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.

Yeah, and it’s sunny and 78 at my house right now. NOT! LOL!

For a second there I thought you lived near me. It is actually going to be a warm 78 here today.

Your consolation is that you don't have Gavin Nusome as your governor.

The MAGA kid is smiling, but he’s not even looking at the Indian. He’s looking in a different direction, and ignoring taunting by the Indian.

If the teens story is true, then the media should apologize.

Period. I’ll do my own investigation.

He who does not apologize, knows the story was false to begin with.

Does this guy read any of his email or twitter following? This guy has no clue that 95% of real conservatives in this country think he’s an idiot?

According to the initial reports, he’s guilty of “smirking”.

That's what REALLY gets my goat.

How is a 15 year old SUPPOSED to look if a septuagenarian challenges him for no apparent reason if he wants to STAND HIS GROUND instead of folding like a conservative commentator?

Kids give half-hearted smiles (not smirks) when they are SCARED and don't want to show it!

Well, Indian Joe is supposedly 64 so he’s short a few of being a septugenarian. I am one so don’t stick him in with us.
