President Trump on Wednesday cheered the news that attorneys representing a high school student involved in a now-infamous confrontation with a Native American activist last month are suing The Washington Post.
The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Kentucky, accused the Post of practicing "a modern-day form of McCarthyism" by targeting Nicholas Sandmann and "using its vast financial resources to enter the bully pulpit by publishing a series of false and defamatory print and online articles ... to smear a young boy who was in its view an acceptable casualty in their war against the president."
The suit is seeking $250 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

I hope the Lawyer REFUSES to Settle at any cost, Discovery will be the most entertaining endeavor we have ever seen.
I hope Nick and his family BANKRUPTS this birdcage liner...
It's only infamous because of the actions of loonytoons protestors and the MSM.
The "student" didn't ask for the confrontation with Nathan Phillips, or with the Congressional Black Hebrew Israelites.
Too early...:-(
This will settle. My guess is they will offer the family a a million bucks (maybe less, maybe more), and hope they take it.

So nice to FINALLY have a POTUS that fights back against the MSM lies!
One million? No way. And lawyer gets 40%.
President Trump should invite him to the only MAGA hat wearing zone in D.C., the White House....
Also free of fake War vets....
An interesting fact in the law suit is that the owner of the Washington Post may be in question. Beezoz is likely to have to surrender half of his wealth in the divorce.
Does that include the Compost?
One can only hope!
I expect the Washington Post to settle this quietly. I am more interested in pending lawsuits against those smarmy talking head TV news people and the diocese.
There’s a lotta deep pockets there.....................Even if they win just one of their lawsuits!.....................
There is a reason why Washington post is first. Sends a msg.
This is great, and I hope he wins big.
Which is why Isuspect the Bexos Blog is anxiously trying to figure out what it will cost to make this go away.
Thank you Mr President for standing up for these young boys
