A Covington High School mother is speaking out about the viral video clip depicting an encounter between a group of pro-life teen boys, and a Native American activist.

On Tuesday’s “Fox and Friends,” Jill Hamlin described what initially lead up to the confrontation. She explained that the teens from the all-boys’ Catholic school in Kentucky had attended the March for Life, as they do every year, and found themselves being verbally attacked at the Lincoln Memorial by a group called the Black Hebrew Israelites.

Hamlin, who served as a chaperone on the trip, believes the boys were targeted for their beliefs, and because they were wearing “Make America Great Again” hats.

“I think they were targeted for what they stood for... which is Christianity, the right for life, and they were singled out and I believe partially because of the color of their skin they were targeted,” Hamlin said.

I was wondering if we'd see anything from one of the chaperones. But, it seems that it is not a case of "We're white Catholics and hate everyone that isn't." at all How'd a thunk it? Not the msm. And, the lie continues.

One of the moms or affiliated persons initially referred to the black hebrew israelites or whatever they are called as ‘black muslims.’ Some of our dear brothers and sisters at DU were making a stink about that. I can understand the woman’s initial confusion given some of the things Farrakhan and his guys have said in the past.

Not Muslims.

They have their own interpretation of the Bible and history.

People make the mistake of trying to debate them but you can't.

Their ideas are beyond the fringe.

The first time I saw them I had the same reaction most people do. Stunned confusion.

Until you see them preaching in public you have no idea what they're like.

It's not surprising the Covington boys were taken back and stunned.

The first time you stumble on them your head will spin. If you grew up with traditional religion and history you have no background to comprehend their versions of religion and history.

I listened to what the Black Hebrew Israelites said to taunt the boys. You are correct, none of it made sense.
