The Press Corpses hate the internet and fact checking.

WaPo - why didn’t you do your checking before you published a single word about this story?

why weren’t all your stories about this incident - from the start - about the Black Hebrews and the political activist, Phillips, not the schoolboys?

MSM HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS. TIME TO BURY THEM.

The Black Hebrews were the ones causing the trouble.

The liberal media has eaten so much trash over the past ten days. It’s ridiculous. I wish I could say stop sucking, but the anti-Trump pathogen might be too tough to flush out of the Left’s system. They just keep stepping on rakes.

It is not a temporary infection.

It is who they are.

The very founding ideas of Progressivism are based on lying and manipulating the public with lies.

The Progressive Media is simply being exposed for what they are and always have been.

So he claims to be a Vet for the benefits and free housing, etc. What a sorry SOB.....lied about being a Vietnam Vet.....he only did this for the benefits.

I kind of like those guys. It’s refreshing to see people wear their bigotry out in the open the way they do.

The Black Hebrews were the ones causing the trouble.
And the Indians came over to pile on the "privileged" white boys, not to protect them.

Yeh, turns out that Phillips was a Vietnam Era vet but never served in-country. He was a refrigeration technician and not a Recon Ranger as he described himself. Marine Corp doesn’t describe their recon guys as Rangers as it’s an army description. He also went AWOL three times and had other disciplinary problems. And, while he did serve his full four year hitch and received an honorable discharge he got out as an E-1 which is the grade one starts their military enlistment as. Actually, it’s quite a feat to remain in the military for four years as an E-1 and receive an honorable discharge. Most would have been given a general discharge and sent in their way long before four years was served. I can only surmise that there was a shortage of refrigeration techs at the time and Phillips must have been responsible for the Officers Club refrigerators or something. Sarc/

Elsewhere it has been reported that Phillips received a General Discharge not an Honorable Discharge.

Leftists lie and they do it because the ends justifies the means. Never trust a leftist. Never. They only tell the truth to set you up for the next lie.

I don’t care about the lies he told of his service record. I care about the lies he told about the incident on the mall & what he said about those students. There should be jail time for what he did & said.

Crow, the other white meat.

The bird, not the tribe.

Eat it.

Looks kinda like Rob Schneider.................

Give this poor man a land mine to step on.

"I don’t care about the lies he told of his service record. I care about the lies he told about the incident on the mall & what he said about those students."

Then you don't understand the reason why his lying about his service is so important.

First, the press just accepted his statements without fact checking, further proving that they don't really care about the facts, just their narrative. It fit their narrative to have a young privileged white Catholic boy in a maga hat attacking an old Vietnam Vet native American. Truth be damned when it gets in their way. Only after the right did it's work on the fact checking did these leftist rags modify their reports.

Second, it goes to his character. The Covington boys have not been shown to have lied in any instance yet. Again and again this fake has been shown to be a liar. If he lies about his military service, why should we take his word for what he says about the incident?

Chief Firewater enlisted as Nathaniel Richard Stanard, btw.
