get with the flow or WaPo is going tyo fall to the second place spot of being FakeNews behindCNN. SMH Nothing but liars

I think everyone needs to address what MAGA hats symbolize to millions of Americans

Oh lord. Can we drop this?

You mean it ended up being a total non-story that the enemy of the people butchered again?

Really? That’s the heading you want to go with? 🤔 on MLK day? Oh oh oh 😮 okay 👌🏽

CovingtonHighSchool legacy

You mean overreacted.

Mostly in a foolish way....

Patriots beat the Chiefs

Yes Mr. Phillips approaching the students with an enterouge yelling profanities and starting a confrontation with a kid, IS very aggressive and Very Frightening Check out bennyjohnson’s Tweet:
