Nick Sandmann, the high school student at the center of the media frenzy over his interaction with Native American activist Nathan Phillips in Washington, D.C. last week, said he does not believe his actions that day were disrespectful.

Speaking to the “Today” show in a segment that aired Wednesday, Sandmann said he “had every right to stand there” but repeatedly wished the group of students he was with “could have walked away and avoided it.”

“But I can’t say I’m sorry for standing there,” he said when Savannah Guthrie asked if he felt he owed anyone an apology.

Anyone else have the feeling, that this whole incident was manufactured? And that it was manufactured to bash Trump, bash Catholic education, bash white Catholic boys who had the audacity to go to the March for Life???

So by this one incident, they were able to push more than one liberal talking point????

Great interview - what a mature kid. Can’t believe she kept asking why he didn’t just walk away.

NO, the “aggressive” people were (1) the fake “Native elder” “Marine Recon Ranger” (sic) and (2) the demented hateful “black Hebrew” nutjobs.

The Covington students did nothing except stand non-aggressively in their own space while be viciously heckled and then having Fake Sitting Bull bang his drum just inches from their faces. They would have been well justified in beating the crap out of those “aggressors” but ofc that would only have gotten them in more trouble with the insane PC world.

Big Media will do their best to forget this story in December when they’re lauding their biggest stories.

The effort all along has been to deny conservatives (patriots) their (civil) Constitutional rights of Free Speech (clothing) and Peaceful Assembly (permitted protests, campus lectures) by implying that both are to be regulated according to the left’s hypothetical results (offense).

Had Sandmann removed his hat or moved out of Phillips’ way, the left would have claimed victory.

The March for Life has been a serious problem for the abortion-loving Left for several years now. Pro Life support has been growing, particularly among the young. Thus they turned once again to the Alinsky playbook for underhanded tactics to try and undermine it.

Have there been any interviews of the fake Hebrew screw balls by the MSM?

Class action lawsuit. Compel Twitter, Facebook, YouTube run analytics and identify every person who has condemned these boys without looking at the facts. Suspend their accounts and have them added to the lawsuit.

THIS !

Yes, of course it was manufactured. Maybe from conception, maybe from one of the many leftist street-agitators working the crowd, looking for some video clips to broadcast.

Either way, it went into the massive, corrupt, MSM media spin machine septic system, which transformed it, and sprayed its fecal matter all over the American public.

the indian is condemning CHILDREN for standing their ground but the indian has nothing to say about the black people saying the following aggressive crap?

[[A hateful black supremacist group called the Black Hebrew Israelites spat at the boys and called them “crackers”, “faggots” and “a bunch of incest babies”. To a black student they yelled that his white classmates would “harvest his organs”. For over an hour, they shouted racist slurs against students.]]

Hey phillips- your racism is showing-
