If someone walks up to you and bangs a drum in your face, are you guilty of harassing the drummer? You might be if you’re white and wearing a MAGA hat. Just a day after rushing to judgment about a Buzzfeed story that claimed President Trump had instructed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress—a story Robert Mueller’s own office subsequently debunked, the blue-checkmark media elite had a new instant narrative to promote. It was a tale perfectly tailored to liberal biases: white Catholic teenagers in MAGA hats had harassed an old and frail Indian veteran during the March for Life, which was also the date of an Indigenous People’s March.
SNIP
No lessons were learned from the story’s collapse, either, to judge by the frenzy that next broke out from the same sort of people over the case of Covington Catholic High School and Native American activist Nathan Phillips. Once again, enlightened opinion did not wait on much evidence before reaching a verdict: a one-minute video clip of a teen in a red MAGA hat smirking right in front of Phillips while the elder beat a hand drum and sang was all the proof required. This was a hate-motivated outrage perpetrated by white Trump supporters. Case closed.
The narrative assumed that the Covington boys had surrounded Philips and stood right in his face, grinning in silent insult. When a second video seemed to show that it was in fact Phillips who had approached the teens, it received even less attention — much as those few voices of caution about Buzzfeed’s fable were ignored by the true believers. But there are more videos, including one that’s nine-minutes long and provides a great deal of interesting context.
The teen is not smirking in this clip, and Phillips has his an entourage with cameras. One of the Indian activists argues with a Covington teen, who argues back. This and other clips have shown the Indian activists racially taunting the teens, saying things like “go back to Europe.” Phillips has claimed that the teens were chanting “build the wall!,” but that isn’t in any of the videos that circulated Saturday. Based on what can actually be seen and heard, it’s looks as if Phillips and his crew sought out Catholic teenagers and tried to make them uncomfortable. And of course, they recorded it. (Notably, however, both the Indian activists and the Covington teens rein in the activist and teenager who get into a shouting match. An appropriate attempt at restraint was has been completely ignored.)
The videos appear to depict more than one engagement between the Indians and the Catholic teens, and without knowing which happened first, and what circumstances led to the first encounter, it’s hard to form any conclusions, if fairness is your objective. Maybe the teens chanted “Build the wall!” or something else at the Indian activists, which prompted Phillips to approach them. But so far, there’s no evidence to support that scenario, only the words of Phillips and his associates. That hasn’t stopped blue-checkmark media figures like former CNN blatherskite Reza Aslan from not only branding the teens as racists but in Aslan’s case musing about inflicting violence on them:
"Honest question. Have you ever seen a more punchable face than this kid’s?" - Reza Aslan
Rhetorical questions about punching kids? Imagine the response of Aslan’s professional friends if he’d asked that about, say, one of the high schoolers campaigning for gun control after the Parkland, Florida shootings. Or imagine Aslan saying that about any teenager who’s not wearing a MAGA hat. Nonviolence and protecting children don’t apply when you’re an enemy to the woke, enlightened left. And another double-standard bears mention, as well: watch the rest of the nine-minute video with the Covington teens after the encounter with the Indian activists. Also on the scene are a group of Black Hebrew Israelites, a crackpot sect that takes this occasion to spew gay-baiting rhetoric at the Covington teenagers. This part of the Covington’s teens’ experience in Washington, D.C. has somehow gone unmentioned in most media, and the social justice enforcers on Twitter have not paid any attention at all to the hate explicitly vented here — certainly nothing like the outrage lavished on the Phillips-Covington incident.
ETC...
Good question.
The same thing that makes a woman want to murder her child in the womb maybe?
Bitch!
West University Place Councilwoman Kellye Burke approached a group of girls waiting in line to buy cookies at a shop Saturday and started screaming at them, KPRC-TV reported. She reportedly shouted, “‘Grab ‘em by the p---y girls!’”One of the girls was wearing a “Make American Great Again” shirt. A father of one of the teens told the station they tried to ignore Burke but she kept yelling at them.

It that a RHETORICAL Question, or do you not understand people who could abort their own child are just “mob” away from genocide the same a Mao, Pol, Joseph and their beloved Che’. A mere puch you say, way spare the rod when one would euthanize their own flesh and blood. Oh, MF’er Please!
Because no one has ever administered a memorable ass beating to such a lowlife if/when they try it.
Nothing quite like the deterrent effect of a memory like that.
It looks to me as if the kid who was getting screamed at was smiling in an attempt to show that he wasn’t angry or going to engage with this elderly “Native American” nutcase.
My first thought....
Shouldn’t start banging a drum right in some kids face.
When you read the YouTube Comments you also see a twisting of the facts based on the Hatred of the Poster.
You go down a ways and the story evolves that the Kid and his Nazi Youth Friends intentionally ran up to and surrounded the poor Native American Veteran to prevent his group from walking to the Lincoln Memorial.
Then you get the usual this land belongs to the tribes and was stolen by the White Man crowd while they evoke POTUS Trump wanting to build a wall to keep out the other Brown People because they are well, brown.
They wail about the guy being a Vietnam Veteran, yet some of their parents probably Spit on returning Veterans back in the 1960’s. My assumption based on Evidence presented Your Honor.
Arrogance, a sense of entitlement, smugness, call it what you will, libs have it.
Hate.
Here's one, Reza.
