Sandmann’s family soon hired RunSwitch, a media relations firm with strong ties to the Republican party, to handle the crisis, and L Lin Wood, a high-profile libel attorney known for aggressively pursuing lawsuits against the media. Sandmann has complained that the video was spreading “misinformation” about the incident.
Unlike Sandmann, Phillips does not have a PR firm to represent him and his side of the story, or an attorney to challenge critical journalists. His support team consists of two people: Ray Kingfisher, a northern Cheyenne who has known him for decades, and Daniel Nelson, a non-Native “ally” and program director of the Lakota Peoples Project. Phillips had been couch-surfing with them since he came to DC for the Indigenous Peoples March last week.
Part of him, understandably, wanted out of the situation. “Maybe after this happened, I should have just hopped in my car, went back to Michigan,” he thought aloud. “I’m becoming this rightwing media thing, you know?”
He plans to return to Standing Rock. And in the Spring, he hopes to trace the Missouri river on foot and pray for the water where the Keystone XL pipeline is scheduled to cross. “This is happening all across the country: hate and division, economic struggle, environment catastrophes, the oil, the water – they don’t mix.”
Phillips still carries anger, trauma and pain, but he says he’s ready to forgive Sandmann and those who he feels have done him wrong.
“Our lot as Indigenous people, which we’re trying to get back to with instructions, is not to return hate with hate but return hate with love.” He told me. “And so that’s what we’ve practiced.”

Watch him carefully; if his lips move it’s a sure sign his tongue’s forked.

Barf. Gag me with a spoon.
a lifelong professional LIAR and welfare bum.
The Gaurdian -read no further.
Bum with a drum
This started with the stolen valor bum’s side of the story.
He is complaining about the rebuttal.
Maybe before.
You're entire grievance manufacturing operation is now vulnerable to scrutiny.
And the Guardian takes the side of a known liar, a loser, and an idiot.
Typical Guardian.
That joke of a paper was only mildly laughable when I lived in the UK, now it defines silliness and idiocy. (In other words, progressives.)
Perhaps he’s still trying to “process” what happened to him and why he was assaulted by the white man yet again. No doubt it was the fault of th USMC that had him discharged as an E-1. He should be getting served by the kids lawyer soon. #notmyinjun

He has no PR firm??? NYT, WAPO, ABC, NBC, CBS , CNN. Huff Post, Buzz Feed...
The author of this piece is a Phillips PR rep. These people could put the lie detector industry out of business. Star Trek TNG’s Counselor Troi couldnt tell if they were lying.
:: he just has CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post ::
Hey...it worked for Trump (may re-election be upon him)!
Nah - he just has CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, all running his fake narrative. Phillips tried to bully and smear a 15 year old kid for the crime of being white, with the support and connivance of the MSM. He failed.
********
You nailed it! Well said!
Bingo!
You have nailed it!
Chief Big Ears Dances-with-Soros has about run out of his fifteen minutes of fame.
What’s really sinking him as aggrieved celebrity are his proven lies about Vietnam service.
Nathan “Dances with Soros” Phillips wants to “tell his side of the story?”
Which side is he going to talk about THIS TIME?!?
This man’s version of this event has more sides than a D&D icosagon die!
Ray Kingfisher?
