Oh FFS!

No one talks about how these MAGA hats were SOUVENIRS these boys bought in DC.

None of them brought these hats along to make any political statements, they saw some park vendor selling them and though it would be cool to wear them.

Lots of Oklahoma Cherokee on my biological fathers side of the family. From my observation of their behavior over the years, they are honorable people intent on moving forward. Chief little weasel has no honor.

He's using his position as the noble red man to line his pockets and fluff his ego.

He lied to take revenge on the white man to feed his racism and should be buried face down in shame when he dies.

Go build a casino asshole, and keep all the profits for yourself while your people self destruct in front of your eyes.

Covington High School Student Files $250 Million Defamation Suit Against Washington Post

https://www.zerohedge.com/news...t-against-washington

After an investigation conducted by the Covington Diocese turned up no evidence that 16-year-old high school student Nicholas Sandmann confronted Native American activist Nathan Phillips during a March for Life rally at the Lincoln Memorial last month, seemingly confirming that the mainstream press was incorrect to pillory the white, MAGA-hat wearing teen for a confrontation that never actually happened, lawyers for Sandmann filed the first of what are expected to be many defamation lawsuits demanding compensatory and punitive damages for leading an Internet mob that villified Sandmann and his peers.

According to Reuters, lawyers Lin Wood and Todd McMurtry are seeking $250 million in damages from the Washington Post on behalf of Sandmann, a sum equal to the amount that billionaire Jeff Bezos paid to buy the paper in 2013.

The suit claims that the paper - which helped publicize a now infamous photo that helped trigger an Internet mob that swiftly outed the teen and demanded he be punished - led the hate campaign against Sandmann - and failed to practice proper journalistic due diligence - "because he was the white, Catholic student wearing a red 'Make America Great Again' souvenir cap on a school field trip to the January 18 March for Life in Washington, D.C. when he was unexpectedly and suddenly confronted by Nathan Phillips ('Phillips'), a known Native American activist, who beat a drum and sang loudly within inches of his face ('the January 18 incident')."

Not only did the diocese's investigation corroborate the students' version of events, but it also found no evidence to support Phillips' claims that Sandmann and his fellow students had been chanting "build the wall" at the time of the confrontation. What really happened - as is now widely known - is that the students, who were marching with the pro-life rally, were verbally accosted by the Black Hebrew Israelites, who hurled homophobic slurs at the students and accosted them.

"In targeting and bullying Nicholas by falsely accusing him of instigating the January 18 incident, the Post conveyed that Nicholas engaged in acts of racism by “swarming” Phillips, “blocking” his exit away from the students, and otherwise engaging in racist misconduct," the suit read. "The Post ignored basic journalist standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented, biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump (“the President”) by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the President."

The Washington Post’s Vice President for Communications Kristine Coratti Kelly told Reuters "We are reviewing a copy of the lawsuit and we plan to mount a vigorous defense."

Sandmann's lawyers also accused WaPo of resorting to modern-day McCarthyism to "claim leadership of a mainstream & social media mob" of bullies who sought to attack and defame Sandmann. The suit also accused WaPo of publishing "no less than six false and defamatory articles".

"In a span of three (3) days in January of this year commencing on January 19, the Washington Post engaged in a modern-day form of McCarthyism to claim leadership of a mainstream & social media mob of bullies which attacked, vilified & threatened Nick Sandmann, an innocent minor," attorney Lin Wood said.

He continued: "The Post published to third parties without privilege no less than six false and defamatory articles of and concerning Nicholas, including two in its print newspaper and four online."

According to the Daily Wire, Sandmann's lawyers sent "letters for potential lawsuits to over 50 entities ranging from Democratic politicians to celebrities to media figures."

In a statement, Sandmann’s Atlanta-based lawyer, Lin Wood, said additional similar lawsuits would be filed in the weeks ahead.

I hope they sue the reporter, individually, and not just the publications they work for. I don't know many of the names on that list. But I hope it includes individual, so-called, journalists.

Both, but the Post has equal liability in this. The Post has editors responsible for, perhaps even more so, to fact check the stories and determine if they are really news or bullshit. It also gives the Post the opportunity to distance itself from the action by saying “ so and so went rogue, he (she, it) has been fired”.

The correct plan of attack is to take out the carrier, as well as downing the single seat fighter.

I see evidence that your statement is true. I am hoping that IN COURT the truth still carries some weight. The truth is the people listed above engaged in reprehensible behavior that, IMHO, is illegal and was damaging. I hope they all get reamed.

And filed in the Eastern District of Kentucky? This will be a bloodbath.

I suspect that the jury pool-- even in suburban Cincinatti/Covington area-- will not be of the moral, political, and social persuasions that WaPo's attorneys are used to "playing to."

I will enjoy watching this from afar.

I believe that they were the law team that got a conviction and large settlement for Richard Jewell, the guy falsely accused of the Atlanta Fair bombing by the media. They will kick butt for sure. They are the Pit Bulls for this type of lawsuit.

President Trump tweets:

The Press has never been more dishonest than it is today. Stories are written that have absolutely no basis in fact. The writers don’t even call asking for verification. They are totally out of control. Sadly, I kept many of them in business. In six years, they all go BUST!

“The Washington Post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump.” Covington student suing WAPO. Go get them Nick . Fake News!

Even if they reach an out of court settlement, perhaps a fund will be set up for a lot of those kids to go to the university of their choice on the WaPo's tab.
