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.
Bill Kristol deleted this tweet (using: Twitter Web Client). #BillKristol #BillKristol #deletedtweet #screenshotbot #sshotbot pic.twitter.com/p6UbjyW04D — Screenshot Bot (@sshotbot) January 21, 2019

Yeah, that’s the ticket! Turn this into an anti-Catholic thread!
Bill Kristol is trying to be relevant. Ignore him.
Rule of thumb. Every story that you read, you must assume that it is propaganda and ask why it is being written. That goes for Fox, CNN, Post, NYT, etc. Or better yet, wait a day or two to form any opinion at all, good or bad, for at least 48 hours, and search for related stories after the fact. I personally think it is a waste of time. Just assume every article is BS and go on about your business.
“I’m still not sold on this. The teens should apologize to the Native American. It was shameful.”
With an hour long tape of it, and you still have so little shame nor sense that you still post something this rerarded?
If this isnt a troll, then maybe you thought you typed in DU.
He’s trying to lay low, hoping no one will notice his deleted tweet and leave his name out of the coming lawsuit.
He is not self loathing. He is just stupid. As the philospher said “Stupid is as Stupid does”.
What did the boys allegedly DO? All I see is a teen in a MAGA hat SMILING at a guy who’s up in his face. Are we not even allowed to smile at people anymore without igniting a national firestorm?!
I’ve watched multiple videos of this and fail to see anything that anyone can get worked up about - unless you are worked up about a guy intentionally walking into a crowd of church going kids and getting aggressive with them banging his drum and chanting.
This whole thing is ridiculous and a sad testament to just how much the country has jumped the shark.
“The teens should apologize to the Native American.”
You need to get tested for toxic South Bronx poisoning, stat.
The Leftist Indian dude went in to provoke a situation with crony cameramen.
He got what he wanted and now the full truth is out and it ain’t a good look.
Did you spend all day in the bathroom and miss the news yesterday?
Is he still around somewhere, or is he going to help Kase-ich form a third party to suck votes away from Trump?
“Indian Elder” who was dissed by white high school boys? No, just a crazy old dude who happens to be Native American. He’s senile Nancy Pelosi’s soulmate.
Lots of white people people got punked by crazy Indian with his drums.
He's easily slipped into the Left-wing extremist crowds on CNN where he spouts his out-dated and stale drivel. No one but the Left listens to him anymore.
Can anyone spell "Failed Weekly Standard"?
He is NOT a conservative. He is the Mitt Romney and Jeff Flake of the cable TV talking heads.
BillyKristol is still trying to make news? Ho hum...*Yawn*
“There are none so blind as those who will not see”
With all the videos out there now that totally debunk the original story, you really need to get better informed before you make statements like this.
You win 1,000 internets for this post!
You can sue for moral defamation -— certainly for libel, right? I hope the news outlets who ran with this thing, and the blog-o-maniacs how howled for blood against these kids, get sued into bankruptcy.
It makes me so angry I should get off the internet for a while, lest I add to the volatile accelerants.
What a slimy fake conservative RINO
You must have a low threshold for shame. Even if the original narrative was true (it's not), the only thing the teens did was smile at a guy. They're being treated as if they lynched the guy.
Well I didn’t mean in the literal sense.
