20 Jan: ABC: Teenagers in MAGA caps stare down native American protester during Washington DC rally
by AP/ABC
The man playing the drum was identified by the “Indian Country Today” website as Nathan Phillips, an Omaha elder and Vietnam veteran who holds an annual ceremony honouring native American veterans at Arlington National Cemetery.
“When I was there singing, I heard them saying ‘Build that wall, build that wall,’” Mr Phillips said, as he wiped away tears in a video posted on Instagram...
He said he wished the group would put their energy into “making this country really great”.
Mr Phillips later told the Washington Post he was thinking about his dead wife and the struggles faced by indigenous communities while being taunted by the high school students.
He said he “felt like the spirit was talking through me”...
Congresswoman Deb Haaland of New Mexico, who had been at the rally earlier in the day, sharply criticised what she called a display of “blatant hate, disrespect, and intolerance.”
“This veteran put his life on the line for our country,” she tweeted Saturday. “Heartbreaking.”...

If you look at the video, the teens were just viewing the Washington monument and Lincoln Memorial when the Indian came walking over banging his drum. The Indian was with another side-kick who was stalking the kids.
The two Indians are professional agitators, who roam the Washington mall every weekend. They were specifically looking for trouble as leftest usually do.
If anything, the teens were very well behaved. I would have taken the drum and smashed it over his head.
WHEN?? We need Rush, Candace, Hannity or some big shot to take a stand and lead the way!! WE ARE ITCHING for a leader!!! YELLOW VEST UNITE!!!
Thank God for ubiquitous cell phone video cameras and ´citizen journalists´: If we had to rely on the leftist main stream media and the Trump hating pseudo-conservative Neocon pundits, we would never learn the truth.
Their major crime was that they were wearing MAGA caps.
FWIW I was referring to American ABC radio. But as the saying goes, a lie can travel half way around the world before the truth puts on its pants. Obviously true in this case.
When people stop looking to others.
President Trump didnt need to be led.
Ah, so the Indian approached the kid and got right in his personal space probably trying to bait him and the kid just stood his ground.
I think this is worse than just a libel case, this is also a child abuse case as well as a civil rights case.
This was a completely premeditated setup. There needs to be discovery on pre-coordination between this Nathan Phillips and media figures.
Yep. I watched the longer video.
He picked the ‘nicest’ looking kid. And the kid WAS!
He just stood quietly while Chief Rain-in-the-face banged his drum amd moaned in his face.
The kid just stood and smiled politely.
This has been hype from the beginning.
A Conservative Lawyer needs to gather these students and parents and make a stand. Call a news conference and detail every false allegation, who made it and threaten lawsuit for defemation and endangering CHILDREN. Name the liars!
So now it’s for an adult to barge into a group of kids and gets right in face of one, swinging drumstick inches from the kid’s face?
You are correct. Both the high school student and a participant in the protest smiled at the same time, and I really doubt the person with the Indigenous People's March T shirt was "mocking" the drummer, or being "disrespectful".
But the person wearing the MAGA hat got criticized by the entire left wing media, yet they said nothing about the other person smiling at the same time.
The images are from the same video, moments apart. The shoulder of the drummer is visible in the picture on the right, he is wearing a coat with an embroidered decoration.
Exactly. Let’s not succumb to that crybaby gimme snowflake culture.
