And yet a full examination of the video evidence shows a more complicated picture.
Video posted by a group of left-wing activists present showed that the students had been taunted with racial slurs as the incident took place.

That jerk “elder” has apparently contacted all the lefty news outlets to spew his lies. CNN said HE contacted THEM and they had a sit-down interview with him. Nothing he said was the truth. They showed it again a few minutes ago.
BUT, much as I hate doing it, I have to give CNN credit this afternoon. They played more of the video, including the black “church” group who were harassing the kids and everyone else before the Indians showed up.
The gal said after watching an hour and a half of videos of the while thing, the only people harassing anyone were the black guys in the “church” group.
Of course, there was no mention of the Indians harassing the kids but it IS CNN after all.

Will the jerkoff Bill Kristol apologize? Or is he too busy kissing a bathroom mirror somewhere... Hey Bill - read this from link: Video posted by a group of left-wing activists present showed that the students had been taunted with racial slurs as the incident took place. Its WAY worse than this. Start at 1hr10min mark and end when kids get on bus. https://t.co/xkHrsypOiv that1madre (@Quirlygirl) January 20, 2019 Other video evidence showed the Native American drummer approaching the students, rather than the opposite. This unedited video (with the original sound) is indisputable proof that the Native American man approached the Catholic school kids pic.twitter.com/cFi0qRYDg2 PolishPatriot️ (@PolishPatriotTM) January 20, 2019 One student wrote to a local news outlet begging it to tell the full story about what happened at the march: I am a student at Covington Catholic and was present at the occurrence. Here is what truly happened
In the midst of our cheers, we were approached by a group of adults led by Nathan Phillips, with Phillips beating his drum. They forced their way into the center of our group. We initially thought this was a cultural display since he was beating along to our cheers and so we clapped to the beat.
However, after multiple minutes of Mr. Phililps beating his drum directly in the face of my friend (mere centimeters from his nose), we became confused and started wondering what was happening. It was not until later that we discovered they would incriminate us as a publicity stunt.
To reiterate, we did not partake in any physical or verbal abuse
After that initial occurrence, we were then verbally assaulted by four or five African-American men who called us faggots and berated one of our African-American students for being friends with us. The truth needs to come out. I pray that you read this
Phillips told a Detroit newspaper that he had tried to keep the peace between a group of mostly white students attending a March for Life event and a gathering of about four black members of a religious group known as the Black Hebrew Israelites. He added: These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey. He claimed that the students had chanted build the wall a claim that the student above explicitly denied. Phillips also told the Washington Post he felt threatened by the teens and that they swarmed around him. But the full video makes it clear he had approached the students, who were already there, rather than the other way around. One individual is seen on video telling the students, White people, go back to Europe, where you came from, as Phillips was still banging on his drum. This is not your land, the individual continued, adding other racial epithets. The Gateway Pundit also pointed out that Phillips had been involved in similar confrontations before. On Saturday, cartoonist and political commentator Scott Adams said that the students had behaved like assholes. On Sunday, he apologized for that remark and called the entire story fake news, saying that CNN and other news sources had inverted the perpetrator and the victim. He added that the full video suggested that the students had acted with composure under the circumstances, and had objected to a gay slur being used by one of their opponents. Scott Adams apologizes for believing @CNN about the Covington Catholic Boys fake news. With coffee. https://t.co/Izg0tq4YkB Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) January 20, 2019 Adams added the Native American drummer had also intervened in a way that was unnecessarily confrontational.

Thank you for the lovely display of Indian high culture. Perhaps you could show us the rest of it by drawing an outline of your hand on the sidewalk.

Video shows the adult invading the personal space of kids and bangs a drum in their face. Disgusting behavior that caused the kids to react.
CJ Pearson comments:
After the emergence of additional footage and conversations with the students involved in this incident, I felt compelled to speak on this and correct the record.
Even I, at first, was duped into believing the Lefts narrative on this and assigned blame to the students.

Media pundits pounced on the students. Slate said that the student portrayed in the video had harassed the Native American and had the face of self-satisfaction and certitude, of edginess expressed as cruelty. It linked the incident to President Donald Trumps criticism of Sen. Elizabeth Warren for her claims of Native American heritage. I recognized that look - it is one that says the student knew what the ass hat was doing and decided to control his actions but let his face show that he could cream the guy if he was of a mind....
