Bill Kristol deletes tweet, fails to apologize for jumping on phony story of MAGA hat kids

On Friday, a group of March for Life teenagers from Covington, KY were harassed by an extremist demonstrator, a Native American beating a drum, and through carefully edited video, were widely portrayed in the mainstream media as mean harassers of a poor Native American war veteran.  Taylor Day busted the fraud on our pages today, but you can quickly grasp the gist of the fraud through this video from the Daily Caller:

A number of conservatives jumped on the virtue-signaling bandwagon, accepting at face value yet another fake news story seeking to castigate Trump and/or his supporters. But those with integrity, once they realize that their eagerness to display moral superiority to other conservatives, apologized.

But not Bill Kristol. He quietly deleted his tweet claiming moral superiority for what he imagines John McCain would have done, compared to that reprobate Donald Trump (who correctly did nothing).

Too bad for him that a Twitter Account called Screenshot bot captured the tweet, exposing the cowardly retreat from the public stage when shown up as a phony virtue-signaler whose virtue was imaginary to begin with.

RE: Left wing extremists don NOT apologize

Bill Kristol is a self-proclaimed “conservative”.

Irrespective of whether its true or not, for Bill Kristol to be tweeting about a group of kids is just pathetic.

There were freepers on here yesterday jumping on this story and denouncing the kid
It seems we have some , or many on our side who cannot wait for all the story to come out, and I can understand why this country is so screwed over when people on both sides follow the lies of the media.
All those freepers should hang their heads in shame.

Bill Kristol hates Trump so much his first reaction is to aim equal hate at Trump supporters.

He lacks the character to apologize for the fruit of his hate.

Self loathing conservatives are quick to join the left’s false anti white, anti male narratives. Just ask Steve King.

Kristol continues to expose himself as a repugnant, piece of crap.

Au contraire, they stand behind all young men.

Smooth move by the Catholics. They will stand behind molesters and then threaten those high schoolers. They can get that abuse for free at a public school.

And this is why I just bought a MAGA hat. The Bill Kristols of the world need to be put back into their place.

Time to punch back twice as hard anyway I can.

"There were freepers on here yesterday jumping on this story and denouncing the kid. All those freepers should hang their heads in shame."

I am one of those, and allowing the media to do this to me raised my ire. But I read more accounts as they came out and realized my mistake.

I hope more Americans become more "woke" to this, as they now say, and the media receive a black eye AND a bloody nose...
