CNN’s Kirsten Powers: Covington Students Called Classmate ‘N***er’ with Hand Gesture
Breitbart ^ | 22 Jan 2019 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 01/22/2019 3:00:07 PM PST by detective

CNN political analyst and USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers bizarrely claimed on Monday that Covington Catholic High School students referred to a black classmate as a racial slur with silent hand gestures to their harassers — who were actually saying the word.

The alleged gesture occurred in the lead up to a confrontation between some of the school’s students and a Native American activist on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during Friday’s March for Life event in Washington, D.C.

Initial video of a confrontation between Covington Catholic High School junior Nick Sandmann and Native American activist Nathan Phillips created a firestorm of controversy on social media, with both left and right-wing media observers accusing the student of racism. Sandmann, donning a red Make America Great Again baseball cap, is seen smiling as he stands in front of Phillips, an elder with the Omaha tribe, who is beating a drum close to his face. Some of Sandmann’s classmates were laughing and making hand gestures in what some say were attempts to make fun of Phillips.

Just another example of demonstrating “we can do this, but you can’t.”

Really! The lying is unbelievable.

Pretty strong evidence that the vast majority of big media reporters/journalists are psychopaths.

We are approaching a major societal crack-up...at light speed

Check this out =>

“Kirsten Powers is an American psychopath, author, columnist, and political analyst. She currently writes for USA Today, and is an on-air political analyst at CNN, where she appears regularly on Anderson Cooper 360°, CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, and The Lead with Jake Tapper. Wikipedia”

http://www.google.com/search?safe=active&q=kirsten%20powers

“psychopath” does not appear in the wiki article itself.

Kristen is a leftist and has been taught to hate herself because of her race. I could care less if these kids called each other names. Black people call themselves and others this word all the time and no one blinks.

How does anyone even say this with a straight face? Why would anyone that says things like this ever be allowed around children??

This is a well established routine now. Make a charge that can’t be proven right or wrong and just run with it.

Gins up the loons and there’s no responsibility for making it up.

The media has learned this from people like Elijah Cummings, Maxine Waters, and Lewis Farrakhan.

What happened to her? She used to be kind of hot, with moderate views on Fox. Now she is as unhinged as the rest of them.

These Libs are insane.

This ‘hand gesture = N-word’ is as ridiculous as claiming the ‘OK’ hand gesture is a white supremacist signal.

Libs claim anything is racist or sexist, etc.

If they could be committed, there would be a massive shortage of beds in mental institutions.

What the hell is the “hand-gesture” anyway? Someone clue me in. Gang-bangers use ‘em all the time.
