This story is simply astonishing. The wrong visited on the kids involved is disgusting. This is the future of the liberal media- destroy you and pile on before the facts come out even if you’re a kid. BuzzFeed does it again:
A Kentucky Catholic school may take disciplinary action against their students after a group of the MAGA hat–wearing teenage boys taunted a Native American elder at the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, DC, on Friday.
Several viral videos show the young men, nearly all of whom are white and wearing pro-Trump gear, chanting at and mocking the man on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
One of the teens can be seen standing face-to-face with the elder, smirking and saying nothing, while the man sings and beats a drum.
The indigenous protester was identified by Indian Country Today as Nathan Phillips, a member of the Omaha Nation and a Vietnam War veteran. He reportedly hosts a ceremony each year honoring Native American veterans at Arlington National Cemetery and is also the keeper of a sacred pipe.
The NY Times jumps in
They were Catholic high school students who came to Washington on a field trip to rally at the March for Life.
He was a Native American veteran of the Vietnam War who was there to raise awareness at the Indigenous Peoples March. https://t.co/W2UrvWggx9

Maggie the Hack Haberman piles on without bothering to vet the story:
There are dozens of students laughing and egging on the behavior. Will be interesting to see if anyone is actually expelled, as officials suggest is possible https://t.co/l7kjDOxiS7

There’s a problem. It’s a complete lie. A despicable lie. Watch as Phillips approaches and harasses the kids

Phillips told the Washington Post Saturday that he had been singing an American Indian Movement song that serves as a ceremony to send the spirits home when he noticed that tensions started to escalate.
“It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial,’” Phillips told the paper. But after one of the teens wearing a MAGA hat stood in his way, he said, he continued to drum and sing.
“I felt like the spirit was talking through me,” Phillips said.
This is bullsh*t. The video clearly shows that Phillips was the aggressor and went after the kids. Seen on Twitter:
Here is a letter written by one of the kids

We now have a 2 hour raw recording of the MAGA kids incident. We can see: No chanting "build the wall", Native group approaches about an hour after the kids were already there, "Black Activists" are yelling Fa**ot https://t.co/Af71rJkaqd

Want to see the real bigots? They are the Black Hebrew Israelites
I feel so bad for these kids that are being doxxed. The media is ruining their lives in order to further their own narrative, it's disgusting. The real bigots were harassing them, throwing racist insults and telling white ppl to go back to Europe. The left is unhinged.
— DayLahRoza (@DaY_LaH_) January 20, 2019
And yes, the kids are being doxxed. High school kids. Kids who have done nothing wrong. Nathan Phillips antagonized those kids. He got in their faces and tried to intimidate them. He put that drum in their faces.
Then he lied about it. Oh, by the way
Oh the #CovingtonCatholic "victim" is from the occupy movement….https://t.co/6fqelus8Lp pic.twitter.com/LQcBgoG6ec

Phillips has a history.
These kids are guilty of nothing more than wearing MAGA hats.
You’d think that the liberal media, coming right off the Cohen embarrassment, would actually vet a story before condemning anyone, let alone some innocent kids.
You’d be wrong. They wanted this story to be true.
What we are seeing is the future of the left wing media. It will be singling out Trump supporters and attempt to destroy them, facts be damned. You might wonder why the media failed to report the harassment of the kids by the Black Hebrew Israelites, who were calling the kids “faggots.”
I don’t. The liberal media is disgusting.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
@Greg:
well greggie, when I went into military service in 1957, my physical was done by a genuine US military physician. I’m sure if I had bone spurs or some other disqualifying medical problem, he would say so. I’m also quite sure that if I only had one leg, I could not have paid him to swear that I had 2 fully functioning legs. Why do you think Trump was lucky enough to find, perhaps, the only doctor in the US that would swear that he had a medical problem that he did not, in fact, have? Every time you make your dumb ass statement about Trumps bone spurs you’re saying some Doctor some where is dishonest and can’t be trusted. But obviously you have a fun time condoning Slick’s draft dodging while being critical of some doctor for lying for Trump. Just for your info, if you get a deferment for a physical condition by a medical doctor, it does not count as felony draft dodging such as slick did
@Deplorable Me: Rich is ok he just had his his news sources building up his dreams…impeachment dreams shattered by his hero.
His bias about kids in hats being vicious little monsters shown to be totally manufactured.
@kitt: No one real marine would have attacked these kids. If they first did, they would apologize. The real marines do toys for tots. Another example of why Rich was never a real marine.
@Randy: Just thank goodness he doesnt have the power of the media types, He vents here just like we do. We could agree with him but then we would all be wrong. 😉
@Greg
So why don’t you call your buddies in the Dim party and tell them it’s time for them to go to work. Tell them to put on the table for Trump to have the existing border wall and fencing removed as they don’t like the immorality and the fence doesn’t help anything anyhow. Let them offer to have the fencing around Obozo’s house and Slicks house taken down as walls don’t work. Propose that new prisons be built without walls, because ‘walls don’t work’ ? We could get enough money from the scrap metal of the existing fences to pay a lot of gov employees. Have them negotiate and ask them to get rid of all those things that ‘don’t work’.
@Redteam, #151:
It wasn’t luck. It was having a father who was worth $250-300 million. Surely you have some vague understanding of how wealth and privilege work in this country.
@Redteam: See what he is doing again, Trump was not at the event in question, has nothing at all to do with the medias treatment of these kids he refuses to stay on point. SQUIRREL ——–>
Hey Greg what do you think about the media treatment of the children on the field trip?
I think it has had far more attention than was ever warranted.
@Greg: That wasnt the question, lots of things get much more attention than they should, do you think the media treated the children on the feildtrip in a journalistic professionally responsible manner? The headlines ect.
@Greg:
Oh, certainly. For instance, if you are named Clinton, you can commit perjury on video, allow all hostile nation to have access to your State Department emails, collect millions of dollars for approving the sale of US uranium to Russians and make millions and millions of dollars while selling US government influence and never pay a price.
You do recall that you were part of the advance force spreading this false story of lies… right? What you mean to say is this blew up in the liberals’ face, so let’s just drop it. On the other hand, I LOVE discussing it, rubbing the liberals’ penchant for lying in, exhorting an example of liberal violence and intimidation that the left tried to turn around on CHILDREN and also point out the hypocrisy of the left as they support lying, racist, homophobic trash for assailing innocent children.
More attention than was ever warranted? Do you think it is a problem for people to condemn kids simply because of the choice of headgear? Should they receive homophobic and racist insults along with death threats because of the hats they wore? Cmon… answer this one.
@kitt: If it benefits the liberal agenda, it’s fair. I think they call it “the ends justifies the means”. If it exposes their corrupt methods, COLLUSION! BONE SPURS! HOOKERS! COLLUSION!
@Deplorable Me: They very much want this to go away, I remember when he posted it here I read the article (blatent lie) and I said the child should be spanked.
The left got this and what type of people are they, seems it was I can do ya one better on what I would do to a person who would not hate Trump , lock em in the School and burn it down, hahaha, no Run them MAGA hat first thru a wood chipper hahaha they dont seem to be very stable people at all. Calling the school the parents doxxing children, seems the Black Hebrew Isrealites represent most of them.
Death threats against Kids, gee whiz why would that make NORMAL people a bit angry? I only saw where one “journalist” lost their job cause he just wanted them All to die and the moms and dads. They even called colleges to ruin these kids chances of higher education.
It was not the kids that put this out there it was the Goofy drummer guy, he had his film crew following him and marched to WaPo . And it wasnt even it all started when they hit me back, they hung all those kids on a facecrime.
So Greg who likes to demonize based on faked news should perhaps look at mob mentality when it comes to impeachment cries as well. Try to be NORMAL , watch his information sources and how they handle this delicate situation of child abuse, will the perps stand up and tell their watchers they we were ALL wrong just leave the kids alone, will they report it was an old fool that wanted attention and lied to get?
NO WE WILL NOT LET THIS SLITHER AWAY UNDER THE RUG, YOU ATTACKED CHILDREN. They all need a checkup from the neck up.
The indian needs to slither back into obscurity, WaPo needs to pay for 24/7 security for each of the kids getting threats and print multiple headlines about innocence destroyed.
@kitt: Yeah, they want this to go away. That’s the problem. Instead of merely wanting another one of the terrible mistakes to “go away”, they should be wishing it never happened. If they actually would want things like this not to happen, they would oppose the media and their co-conspirators exploiting and encouraging it by providing excuses and cover for the perpetrators.
Joyless Behar stated it pretty clearly; the left hates Trump so much and wants impeachment so badly that they disregard everything else (like civility, respect, morality, human dignity) to get at Trump. People’s children are disposable and expendable. And, since the exposure of THIS scam, it is right and proper to punish the kids with threats of violence and ruination of their future.
But, hey, let’s consider the opinions of these people.
@Deplorable Me: I assume you have seen the new revelations about this guy now known as “Dances with Maytags”, he couldnt find the kitchen 2 or 3 times AWOL and chucked in the brig, then booted as E1, Phillips isnt even his real name so deep is this guys pride of his past. Disgusting old fool shoving his puss into every camera he could find the last 4 days.
@kitt: Yeah, I think he’s huffed too much Freon and smokem too much Wacky Tobbacky in peace pipe. Again, the people the left will idolize. Alec Baldwin is being praise for pleading guilty to assault. Truly going full Nazi.
@Deplorable Me: Horror, they poke and poke and poke finally found the trigger of where we draw the line.
To use a Richie shame attempt, you used to be reasonable before Trump, well Pal Trump was not there just a bunch of our NORMAL kids.
The Republicans tried to pass legislation to get those working for the government paid could only get 6 Dems to agree so it did not pass.
Trump’s job approval poll average now stands at minus 15 percent. A wise person would realize a course correction is in order.
@Greg: Imagine what it would be if the media didn’t lie about his accomplishments and how Schumer, not him, shut down the government. No wonder Pelosi doesn’t want him to present a SOTU address.
@Greg: Dont care about your stinking lying, how about do you think the media treated the children on the feildtrip in a journalistic professionally responsible manner? The headlines ect.
@Deplorable Me:
Have any of them admitted they were wrong and apologized? What leftist, including the ones here, have publicly condemned the calls to kill these kids? None. Therefore they silently support it just like the Scalise shooting. You see, the “compassionate” left backs abortion on demand including late term abortions. It’s very easy for them to transition to advocate killing high school kids (or anyone else for that matter) who has differing views. If anyone wants to look at how a Hitler, Lenin, or Stalin can kill millions and still have support of some of the people as well, look no further than the left.
@Greg: As Trump sinks lower and lower—-OH but the poor poor children. Those “little boys” The Humanity
@rich wheeler: Were these kids mistreated? Are the death threats justified?
@Deplorable Me, #167:
You’ll have to imagine, because that isn’t what has actually happened.
Donald Trump to Chuck Shumer, during a nationally televised White House meeting on Friday, December 11, 2018:
@rich wheeler: wassamadder Marine not man enough to protect kids?
@Greg:
Like I said, if the kid wasn’t wearing a red hat no one would have cared.
It’s now being reported that people are scrambling from the Diocese because of a suspicious package and Barnes just received a bomb threat. The left is way out of control. They have normalized violence against the rest of us. At some point the rest of us will need to make a decision- submit to their tyranny or fight back.
The useful idiot DNC voter base and they salivated ( Raged ) and were Rewarded (Reinforced their beliefs of moral superiority)…. Mission accomplished by the Political Terrorist DNC… The low intellect leftist mindset voter base will refuse to accept the truth with Evidence and Are waiting for their next Emotional click bait fix to rage about.
Note to garbage you picked the wrong target, we know you want to demonize Catholics cause 2 female Catholics are set to as possible replacements for Ruthie.
@kitt: What the hell are you saying Kitt? Should I be scared of reprisals from you and AV #175′—crazed hyperbole.
I expect your “little boys” will be fine Probably get a trip to the W.H. Great diversion for POTUS—
You know who are not fine—the scores of innocent children killed in our schools by gun violence—not coming back.—you feel as bad for them?
Bill#171 Yes —No
Any doubt now that Wheeler is nothing more than pond scum? His hatred for Trump would justify any action on the left no matter how heinous.
@another vet:
That’s total nonsense. No, they are not, and no, they have not.
@Richard Wheeler:
And neither are the MILLIONS of unborn children slaughtered before they even had a chance to go to school simply because Democrats no longer value life. Do you feel bad about them, Wheeler?
@Greg: Concur
The hatred from the right —Fed by their leader-blowhards like him–they think it’s fine.
Kitt -Agree too many people on mind altering meds—never taken any meds.
@Richard Wheeler: You dont protect them when they are alive why should you care about them when they are dead? Think dude think most school shooters on mind altering meds most of those meds were never meant for kids. What do the ignoramuses want to control? not the meds….who makes load of donations to pols also main advertisers for MSM? The AMA, CDC, and FDA need to be drained too.
@Greg:
Like your refusal to admit the monumental lie about these kids you were complicit it, you refuse to see the never ending flow of lies out of the mouths of liberal media and liberal politicians.
I’ll ask you this again; How and When did Trump shut down the government?
Yes, they have. It’s why they never accept the consequences of their actions. Based on LIES, the left whipped themselves up into a bloodthirsty frenzy which is directed at some kids, and the liberal media was a willing and enthusiastic participant.
@another vet:
No they aren’t. They are IN control. The left controls their cowardly, violent, scumbag minions. If the media would come forth and call this incident what it really is and eliminate all the false accusations against the kids, the threats of violence would vanish. They don’t care; they HOPE someone will use an AR-15 to murder a bunch of these kids so they can promote their anti-gun agenda while they have a House majority.
@Richard Wheeler:
ONLY conservatives care about those kids. Liberals merely wish to use their deaths (and more, they hope) to push gun control and disarmament. It’s why every liberal proposal is directed at law abiding ownership and not criminal activity. Are you concerned about kids killed by illegal immigrants or are a few thousand deaths acceptable as a cost of allowing illegal immigration? Liberals don’t seem to worry much about the tragic side affects of their policies.
You mean the outraged reaction to liberal hatred? Look at all the “hatred” flung back and forth over this topic… which was FABRICATED by the LEFT. I see a definite pattern….
@Greg:
You have to admit the death threats and threats of harm against the kids are impressive. The lawyer who offered to represent them is enduring bomb threats. This action against children is unprecedented.
@DrJohn:
It’s the ongoing education of society by the left. Do NOT oppose the liberal doctrine; if you do, you suffer the consequences. Even if you are just STANDING still and liberals assail you, your duty is to simply accept all the blame and NOT challenge liberal dogma and actions. If you don’t, you suffer the consequences. And, do NOT defend anyone treated wrongly or threatened by the liberal mob; if you do, you suffer the consequences.
This sounds strikingly similar to another ideology and political movement. Just can’t put my finger on it, though.
@Deplorable Me: Aww hell where would they send me, the high temp tomorrow is suppose to be a balmy 2 degrees without windchill.
@Deplorable Me:
They are rewriting history as it is happening right now. They are the ones who started this, not us. If the kids would have been wearing “Hope and Change” hats or Antifa black hoodies, none of this would have been made an issue of by the left.
If you look at how the NAZI’s and Communists committed the atrocities they did, look at their methods and see how the left is following them a ‘T’. First you have to dehumanize your opponents such as the NAZI’s did with say the Jews and capitalists and the Communists did with capitalists. Obama began dehumanizing everyone who disagreed with him. There was the enemies list, the Terrorist Watch List which id’d people and organizations with conservative views as potential domestic terrorists, the “cling to their religion and guns” comment and others like it. Then Hillary came along branding anyone not supporting her as “deplorable”. In the meantime, Hollywood,the MSM, and every other left winger (such as Greg coming here stating that conservatives and Republicans were the biggest threat to the country) id’d anyone not agreeing with them as racists, NAZI’s (even though they’re the ones using NAZI tactics), and every other thing they could come up with. Go to Real Clear Politics and look at the titles of the articles written by the left. They have gotten far more hate filled and have gone from just Trump to everyone else who doesn’t support the left’s agenda.
Once the dehumanization process gets to a certain level, then you can justify the use of violence against anyone not holding your views because they are no longer human. Antifa violence is accepted. Calling for the murder of high school kids wearing hats you don’t like and attending a rally that goes against their cherished practice of abortion is now seen as justifiable. Shooting Republicans on a soft ball field is acceptable. Etc. Etc. The process is ongoing. And now you know how what is supposed to be a civilized society can kill 6 million Jews or put three times that many “others” to death through imprisonment in gulags, starvation, and relocation.
@another vet:
If that were the case, they would be over at the March for Life clocking women in the back of the head with bicycle locks.
@DrJohn:
As far as I know, it’s also unverified.
The entire incident has been inflated and exploited by media on both sides. It surely signifies something that an old man who lied about his military service banging a drum in front of a kid in a Trump hat who might show a bit more respect for an elder gets our full attention, while what seems to have been an actual domestic terror plot goes virtually unnoticed.
@Greg:
So, all of the videos and the twitter comments are unverified? I never could have believed that you could surpass your ignorant posts from the past, but you have!
@Greg:
It is verified. There were threats from verified Twitter accounts. I still don’t understand why Dorsey allows them when they suspend and lock accounts for much less. Then again, these are white Catholic Trump supporters. Seems anything goes for them.
@Greg:
Have you tried searching “threats against covington”? I know that takes a LOT of ingenuity and sweat, but if you were actually wondering about it, you might have tried it. Then you wouldn’t look like a willfully ignorant fool in deep, dark denial.
You are quick to believe practically anything that isn’t true, as long as it supports a liberal dialogue yet go deaf, dumb and blind when obvious, if uncomfortable, facts fall into your lap.
No, not really. YOUR side exploited the lie, then a pitiful few refuted the lies and provided the facts. But, what was exploited in the first place? Who decided it would be a good idea to create a video lie about some kids and who ran with it for three days before they had to weakly retract their lies? Who was it, Greg?
The only reason the threats are “unverified” is because you don’t want to admit what your party and ideology does for a living.
@Deplorable Me: Our pet trolls will never understand why we dont just step aside and let them run things. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/…
Maybe if we did there wouldnt be things.
University of Illinois in the heart of Democrat liberal policies, how do these types get tenure, you know they stripped the Pultizer prize from the man that discovered DNA, he discovered some uncomfortable scientific proofs.
“Things cannot be known objectively; they must be known subjectively.” Subjective stress and load calculations for buildings and bridges.
But she has a degree and stuff an expert so must be subjectively correct.
The Kenton County prosecutor just announced that subpoenas and search warrants have already been issued. What a breath of fresh air compared to our DOJ and their handling of Spygate.
@another vet: I dont know if the investigations and sopoenas will do much good, its sad the children need police protection at school, the package found not explosive.
Whats even more sad is that the red hats incite anything more than a Greenbay fan wearing his Jersey and cheese hat to a Bears game.
OMG can we even have a Superbowl?
@kitt:
And now as part of their game, the left has taken to making derogatory statements while claiming to be Covington students. We’ve seen them use this tactic before by writing racist graffiti while pretending to be conservatives. Both the NAZI’s and Communists used this tactic. Kissin’ cousins.
https://www.wlwt.com/article/prosecutor-hundreds-of-threats-made-against-covington-catholic-after-dc-march-firestorm/26014571
I don’t care about those “oppressed” millionaires, but to answer your question, if it offends the left, no.
When we were trying to find Saddam and Osama our soldiers were regularly been called “boys” by the Left who (then) wanted us out of all wars.
“Boys” were a protected class for the Left, a group who ought to be coddled, protected, kept safe.
But now, real boys, ages 14-17, have been attacked by Lefties.
Now boys are fair game!
In fact, worse should have happened to those boys according to many on the Left.
Doxxing, cussing out, even threatening the health and life of each boy has been called for.
And why?
To prime the pump for the possibility that Pres Trump might put another Catholic forward for the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice John Roberts = Catholic
Neil Gorsuch = raised Catholic, presently Episcopalian
Sonia Sotomayor = Catholic
Samuel Alito = Catholic
Clarence Thomas = Catholic
Elana Kagan, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg = Jewish
US Constitution Article VI
The Left sought to change the above, but it won’t fly.
You folks have gone overboard on this—-saw the offended teen say in an interview he’d have been better to walk away True –but I don’t hold it against him for standing there basically amused by the old Indian’ as were his friends,
The 4 or 5 Black Muslim demonstrators got drowned out by school cheers—-great–the kids got a civics lesson—all have a right to demonstrate peacefully as they did earlier at a right to life march.
Kitt—I’ve seen Raider fans beat up on fans in Charger gear—and a guy in Dodger blue got beat up by Giant fans, so wearing a MAGA hat can invoke protest—keep in mind there was NO violence.
AV Please stop saying I support ANTIFA when you know that’s false—like me claiming you support the white supremacists.-
Unlike DT I won’t even claim there “were good people on both sides.”
Comparing Dems to Naziis and Commies—think that’s ridiculous.
People saying Trump a Nazii equally ridiculous.
All is fodder for addicted internet posters
Trump’s decline his own fault–not the media
@Richard Wheeler: So did the people in the team gear deserve what they got? You seem to swing and miss the point. Women provoke rape by wearing certain attire as well right?
Why must people be so disrespectful of others rights? To the point of violence and mob mentality.
The injun isnt accepting the kids explanation of events still the MSM stirs the division those kids have no rights pot.
@kitt: Obviously the answer is NO. People can wear what they want and others can protest what they want—should never turn to violence.
Throwback Thurs—-ABSOLUTELY appropriate DT plays Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want–You Get What You Need.” at his rallies.–Love it.
