Nobody should be all that surprised that leftist mobs and their mainstream media allies perpetrated a false story about Covington Catholic schoolboys in MAGA hats supposedly 'mocking' a Native American, followed by a Twitter feeding frenzy that's going to get them a lawsuit. As John Hinderaker notes, the blue checkmarks are now swiftly deleting and scrubbing their Twitter statements in a pathetic bid to avoid getting sued.

MAGA kids, of course, know what the left is like from other incidents, and probably can deal that behavior on some level.

But what isn't good is the embrace of the dishonest narrative from the kids' own school and their own Catholic diocese, falsely condemning them in some amazing public calumny they have yet to retract. It's shocking, actually.

The problem is that the “Catholic” schools aren’t Catholic anymore....not for decades now.

Everyone should know that the Covington Diocese was ordered to pay out $120 million in 2005 to settle sex abuse cases. It is still a corrupt Diocese. Just Google ot if you don’t believe me.

It really depends on the school; some still are very much Catholic, while most are not Catholic at all, any more.

The still photo looked like a smirk

In his well written statement of the event, Nick Sandmann said that he smiled to show he had no ill intent. The media said he smirked. The media lies.

If he had not smiled in the face of harassment, then he would have been accused of showing a grimace of hatred.

The fix was in.

Maybe because females tend to be more emotional, while males are more logical.
