CNN’s Kirsten Powers: Covington Students Called Classmate ‘N***er’ with Hand Gesture
Breitbart ^ | 22 Jan 2019 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 01/22/2019 3:00:07 PM PST by detective

CNN political analyst and USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers bizarrely claimed on Monday that Covington Catholic High School students referred to a black classmate as a racial slur with silent hand gestures to their harassers — who were actually saying the word.

The alleged gesture occurred in the lead up to a confrontation between some of the school’s students and a Native American activist on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during Friday’s March for Life event in Washington, D.C.

Initial video of a confrontation between Covington Catholic High School junior Nick Sandmann and Native American activist Nathan Phillips created a firestorm of controversy on social media, with both left and right-wing media observers accusing the student of racism. Sandmann, donning a red Make America Great Again baseball cap, is seen smiling as he stands in front of Phillips, an elder with the Omaha tribe, who is beating a drum close to his face. Some of Sandmann’s classmates were laughing and making hand gestures in what some say were attempts to make fun of Phillips.

‘The fake news media just can’t stop lying.’

I get from reading the article that she thinks someone correcting the number of black students using fingers as counters is somehow corroborating the actual slur; what a dunce...

Amazing. I’ve lived 60 years and never ever knew there was a hand gesture to use in calling someone a n****r.

Thanks CNN for this wonderful insight.

Now. Here is a hand gesture for YOU. Universally recognized and understood.

This will only keep getting worse until it costs the lot of them permanent physical disability of the traumatically induced type.

There’s no pain for playing. So why stop?

Bring the lawsuit in their home state of Kentucky. Potential jurors there are a lot less tolerant of the lying thieves in the stinking “press” who permanently damage and endanger teenagers.

And to think, she made a big deal out of becoming a Christian a couple of years ago. She’s worse now than she was before that.

I truly hope that CNN reaps the violence rewards it so actively wants to happen to MAGA folks.

After actively conspiring to put CHILDREN in harm’s way, I think that’s a forgone conclusion.

Why does Kirsten feel a need to pile on? Her star must be rapidly fading to have to pick on teenagers.
I bet she had a miserable time in High School.
