Pro-life teen Nick Sandmann’s defamation suit against the Washington Post got a new lease on life Monday thanks to US District Judge William Bertelsman partially reversing his prior ruling, which will allow the suit to move forward.

Immediately following the January March for Life in Washington, D.C., the press erupted with claims that a video showed boys from the Kentucky religious school harassing Nathan Phillips, a Native American activist, outside the Lincoln Memorial. But additional extended video and firsthand accounts soon revealed that Phillips was the one who waded into the group waiting for its bus and decided to beat a drum inches from Sandmann’s face, while the boys had merely performed school cheers in hopes of drowning out racist taunts from members of the Black Hebrew Israelites fringe group.

Maybe the Post can retaliate and sue Trump for killing the Austere Cleric

WP did nothing less than stir up a violent mob aimed at an innocent victim. There should be consequences for it.

So why doesn’t a rich conservative(s) buy some of the newspapers ...?

Discovery.

Sleepless nights coming for the media. If the first suit results in big dollars, the rest will go like dominoes.

Good news, even though Nick will probably be in his late 20s or early 30s before the case is decided.

According to the Washington Post:

Nick Sandman is a smirking hateful bigot.

However, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is an ‘austere religious scholar’.

Should sue them for slander too. This was far more than just defamation. I hope they don’t mind parting with about 100 million or so.

Why would a rich conservative want into a business that has ceased to bring profits? That would be dumb and conservatives aren’t generally dumb. Leftists buy newspapers to spew their misinformation and propaganda. Destroying the American way is really the most important thing to them. Profit is way down the list.

Allowed 3 of Sandman’s 33 claims to gpo forward.
Big win for ‘discovery’ though!

These actually go rather quickly....and it is likely that Wapo will settle out of court.
