This ought to be interesting. I love it. I hope someone gets really rich on this, and it won’t be the news media.

Does this count as an apology?

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., under fire on social media for going after Covington Catholic students:

Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has apparently deleted an overnight tweet going after Covington Catholic students anew, after facing a social media backlash for her comments.

Her tweet had been posted well after the initial round of misreporting on the students’ widely viewed confrontation with a Native-American elder in Washington last week. Media figures initially seized on the viral confrontation with Nathan Phillips, with an initial clip appearing to show the students antagonizing him. But additional video then emerged offering context, including that Phillips approached them amid a confrontation between the students and Black Hebrew Israelite protesters. The students pushed back on the initial criticism, and many of those critics have since retracted their statements.

MEDIA TREATMENT OF COVINGTON STUDENTS ‘WAY WORSE’ THAN KAVANAUGH COVERAGE, CRITIC SAYS

But Omar on Tuesday night responded to President Trump’s tweet defending Covington student Nick Sandmann and his peers — by claiming they were taunting the black protesters despite accounts to the contrary and citing a videotaped comment about rape, though it’s unclear whether it was one of the Covington students who said it.

She wrote: “The boys were protesting a woman’s right to choose & yelled ‘it’s not rape if you enjoy it’ ... They were taunting 5 Black men before they surrounded Phillips and led racist chants ... Sandmann’s family hired a right wing PR firm to write his non-apology.”

But after an avalanche of criticism, the tweet had been removed by late morning on Wednesday.

That means any major member of the media. That means any celebrity.

Good, I hope some of them fail to retract in time and set up a really nice college fund for those kids.

Will Jim Carrey retract his painting?

I wonder if the Twitter organization is included in this, or if he’s just targeting individual people. I’d love to see almighty Twitter take it in the shorts. They have a bazillion dollars to fight with but if they lose, cha-ching!

Awsome! Go after Jim Carey hard!

“The piece, signed by the 57-year-old actor in the lower right corner, depicts Native American elder Nathan Phillips playing his drum while white students, three of four of whom are wearing red MAGA-style hats that read “hate again,” look on as they variously smile smugly, stick out their tongues, record with a phone in an American flag case and sneer at Phillips.”

Civil action won’t deter this ****.

But criminal action might.

It’s a good step, but I wish the lawyer would just start issuing law suits w/o the apology period. Blindside the hateful rats as hard as possible
