efore he encountered Omaha elder Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial, Covington High School student Nick Sandmann had already taken steps to provoke and insult people of color. He'd put on a MAGA hat. Sandmann’s face went viral over the weekend when footage began circulating of him and his classmates at the Lincoln Memorial.
