Handful things are sincerely universal. But while people across the time discourse contrasting languages, put different foods and even be sorry for several emotions, millions across the people note porn. Without considering being so generally consumed, porn is maligned as the beginning of friendship’s ills. It’s even been labelled a mr fitness gamble by politicians in Utah.

Singing in native AMERICAN language is not aggression to normal people.

Fox !

This is B.S.! Videos have proved that it was not the boys doing anything wrong it was a drummer approaching them and pounding his drum in their faces! Stop trying to stir up racial tensions!

Bang the Drum Slowly

guess who is getting sued for libel? retract retract retract -

Kentucky parents buying MAGA hats for their kids to wear during protest in DC. Hillbilly Catholics? What is wrong wth these people?

This didn’t age well huh FakeNews. MSM LiberalMedia PickAndChooseNews

Look no farther than Obama for the best example of smug smirking

They DO NOT REPRESENT Catholics, & do not follow what the Pope advises. This is the result of closet racism, perpetuated by their awful parents. Repulsive racist, white boys, NOT Catholics.Those boys & their parents would run to a abortion clinic if their boy got a girl pregnant

Fake news. He didn't do anything wrong!

I can not believe the hatred from the tweets I have read. What happened to the day, When people that was supposed to be grown adults would have just said well kids will be kids whether they were guilty or not. It ain't like they killed someone. CovingtonCatholic

Parenting at its finest! This so called “catholic” school student needs to be expelled for not acting more “Christ Like”. Isn’t that what the bible teaches us? You should be ashamed of your son taunting someone who is peacefully protesting! Hiring a PR firm won’t help!

I hope Robert Barnes and FoxNews This article should be in following Lawsuit. 2 days to put this down or get sued. Per Say Damage

Kids did nothing wrong!! Go after the black isrealites!! Bunch of racist space crickets!!!

Fascist apologists

What do you expect when their leader (Mitch Mc) is complicit with the racist president. Is it surprising that racism is being promoted and tolerated in Kentucky. Mitch is leading us to a very dark place in American history not experienced since the civil war.

As they should face backlash. Just basic respect for another’s space was disregarded. These little white boys continue to give white Christianity its bad NAME AND REPUTATION!

Barnes_Law

i think it must well

Native Americans were here first

That's it, I am sending all my kids and grandkids to Covington boom

Indirect : I’m sorry but if u can’t see how disrespectful those kids were being u cannot read social cues.

THIS PISSES ME OFF HES LITERALLY BEING CALLED RACIST FOR SMILING JDJDJDJDNS 😤😤😤

Adults bullying kids is never acceptable. Idc if the kids have republican, Democrat, atheist or Muslim parents, leave them be

How's that crow taste

First, where were the adults at and why were they allowed to wear political hats? Second, i would never had let my child disrespect any elder, especially a native American. Regardless of what prompted this, this child was disrespectful to an alarming degree.

TheRealNathanPhillips

Why were you confronting a group of people who follows their beliefs when they have been cheated since Wounded Knee.I have nothing but respect for Native Americans.Leave them alone.

Lies,Lies,Lies way to word it liberal USA TODAY

retraction yet?

Living in Cincinnati for over 50 years, it is wrong to print this school is racist. I know several families and persons afilliated with this school and it is not accurate. To threaten these boys, parents and school officials to the point that the school was closed today is awful

When I was in Catholic school back in the 80s, we weren't allowed to wear tee shirts, hat or anything offensive to others. A catholic school condoning hateful behavior on the road. Where were the chaperones? I know they didn't start it, but where were the adults EndRacism

I feel awful for those poor kids. Watch the full video the kids where the ones being harassed. So sick of fakenews and this open racism against Europeans. the people posting hateful comments know its doctored footage but are in fact the racist ones CovingtonBoys WhiteGenocide

I wish I could throw the race card around like that when I wanted to 😂 oh wait I can...y’all racist against whites

How is trying to Diffuse the situation with a MAGAMob rallying around in the face of one poor man just trying to play his music and express himself NOMOREBS NOMORERACISM NOMORELIES Social411 TruthMatters2020

Yeah right Kentucky is ku klux klan headquarters

The kids showing up at the rally with the MAGA hats precipitated everything. They full well knew something would pop off. This was a targeted event with a specific purpose. Not a general rally. They should have boarded the bus and moved on.

Fake news. Watch uncut 1 hour videos.

This narrative is being proven false. After watching the 2 hour tape it’s become clear that the students were the ones being harassed. Let’s see if the major networks fess up to the false reports.

If this were a Oscar Award winning movie; it would be titled: A Tale of 2 Demonstrations 'Privilege vs Protest'🤔🤔🤔

Family got a pr team to spin this crap , blame it on the black guys,then claim he was defusing the situation. Why do you need a pr team?

Kids said he was trying diffuse the situation I call BS you can see clearly that that group of kids is trying to drown out his song trying to some of them trying to insult him and one smoking arrogant little a****** trying to intimidate him

Fake News

Where were the Adults. Who were in charge of these brats.

FAKE NEWS!!! The native American approached the high school students. Watch the whole video and STOP LYING!!!

Had those kids been wearing regular baseball caps instead of MAGA reds, that video wouldn’t have been altered at all and those kids wouldn’t have been lied about! Another unfounded attack against Trump and his supporters!

ANOTHER media attack against Trump by portraying the kids as bullies when the truth is, they were DEFENDING the indigenous marchers from black religious radicals shouting profane, hateful things at a priest, the indigenous group AND the kids!

Here is what the left produces. Where jack Dorsey?..

These kids represent ignorance that imagines they know shit.

The real heroes of that video are the Israelites they can say and do anything they want and get away from it

Phillip approached the teenagers. It is very clear on the video

Kimosabi

If the objective was march for life they were far from it . Specially wearing Trump hats they should ask Trump how any abortions he has paid for .

This is a classic example of FAKE NEWS at its finest! You should be ashamed of your “lynch to conclusions” approach to journalism! The American Indian even admitted to invading the boys personal space. I saw no hatred, no threatening actions by any of the children in the group!

This story has been proven false. Retract.

Anyone need a reminder of what this school promotes?

PaulBegala ... Native Americans. Singing is spiritual not fun Would you teach them to go into another’s church and carry on that way?

PaulBegala Please look in the eyes and faces of the boys from your school. That tells the story. Their well crafted excuses don’t fly. I’m older, I still read facial expressions and body language. Your young boys at your school need AT THE MINIMUM cultural awareness classes taught by.....

Watch the full video that shows Nathan getting right into his face toxicliberalism JournalismIsDead

If he was trying to defuse the situation he could’ve just left this is silly these children need to be punished. CoventryCatholicHighSchool CoventryCriminals

Is the old dude facing backlash for “almost” calling these kids nazi at 0:40 sec mark

Try posting the facts. Rag !!!

Here the CovCathColonels harassment of women that day.

Typical journalism- ignorance of facts..may want to get all the facts first before jumping to conclusions...USA Today needs to publicly apologize

leftstasi: 'no kids should worry about being shot at school!' also leftstasi: 'i'm gonna bomb your school!' edward finley

is facing BACKLASH for intimidating high school kids for simply supporting POTUS and confronting them with a pandora’s box of ADULTS anxious to HURT THEM! This is your LEAD STORY a PROFILE in COURAGE ..

The professional (elder) protester approached the teen and got in the teenagers face with his drum. This, after his (professional protesters) black racist group had repeatedly hurled racist slang and gay slurs at the teenagers.. the teenagers remained calm depite all

Not with that smirk on his face. Sorry don’t buy his explanation.

Distasteful. Disrespectful. I'm proud to know our Son's don't treat other people this way. No words. Really embarrassing.

Currently laughing at all of the absolutely abbhorent assumptions made before all information was given about the incident. Way to go, modern journalism 👍

The kid's getting all this shit... for smiling How in any way did he 'mock' the elder? HE WAS FUCKING SMILING

Even if he was trying to “diffuse the situation” 🤦🏽‍♂️the other ppl in the video dam sure weren’t🤷🏽‍♂️

Funny how the POTUS realDonaldTrump didn’t tweet about this until the lawyers tried to spin it. If he were ANY of these ppl’s grandparent, they’d see it in a whole different light! Media. Some are in ppl’s pockets or as blind as the ppl in their audience🤷🏽‍♂️

Fake news

Biggest BS ever. So, this punk gets caught and now his a hero? Give us a break.

Thats a fucking lie. A PR spin...but wont erase the fact that this is acceptable behavior.

USA TODAY, the Catholic school is facing backlash because of YOUR blatant racism. Those teens DID NOTHING to deserve your treatment. 👎

Are you still trying to peddle this bs narrative? Like the wage gap before it (along with, frankly quite a few other things the malformed left has tried to get away with saying while having zero evidence), the story of the hateful maga kids has been officially debunked.

Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The children were approached by the man and the other protesters. This is what the democrats do, show part of the video and never mention what really happened. Just to promote their own agenda. People fal for it all the time. Pathetic!

Here we go with the cover story. Yesterday it was the Black Jews fault.

Adults started it. Why report falsely.

Let’s be clear the only person trying to calm a potential violent situation was the tribal elder. The only person trying to stop him was the punk disrespect high school student. The students at this school have a history of bad questionable behavior.

Why isn’t the whole video being shown of exactly what happened?even the little piece they showed. Did not represent any type of respect?

Leftist activist Nathan Phillips, a stolen valor “fake” vet, & perpetual victim con artist; deliberately targeted the students. Phillips & a group of racist deliberately harassing the students, making death threats, & racial slurs. Liberal media lied to push a political agenda

These kids are not true Jesuits... If they were they would be following the teachings & wouldn’t be there in the first place. They should be helping and serving the marginalized not taunting them...

TuesdayThoughts hate was all over that day and it’s sad! Why can’t we find peace and meet in the middle!?

Poor white ppl, didn’t you see the real Video we the white ppl are in the right standing up to our victims who dare backlash from our yrs of murder rape genocide slavery culture rape and theft Hiw dare them confront us! See he walked over here and deserves everything he got.

Fake NEWS!

Hating people that wear a certain hat. What term does that fall under? Is there a CNN buzzword for that?

Is it your purpose as a news organization to try to ruin teenagers life’s?

This smug kid wasn't trying to diffuse anything. Typical privileged white kid who has been taught he is more important than others.

Privileged white youth wearing MAGA hats. Nope, I can’t see how that could possibly be incendiary.

Did you ever get the real story or just print whatever the liberals tell you?

That smug sneer on his face tell s a different tale.

He’s faxing backlash bc he loves our president. Nice world Democrats have created for our children. Insane!

MAGA hats are the new confederate flag. We know exactly what they represent. You wear it, you own it.

Leave it to fox news to defend the pussy- catholic boy who probably hates his priest for touching him..... Different angle of video of Catholic high school students and Native American shows the man approached them..

Super proud of this young man! He didn’t cower and let the real racists back him down! StandWithCovington

It's sad how little respect kids have nowadays. It looks like both sides need to learn maturity. Sad state of the world.

It is only half the story. God you people believe most anything Sheeple

Boycott the NFL!

Innocent kid accused by media.

Watch the whole video before judging a kid.

The student literally did nothing wrong

So Black Muslims harrassed them, so they harrassed native Americans? I still don't get it.

Mmmm. This native american was caught speaking with forked tongue.

Surprised this is still up: No-one of them were in the right and all were assholes as far as I can tell.

Man just imagine if there were other vids that showed context of the situatiosituation on instead of jumping to conclusions based on the fact that their white and are wearing a MAGA hat

This is not what happened. Why report it as so?

Liars. Nathan Philips walked up into their face. He was disrespecting them. A black hate group was also shouting vulgar racist insults at the children. Nathan Philips is a liar.

Looks like someone wrote his speech for him. Convenient.

Hold your judgment until you see theses animals calling random girls in the street skits just prior to the encounter...these boys are kavanaughs in the making...sexist and racist and their parents idea is to hire a PR firm rather than correct the behavior

True color are in the pudding...

What say you now

A bunch of grown men yelling hanious obscenities to a bunch of teeny bobbers standing up for pro Life and these kids get condemned If it was my son, I'D BE BREAKDANCING WITH PRIDE AND JOY. God bless these kids. Every one of them.

Harassing girls and old men. Not so innocent!!

More fake news. Show the complete video. These young people are doing the right thing.

Do I watch the video before or after they yell to build a wall lol

What ever happened to people minding their own business? If these people stayed home or did something productive with their time, this wouldn’t be an issue.

'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that' - Martin Luther King Jr

Did these news outlets apologized? Of course not, they are angels ofcourse never can they say sorry

So you are not taking down this FakeNews story? Disgraceful Truth

OMG. THIS WAS AT A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL. ILL MAKE SURE NOT TO SEND MY KID HERE.

The mainstream media is not to be trusted anymore. It's quite scary. They fuel these wars between us AMERICANS on purpose and it's just beyond ridiculous. What about us though? How many of us verbally bashed either side of this conflict without knowing the truth? Shame.

Mission accomplished! Media runs fake news, tense racial interaction is twisted to spin agenda. Students were there for POLITICAL PURPOSES. They were there to “OVERTHROW” Rowe vs Wade. Wake up and FIND TRUTH!!!

Sitting bullshit...

Everyone at your once decent paper is retarded, sexist and racist. You fabricate stories about innocent KIDS based on their skin color to further a false narrative... Meanwhile, you completely ignore the harrassing black gangsters language who tried hard to start a fight w/KIDS.

If they were assault by nasty words from so called black Israelites why not approach them instead of harassing this old man, they know what those represent to people of color or they should know, but let’s not compare racist words to a system that has killed millions..

Bull shit!

After calling Nick's family member on a whole in the story she got upset & said I didn't watch her video that I watched the liberal one. Told her 5x's that I watch her's and with the news report I pointed out what didn't make sense.

Trying to diffuse the situation.. That's a bunch of Bullshit!! From what his POS mother said, he learned that hate from her. Sure hope her employer is paying attention!

By stand in front of the man and be so close you where face to face

It always takes about a day for the full story to come out

Any chance you get to circle around unedited video of what was happening, and issue appology to that child?

Too bad. He set himself up.

His parents taught him how to abuse non-whites...and then lie about it. Do people believe in the day of judgement? Don't wait til you die to atone. Atone now.

Fake news. You didn't watch the entire video. You're rushing to judgement by being ignorant.

The man calling this young boy a cracker is DISGUSTING!!!

The fact this kid thought this was his best choice is entitlement

Let me break this down for you... Entitled White People and this letter is complete Bullshit

Phillips just wants fame. Sandmann did the right thing by being calm, cool & collected! MAGA magakids MAGAhats MAGAhat

MSM==NEEDS TO BE==DESTROYED==NOW==OR WE JUST==TOLERATE AND WHINE==WHILE THEY WALK, MAKE MONEY AND LOOP HOLESTO GET AWAY WITH ALL THEIR CORRUPTION BUZZFEED BRAZIL=ASSASSINATION

Show some joirnalistic integrity. The truth is out. Time for a retraction.

If the chaperones were teachers, I hope they are fired for a whole host of reasons.

Why is this post still up? Hasn't USATODAY watched the entire video? Another fake news report by . FakeNews

Let’s do the gene pool a favor and prevent anyone from this school from breeding.

Are you going to correct your reporting?

Except they didn’t do anything wrong. He beat a drum in their face. Also none there were indigenous.

I know what injustice feels like. The truth is America welcomed us. We came with nothing. We were poor refugees. The church welcomed us. We trusted God. It took over 8 years for the Romanian government to give us our exit visa so we could come legally

If you watch the video, completely, the native American walks directly up to the boy. All the kid did was stand there. Any saying he is racist, is only thinking with a racist mind. Typical

And shame on that high school for piling in those students and apologizing without first getting the whole truth. Clearly those students need new leaders.

Did you watch the whole thing, ther whole video?! Quit spewing lies ans hatred! This kid did NOTHING he is being accused of! Now people are threatening to take his life because of lies!! This is getting out of control.

Nice try libs. The only lesson everyone should take with them today is that we need to question all mainstream media. We need to consider both sides of the story and think for ourselves. Leftists media are masters at taking advantage of people through emotional manipulation.Truth

Politics is the most cancerous thing in America.

Ever heard of fact checking?

If a hat triggers insane leftist so much can you imagine what will happen when Trump is elected again in 20/20?,who will these things blame then,who really are the people spreading Hate cause it ain’t trumps fans

Except the actual longer version of the video shows really what happened. I would really hate to be in the shoes of any of the people on here calling for the deaths of these children. you are about to be in a world of shit...deservedly so

Sad Truth

Fake Media !!!

And there you go!

Cnn the fakest news network ever just proved trumps point,all it is IS the liberals hit piece to spread misinformation and lies,that Native American and those black Israelis should be put on the same channel and made to apologize fucklibtards

Bull💩

RetrackTheLie Hey USA Today how about some fact checking. The Natives and Blacks engaged in name calling and the Natives got into the students' face but these MAGA students turned the other check. How about reporting that!

Bull shit ,Just watched on You Tube whole protest.The only racist there were the protesters picking on the school kids calling them vile names.Guess that part don't matter. If it had been me someone gets that close to me i'd knocked him on his ass

How is it racism? They didn’t even say anything to each other. How can you determine its racism? Are you a mind reader

FakeNews strikes again!

Why was this kid left to defuse Said situation Why didn't Chaperones remove them before this This Native American was PRAYING Over the whole situation..why didnt this student attempt to shake this man's hand Say TY and Pray w him..

I tried to post a comment, a very pointed & articulate response, and was repeatedly denied the opportunity to post on one of these major, jewish owned, White hater newspapers internet news page.

The kid said he was saying a silent prayer. So the smirk he has on his face was what... a joke with God? The mocking behavior by the other students were.... what? What were they doing? Is that protecting themselves and not doing anything? They are all distrusting.

I want a one on one face to face with the grown man that thought it was ok to call a child a cracker. They right is racist but yet when you watch raw footage it's the left that tells our racist remarks

Totally edited. Fake news sucks

Nick Sandmann is ignorant and behaved disgracefully, I am ashamed of him.

Smiling is a 'tense exchange'?

Fake news! Black Israelites were name calling these kids

Lying Brat

Complete lie as usual

LIE SHOW THE TRUTH

Mob Mentality Bigoted PUCKS!! Danger to society!!!

It really wasn’t the white or the black, it was the red hat that started it. Again testament to what happens when you make a divisive racist person president. And yes, there’s a disrespectful smirk on the white boys’ face. So young so heartbreaking.

Fake news-Enemy of the People putting a minor in danger.

It is blanten bigotry from the News Media. You can’t put a minor in harms way like that. Catholics push back on the news media. Class action law suit.

Who did that little, disrespectful shit think he was staring down that elderly Native American man?! I weep for the future!

Try watching this video. White Catholic boys wearing MAGA hats weren't the only ones harassing Native Americans, or women for that matter. JS The media stirs up hatred to keep us divided to make $ off of it, & we continue to fall for it.

PICTURED: Students from same Catholic high school as the teens who taunted a Native American man were allowed to don BLACKFACE at their sports events - and openly goaded African American players

I see a bunch of white kids sticking up for their African America classmate after he was verbally attacked by other black men. Are you sure these kids are racists? Actions speak louder than words.

And yet they want us to accept their laws and rules while they disrespect our elders.

The kid is a fibber. Plus where is the adults/teachers? They are at fault for letting the brats do what they did...period.

This is why i no longer date interracial, this constant campaign against europeans. We all need 2 appreciate each other's cultures but that doesn't mean don't embrace your own. I have love 4 everyone, and i love being white. Forget political correctness its a tool to destroy you

And that is what and other 'prominent' news sources have done. They give us half, if that, of the story and use the spinoff they want based on what eggs on human behavior(clickbait). They should be fired too

All we are are different shades of melotin . I mean what they did is ridiculous. I work in a warehouse on a production line. Let's say I just wanted to fill half an order for the day? Would I be allowed back to work the next day? Hell no.......

Propaganda B.S. WHY IN THE HELL IS THIS trending period. Twisted lies put out by mainstream media. This is getting old. Upside down world again.

Finally I'm seeing some of you call out these news sources with their cut short ass clips of what really didn't happen. If racism happened then report it, but you're creating a dillusion of racism which is sicker than the actual act of racism. Hey, piss on this

All of you bashing these fine young men, should get your site checked along with the NFL refs. BlindedByHate FakeNews

When I'm trying to diffuse a tense situation, I always like to cross the plane of personal space and smirk in the face of my elders. Totes normal.

Activist actor, typical dem racist stuff.

I wonder how this young man would feel if his parent(s) grandparent(s), et cetera were treated with such blatant disrespect. I hope that he will use this experience to ŵqw2learn something positive from the backlash against

First, the chaperones should be fired immediately. They shouldn’t have allowed this. And the young man should be disciplined. I don’t know that he should be expelled but certainly a correction that will teach him an important life lesson.

Guilty until proven innocent huh? Shame on you!

Hey USA TODAY, now that the ENTIRE story has gotten out, where is your (and every other news outlet that condemned these kids) apology to these INNOCENT high school kids?

More Fake News from USA Today!

Who are these boys......go

Why don’t you correct this? The kids did nothing wrong.

Young white men *

He is only facing backlash because of your bias media. You people are going to start a civil war and you have 0 guns! Not very smart!

Jumping to conclusions BECAUSE of the hat. What happened to getting all the facts first? Another disgusting, inaccurate story by the MSM

Turns out you’re all wrong. I don’t see any apologies or retractions though, so tell me, who’s character should we be concerned about?

Hatred, arrogance, and entitlement are taught so the real question is: who was their teacher?

A GROUP OF YOUNG MEN..WOW...THEY WERE A BUNCH A RACIST MAGA HAT WEARING DEGENERATES...USA TODAY REALLY CHANGES THE NARRATIVE WHEN THE OFFENDERS ARE WHITE!

Well well look at how that happened

Let's see; we teach our kids these values and principles and the wicked deeds the devil has for us to accomplish here. It's just a part of our nature and deeds have been forever. Only when it's publicised in the media now days do we have to condemn these actions. Bullshit!

Just look at his hat and face It says it all.

Did any of you watch this video in it's full context? I already know you didn't. If you knew the full context of this video you'd know this kod isn't the bad guy. Shame on all of you.

STILL NO PUBLIC RETRACTION OR APOLOGY You helped destroy the lives of innocent kids, promoting harrassment and death threat that at this very second continues! Yet this tweet and fake story still tops Twitters homepage! VerifiedBullies

The two should have a cup of coffee or pizza. No reason for all the outrage on both sides.

Diffuse? Maybe he should have walked away.

How funny !Yes you can say that but the fact was the NAseniorguy had never stopped waving the drumstick right in front of the boy's face for even 1 minute,with the drum head together they could be easily used as weapons to hurt the boy's eyes badly until totally blindly

BS.

Know what you are writing. Watch the whole thing.

He isn't trying to do anything except harass that elder

CovingtonCatholicHighSchool your student is a liar breaking the 8th commandment of Bearing false witness. Pontifex VaticanNews this school is suppose to represent your teachings, it is disgrsceful and they have failed to spread the word of God. WWJD

VerifiedBullies

USA TODAY Fakenews says: SMILING IS A HATE CRIME! lol

Oh how wrong they got it... 🤔

Issue your apology to the Covington students! StandWithCovington

MSM...ITS TIME TO BE...DESTROYED EITHER WE DO SOMETHING...=NOW=...OR WE JUST KEEP...WHINING.... AND THEY KEEP WALKING, MAKING MONEY AND LOOP HOLES.. FOR THEMSELVES

Inaccurate

You can see Nick Sandmann battedhis eyelids with the drumbeats&finally he stood there without batting on eyelids.Nick Sandmann is brave,calm,acting with propriety,graceful. As an adult the Native American senior guy should know how dangerous that he waved the drumstick right in

Still a twerp.

So, are you going to report the rest of the story now? Or just leave the narrative as MAGA wearing kids bully? Would be nice not to report fake news.

Once again fake news gets the story wrong

The group of boys approached a group of Black Muslims protesting and this man approached them to stop. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING REPORTED?

You are the Enemy of the People!

You are such fakenews usatoday. Watch the whole vid. You will see the kid just standing there when Mr. Phillips approached him and yelled in the kids face. Poor kid stood there stunned. And when is simply standing “pure hate”? Your reporting is a disgrace.

AMERICASEXPOSED: Native Man Who Harassed Catholic Teens Protested at Trump Hotel in D.C., Among Other Leftist Activism.

🤔....

Its okay to witchhunt these kids because one of them smirked at a native american trying to get a reaction out of them. Thanks team!

Propaganda USA

Sure buddy.

This also shows why realDonaldTrump won in 2020. And will win again TRUMP2020

The Vet saw the interaction between the group of young men and the Hebrew Israelites escalating &then decides to distract the group. That was a probably a mistake. He has even said so himself. Because now that anger from the group is focused on him.That’s were the face off starts

They are only “facing a backlash” because the MSM and Blue Checks falsely reported the incident. Watch the full 2 hour video. StandWithCovington VerifiedHate CovingtonCatholic

How is Usatoday going to back pedal this false narrative?

Liars

Fake News. Watch the whole video.

I wonder how much that actor was paid?

The two adult groups started this, fighting over the spotlight and trying to get the kids riled up like a couple of Elmo's fighting in time square

Its ALWAYS members of the non wealthy white community that feel the need to harass people of color. This will not end until the non wealthy white community stands up against their own. I mean come on guys how long do you want to terrorize American people with a darker skin tone?

A complicit media faces backlash after framing children as racist aggressors by taking a short video clip completely out of context. You(USATODAY, any others pushing this nonsense) all deserve to be sued. Big $. Endangering the life of a child while libelling him.

Pulease. That smirk on his face says it all.

The native bloke didn't have to go into the middle of the crowd to provoke them. Was he being racist?

Yeah, right. Raise your hand if you know of ONE situation that was ever defused by a snotty smirk?

If people actually looked at the facts, they would know that the students were marching first, and the Native American drummer interrupted THEM. The amount of brainwashing this has caused is absurd

Not even half of the story! fakenews

Yeah right. His smug ass was being chanted on by his friends.

You don't diffuse a situation by staring directly at a person with a smug smile on your face. There was no look of concern for anyone on the disrespectful young man's face, no act of trying to calm or dispel the crowd. It was a probably a learned behavior coming to life.

Leftists are unhinged

OK, so apparently their high school fight song involves doing tomahawk chops? Good call school leader for suggesting they do that..

Fake news

Maybe apologize for jumping too blatant racism conclusion. You are journalists right ? CovingtonCatholicHigh

Sumg. Entitled. White privilege.

And the lefties get it wrong again, the racism was from a group of black people

Plz report full story or lose credibility. Start w/ the group attacking boys prior to the indigenous march even arriving, then pointed the boys out & guided the march to them, after they cussed at & threatened them. Both the boys & the marchers were pawns to another group's hate.

BLATANT RACISM - by a group of black men... anyone surprised this time around?

Wheres the whole video?

There's literally a dude flashing the white power sign in the photo on their website Gtfoh

So FakeNews are you going to undo the damage or are you happy where you left this?

The kids would never in a million years get a fair shake with the media because they were wearing a hat... Think about that for a second... He was wearing a hat... and standing there silently... And now hes doxed and being attacked by Lefit leaning media. Lol. Wow...

Yes it was racism but it was against the catholic high school kids Watch the whole video

The Truth About 'MAGA Kids' And The Native Americans via YouTube

I watch several video accounts. The fraud NathanPhilips walked up to confront CovingtonCatholic - who stood their ground like men. MSM is FakeNews

As always, USA today is on the wrong side of history. Fake news

This got me heated until i saw the whole video. 😅

Ok I do agree the teens were verbally harassing the man but a group of African American Hebrews were saying even worse things to the students. This isn’t a one-sided issue.

Check out KyleKashuv’s Tweet:

Better see entire longer version of what actually happened which will dispel your shoot from hip assessments when you have prejudged MAGA hat wearer. Apology accepted

Let the parents and school take care of these children. Death threats against these children should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I wonder how Pontifex feels about this.

Ok... Sure he was defusing the situation... Lies!!! Nonsense!! I’m glad America is holding this kid accountable for his unsolicited actions!!

FAKE COMMUNIST NEWS

Clearly tormenting the peace here..no editing video changes student intentof the nativeAmerican

First kavanaugh, then covington, with a possible supreme court nominee upcoming CovingtonCatholic Kavanaugh waronchristians

Funny, it's almost as if this guy goes around stirring up trouble, claiming innocence and a victim of racism to the media, and you guys regurgitate it without question.

Wakey wakey people! go watch the full video & then come back & comment. The media are whats wrong with this world! They are the ones drumming up all the hate! Please, please, please ditch the mainstream media & get your news from other sources.

FIX YOUR REPORTING!!!

Even if it was, just because there’s a few assholes out there, doesn’t mean that all conservatives are racist. I can find plenty of liberals that are absolute belligerent idiots. Easily.

Look at the Vitry all and hate that these kids had to endure, no person should be spelled like that too. And then people are wondering why they reacted. This is an in active racism, this is propaganda gold for the left. It’s not fact!!

Friendly reminder

This is the kind of thing this school allows so it’s not so far fetched that they allow the boys to be racist little pricks out in public. No wonder why none of the adult did anything. CovingtonShame CovingtonHighSchool CovingtonCatholicHighScool

“I harbor no ill will for this person. I respect this person’s right to protest and engage in free speech activities, and I support his chanting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial any day of the week.” Nick Sandmann

USA Today updated the story after a longer video emerges. 'The fuller video would seem to assign more blame on a small group of Black Hebrew Israelites...'

Then about 46 mins the black israelites start cussing at a catholic priest calling him a faggot and pedaphile for no reason the man was walking by. One guy says why are u saying that to him u dont know him. (Black israelite) says their all like that . Thought u wasnt suppose to

Hope for your sake you have a good lawyer. Good luck!

FAKENEWS MAGA 🇺🇲

When did schools start busing minors to anti-abortion rallies?

I still don't understand what everyone thinks the bearded lunatics have to do with the kids treatment of the natives.

Not to mention the Khristian Konservative Klan SMIRKING!

If the little shit was really so concerned about respecting personal space, why didn't HE move out of the way of the Elder man? MakingJesusWeep again!

So are we gonna ignore these black israelites was being racist towards the white kids calling them crackers and talking shit was only 12 mins into the video. If they love israel so much move there lol they def are a racist group but let a white person say the n word to them oh

Honestly news people jump at any opportunity they can get to have a popular article, even if it means they dont do the research and find the ACTUAL story

Yes iys blatant racism to tell kids to go back to Europe where they belong

Defusing your homeboys would be a great start maga hat

Lame excuse, Buck-O! We are to believe you even know what “diffusing” a situation is?

Lies

It’s all a big lie orchestrated by leftists including your so-called paper.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THESE LIES AGAINST INNOCENT YOUNG MEN

Kentucky produced Mitch McConnell so this doesn’t surprise me at all. Look at these young boys in red MAGA hats... disgusting to see what values they’ve been taught. Nazi Youth, anyone?

He was standing there minding his business

Lies, Lies and more lies by the Fake Media!!

The students are liars. CovingtonCatholic

Covington Catholic has a long history acting on their bigotry, racism and entitlement. And the adults in the room help uphold and perpetuate the tradition. This is from a 2015 discussion board—the game is said to be from 2013.

Thus is fake news. Why is this not deleted. GullibleLiberals

The group lost me at MAGA hats.

These students weren’t targeted, you can’t enter a March for life protest wearing a MAGA hat and not except to get “approached” or “taunted.

Catholic ... is a hypocrite religion! They are the first to throw a stone and hide their hand!

Diffuse really?

Somewhat believable if not wearing a maga hat

Even the Left knows it’s fake news.

Blatant racism from the black Israelites & the “indigenous” people. Bigotry on full display, backed by the fakeNews

Seeing all of these hateful comments towards a kid who did absolutely nothing wrong is so ignorant. Bet none of you watched the FULL video. & who cares if he’s wearing a MAGA hat, that’s irrelevant.

What about the racist hatfull black. Men shouting homophobic slurrs and disparaging even a black pastor that was there. This original story is FakeNews TellTheFullStory. Great job kids! MAGAkids MAGA

This young man was bullied at the March for Life by grown men and stood up for himself. Now he’s being crucified by FakeNews Where is MeToo⁠ ⁠ now?! BeBest

WTF we all know this Native dude is a trouble maker still hurt about the wounded knee thing

Truly disgusted by all the adults attacking these CHILDREN. Grown black men were harrasing them. Calling them crackers and threatening to 'beat they dusty white asses'. Then a grown man gets in their face and beats a drum. The kids? Smiled and danced. You people are horrible

Apologies are needed. These boys were wrongfully criticized. When the whole video is watched, they clearly handled this situation very well.

Left wing media get the story wrong again. Watch the full video. FakeNews

Let the oppression Olympics begin

Can we just say it’s because the hat?!

The statement did not include a sorry, was not written by the smug kid, and was total spin.

That “boy”! Has the smug smirk— “I’m ready to whack this Indian.”

Media needs to stop attacking children foreal. If he do that shit as an adult, sure. But this is a child in school. We all know how stupid we were in high school. Slap his wrist and walk away. He’s a child still obviously. And all he really did was smile and stand there so plz.

As usual, a snippet of video with no clue what came before. News for the simple minded.

Hey what about truth?!

The very headline is misleading.... obviously this was written from someone looking at this situation through the lens of a Eurocentric perspective (deep sigh)

The Catholic high school is about to lose a massive number of students if they sacrifice these kids on the leftist media alter of lies.

Where were the adults? Filming?

A 64 year old liberal activist agitator purposely walks into a group of minors on trip waiting for their bus. He targets a specific minor then approaches him and proceeds to beat a drum inches from his face. Incredible restraint and Christ-like behavior from these young men.

That's b*******!

The little shits should have walked away. The man was trying to stop a conflict from erupting. Obliviously, some legal entity crafted his reply.

“trying to diffuse the situation” my ass. the smirk on your face says otherwise.

BlackHebrewIsrealites under watch of splcenter.

It's cool the story was a lie.

Saw the video and the students were mocking the Elder. Very disrespectful and so obvious . Not good!!!

This behavior seems to be part of CovingtonCatholic racist tradition:

The entire media will be sued for advancing a narrative that they k ew was false: we Twitter users saw the whole video by 9am Sunday morning so, so did the media: lawyer up schmucks!

That student facing him is totally being a smart azz and trying to intimidate the Veteran

Plot twist, he was trying to figure out what 1 + 1 was.

What a waste of Sperm.

LoL look at that. The left had made a wall debate about a different racism. Call any wall debate racism, and ruin lives. Fucking ROBOT

Backlash? Those young men showed restraint, I would have opened up on them!

If you watch said longer video, it is obvious of the difference between the Native American groups and the Zionist groups. This here, was racism. The Native American folks were promoting nothing but peace.These kids a choice stay and mock vs removing themselves from the situation

Thank you brother, for showing the medicine of healing on a spiritual level. Embodiment of peace and equality before ones own life. 🌩

Bullshit

Why hasn’t this taken down Twitter? And this account suspended

God bless that child. Disrepecting an elder. I don't blame the child as much as I blame his sorry parents and a society that promotes white supremacy. This cancer needs to removed from the white people's value system.

We’re the video of the Muslim group taunting the kids all I hear is audio

Check out how USATODAY JUST DOXED A CHRISTIAN YOUNG MAN. ARREST THE OLD MAN AND DELETE YOUR TWEETPolishPatriotTM’s Tweet:

Keep going after this kid and you will have to deal with all of us

There is a huge clue as to why these teens were acting as if they were the leader's of the whole world including the March that day and it is right on top of their heads, that is all they have been taught if they've been learning about how to act from The POTUS

I'm sorry but if that is what they are trying to call a march for life it was a complete failure because they were only trying to allow a certain amount of lives to be marched for and that isn't a march for life at all it's a march for hate

Most importantly is where the hell where the adult chaperones. That many children and not one adult in sight .

You really need to post the truth. The kids didn't confront anyone, and the shameful old guy shouldn't have created the tense confrontation.

He claimed to be trying to defuse the situation but that isn't what it looked like to me or the rest of the world so it's more like a situation where he was not aware of how much this was going to outrage people who have been dealing with the hate for too long

At the risk of getting dragged, please watch the whole thing, it's not exactly what we think it is. Thanks.

High school

But who started this? See this angle.

I can say the boy has learned how to lie and deceive and release false information in when we have proof of the confrontation he learned from his white leaders republicans and father figures

MSM LIARS. I HOPE THOSE BOYS SUE YOU INTO OBLIVION.

Well I saw on TV news this elderly gentleman in purpose walked to the young guys while others were harassing these young guys the way fake news talked about it I was upset for elderly man too but now I know this elderl gentleman was looking for controversy too

Where your retraction piece about the blatantly false narrative you’ve been pushing? Your proof that objective media is dead in America.

This man beating the drum is in his personal space watch the full video! Who does that to an underage kid?!! This is ridiculous and I would have smiled peacefully too hoping that the attackers would go away in peace.

It is fucking shameful that we have the left in this country. We allow them to spew their constant falsehoods because of the first amendment. It almost makes me ashamed to call myself an American, seeing how they are destroying it all for their hateful spite.

We stand with this teenage

If you go Washington DC wearing MAGA hats, that’s a hateful act to all decent Americans who are suffering under this American government under Satan

This man has no honor attacking a kid like this if this doesn’t bring mental health to the front of everyone’s concern WTF brainwashed FOOLS

They are facing backlash because FAKE NEWS refuses to report what really transpired.

I guess the kkkothic school raise liars

Once again Twitter pushes fake news!

Please list the name of these racists. Nick Sandmann is the one staring at this man. Make them famous.

Smh

You are FakeNews with this title. Wow. The ADULTS BANGING DRUMS AND SCREAMING racist comments at the teenagers are to blame CatholicCovington

It’s time updated the lies they’re pushing about the CovingtonBoys Before you comment, watch the video.

Yes because as usual carefully edited propaganda is FRAMED as news..this is abominable instead of banning a hat,the media needs to be regulated to call itself NEWS going forward..

I have family in Kentucky. They're IDiots.

It looks like we have mother less society that we live in. That why there are so disrespectful to the cutures.

Where was the teacher?

It is a complete lie. Do not believe the media! The Catholic teens were targeted and surrounded and made to look like they were the bad ones because they were Trump supporters! There is video evidence to prove that they did nothing wrong!

“Blatant racism”, way to jump the gun

“I was trying to defuse the situ-“ bullcrap. You werent trying to do jack. You were standing there looking smug with your trump hat and underwear as you disrespect your elder. Diffuse the situation? You make me laugh.

I watch the full video. Why didn't he do this to the Black Hebrew Israelites. He know who to do that to he went after the weaker link. Granted I dont agree with the black guy rants but the teenager was still disrespectul

Catholic sicko's.

It’s a good day to be an American!!! Wear the MAGA hat or beat the drum 🥁 Its a good day and Donald Trump is still our favorite President.

The real white america?

When USToday has to retract b/c they were an asshat spreading disinformation....typical left wing media

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him(Prob.18:13 KJV) Half truths and manipulation do not make good reporting,

“Let’s parade our students around DC in their maga hats and let them shout back at the protesters during an increasingly turbulent time. What could go wrong?”

The old man instigated by approaching the group. Funny how the media puts its own take on it.

Check out CalebJHull’s Tweet:

Grateful 4 opportunity 2share how we are used against each other. See how generative adversarial networks pump out fake traffic in real time using constructed adversarial social situations like covcath quinnmichaels 👀So clear now😎SOCI QAnon

I’m seeing nothing but excuses to justify the real intent of the MAGA’ts.

Isn't it amazing how some small event jumps to the forefront of everybodies group-think. THIS is what's important. THIS is what should get you mad.

What is he facing backlash for

realDonaldTrump please speak out on behalf of these innocent children

Bull sh*t!

So a group of teens gets harassed by a group of African American adults and because the kids stood there and did nothing at all while different groups were in their face they're racist? So if they didnt have the maga hats on would they be innocent?

HE LIED HE WAS NEVER IN THE ARMY

Hopefully you get sued for trying to promote a lie.

There was cleary no “Exchange” of anything and to call them young men is beyond me they are punks and they are disgusting!!! that’s all to it. call it they way it happed.

Nick Sandman is a racist. His school chums are equally as VILE.

I don't know if my wish will come true as I'm not really a huge believer in the Lord up above.. but I'm willing to go ahead and break that school of thought and pray for that ring leader kid to get a horrific venereal disease on his first sexual adventure. I'm talking cock rot.

What I don't get is why he's trying so hard to prove he's not a racist. I mean he's wearing the uniform!?!?!

Perhaps wartch this

They say that they are from a Catholic School I remember Catholic School teach you to respect your elders & other people.They also teach you not to lie, but I guess all that went out the door. Also where was their Adult Supervision at

Standing your ground when you've done nothing wrong is not racism get over yourself. Injecting yourself into a situation that you don't belong in is not racism either but it is interfering

This entire rediculous story simply highlights the profound mental illness moving like spilled liquid across the internet.

The Christian student was the only well mannered person involved in this. This Native American was sticking up for a hate group who hates whites, hates gays. If he banged a drum in my Face I’d do a lot more than stand there-he’d have that drum taken away and ...

Who do these kids see to get their reputations back? Journalism is dead.

Are you quick to judge don'tbeanasshole

Watch the hour log video, it will show you hatred, racism, and perversion of the Bible. Take a 3 min clip and make it any story you want. Those boys shouldn’t have said things, but you will see they, and Native Americans, were definitely provoked by offensive and racist remarks.

Part of this situation represents a growing disrespect by youth of their elders... why... because we as a society have not held other adults accountable for their actions

It would have been nice if the media had attempted to get the full story before labeling these kids as 'mocking' Native Americans. Every media outlet that portrayed these kids as the provocateurs need to issue public apologies.

White Power at Covington.

RayLGar All people, slurring each other on the basis of race, shall fail the test of humanity. Some may scoff, but be assured: the Cosmos will apply its sanction.

BULLSHIT.

MORE PROPAGANDA USATODAY?

Kids do stupid shit. The fact it’s encouraged by parents and teachers is alarming and unacceptable

I’m Catholic & l’m ashamed of the inexcusable behavior displayed at what was to be a peaceful rally! The Catholic School & the parents have failed horribly in molding & educating these students! Consequences need to be faced teaching these boys the meaning of “Respect”!

These boys did nothing wrong and I would be one angry mother if the FakeNews ran lies like this and would hire attorneys for a huge class action lawsuit against every news organization which ran these lies endangering these kids. Enough with the lazy lying news.

Yeah...riiiigggghhhhttt!!! Believe that one!

Y nobody released the video of em racist Hebrew Israelites group as well..those teens got set up..Em Hebrew Israelites are hateful and disgusting..they have no respect for anyone..😡

This is all a lie- the racist Israelites were yelling cracker at the kids and they did not react. I hope they sue every media outlet perpetuating this defamatory narrative.

He should face backlash over his behavior. He's disrespectful and a complete embarrassment. Do t hire a PR firm. Be a man and apologize for you behavior.

Pathetic people we have!

Fucking lie

The 'Black Hebrews' are terrible people

The conduct and behavior that the student displayed is learned behavior. The parents I’m convinced are teaching these behaviors . The kid is some snobbish self entitled bigot and when I was young this behavior was unacceptable he would have been handled by his peers Period!!!

Check for stolen valor. Nathan Phillips, 64, would be 16 when Vietnam pullout occurred.

Once again the biased media got it wrong!

needs to take this down and print an apology. The Unedited video proves this is just trying to start a race war and divide this country even more. fakenews buzzfeed noaccountability

Wish yall would have taken Trey’s side the way ya stick up for these catholic students😒

This is proven fake news and needs to be removed from your site. Stop spreading hate

America belong to native people while teen represent invaders

Do me a favor and interview those children on why they believe wearing that hat was a good idea to begin with. Go talk to them about race in America. I dare you.

None of this matters. As long as youre white and conservative youre automatically racist.

The boy was right to stand his ground and he has the right to be an American also. I stand behind the school and all the boys there.

Very sad when a child is sent death threats and recieved the bulk of hate, he is a child. The drummer was a grown ass man yet not a peep! fakenews

FakeNewsMedia

Video has been edited! That boy did nothing wrong! Watch the FULL VIDEO not the edited version!

OK so I saw something different than everyone else out there

It’s Kentucky you can’t expect much.

FakeNews Show all the videos instead of the liberal narrative

That is not what happened. The fake media like the narrative of a Catholic being racist so that's what they went with when they knew it wasn't true. Once again they have proven FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople

Fake news strikes once again. If they didn't have lies, there would be nothing else to report.

Are you USA TODAY going to take appropriate action on the false story you wrote? We won't hold our breath

Tense exchange? The kid did nothing but stand there.

For those who are too ignorant to get the main point, who started the confrontation doesn't matter its the young racist mob mentality thats the key note.

Well he’s lying. Period.

Not in the least bit surprised that these kids, young bangals fans, would behave this way. Those backwards ass Cinci fans have been shitting on us Browns backers for years. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

It is indeed surprising to that a group of stupid immigrant students mock a real American. The should be sent back to where they come from

=fakenews

There was no exchange. The kid said nothing

One more example of FakeNews Video shows the kids showing restraint in the face of bullying Adults

Why does the media not show the whole video so the people know that the young boy was not at fault that they were being harassed for being religious and white. As usual fake news from the media.

Free Hate Speech from the Black Israelites toward the Native American and the boys created a reaction from the group of boys and the Veteran then biased perception took over.

It’s time the CatholicBishops renounce their support for the GOP party! They are nonprofit and send their kids to campaign for Trump and GOP on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial? usccb WashArchdiocese arlingtonchurch catholics SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer atheists Wapo NYT

Since when did the media give a shit about the native Americans, hasn't the American government been treating them like crap for years. Its hardly the hat the kids wearing is it🤔

The bottom line: Too often in the past, this kind of behavior gets a pass, an excuse. “Boys will be boys.” Boys are not inherently assholes. We need to call this out when we see it. Too many of us don’t trust Catholic schools to do it. That’s how we end up with more Kavanaughs.

Injun man clearly kept invading the boy’s space! Give me a break!

This headline is old news...the story has taken quite the turn

Yeah, when I try to diffuse a tense situation, I often try to stare back at the person directly in the eyes with a cocky, entitled smirk while my dipshit logan paul-ish friends hoot and hollar in the background

Is that a white power symbol they’re flashing for the camera?

Can the undercover and discreet ones explain to me why the group of school kids erupted in a jovial yet offensive Native American chant prior to the drummers approach? BTW the school mascot is the Colonial.

Yellow journalism. Do you people even know what that means. You’re shameful.

Oh look, he’s learning from his fav president; acting like an A-hole than lying about it. Can’t say I’m shocked. I hope that kid and his little maga hat wearing dbags get a cold hard reality slap, the parents, too!

The students name is Michael hodge and very easy to find on Facebook. Punk kid deserves all the shit he gets

The kid was minding his own buisness, the old man was a shit starter

Confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance needs to be crushed. Political and tribal flavor shouldn't be our driving motivation. Our own bias give the media incentive to be agenda driven. Critical thought is our only defense. dontbend4agenda

Whatever happened to respect? That student stood for the worst in our country. He displayed racism and bigotry. If that is the best that we have to offer than his school and parents have a lot of work to do.

(Twitter speak mode) What a difference between a civilized protest by these young men and the violence of busting heads open by hillarys (resist) uncivilized movement

They need to teach two important things at that Catholic school concerning their students IGNORANCE & lack of RESPECT which can derive from lack of intelligence ☝️

Where was the adults for both groups. The kids didn’t bus themselves there. WTH, with adult supervision. Who sponsor these groups of kids.

Young racist smirking punk and the parents are raising them to continue this tradition. I’m glad we got video so we know.

Total fake news ... once again the media has distributed a racist non factorial story. See new video of the interaction if you can find it , CNN WONT POST THE REAL STORY ... these young people showed great restraint and did nothing racist to provoke the confrontation.

The kid is an entitled conservative jerk from Kentucky. My family is from down there, and this is the behavior his parents approve of.

Wow FakeNewsMedia is at it again. You truly are the EnemyOfThePeople

I bet you if we looked through the social media for NickSandmann and other CovingtonCatholic kids, we would get a fuller picture of how awful they were preparing to be.

Racism in this country will not change due to the parents raising their children with the same mindset. This is not acceptable behavior & although parents are to blame, these young adults are old enough to make own choices & know right from wrong.

You should apologize to the students

I bet you if we looked through the social media for NickSandmann and other CovingtonCatholicHighSchool kids, we would get a fuller picture of how awful they were intending to be.

Too late. You are already condemned. Don't need 2 sides of a story this lot. They only got the drummers side after their screech fest.

There was no tense ‘exchange’ between those two. Though I heard someone say ‘all white go back to Europe’. Had some white man had said to someone else go back to Asia or Africa, you wouldn’t have seen this video of ‘tense exchange’.

Why y’all so fragile over a smile?

This is the same school CovingtonBoys just disgusting

Shame on USA Today!

ExposeChristianSchools DumpTrump Toxic ToxicMale ToxicMasculinity MarchForLife

This is shameful of USATODAY. Get the facts!!

Stop with your fake race baiting, lying headlines. Watch the entire video and retract your headline to say.. old paid Native American activist harassed young white men.

Disrespectful little punk ! They were rude . No Child should be staring an adult down no matter what color or nationality. It’s about respecting your elders .

Makes perfect sense. Getting in someone's face and staring them down is a natural way to defuse situations. Completely believable....if you have no common sense.

The amount of false news here is actually ridiculous. I can understand you are not happy with our president and the way certain things are. But to blatantly lie to the people’s faces about what actually happened here is astounding.

I watched the while video. The 4 AA men weren't doing anything you don't see in any public square in any major U.S. city in the country. Most DC visitors just go about their business. It's the MAGATS that feel the need to inject themselves into the situation.

And nowhere in that video showed he's trying to defuse anything .his facial expression tells it all how dare him to try to play the victim. I too went to catholic school and know the racism that goes on twards minorities Natives are peaceful people

Fucktrump fuckmaga fuckwhitesupremacy

Expel this student and his racist buddies.

As a member of the Omaha tribe I give thanks to my uncle Nate he is an amazing human being he would give you the shirt off his back. He has the biggest heart in the world he is a healer of the land his mind body and soul gives to who ever needs it it breaks my heart see this

When you whereva Donald Trump banner you become part of his lies, corruption, bullying, that go along with the mans lack of conscience, decency, or ethics. You put the banner on, appear pretty smug and only now try to feign social conscience. Son, you boned it!

In the video the Native American walked up to the kids beating his drum.When all you were kids I bet you wouldn’t know how to react,also he could have walked around them.Would you go down the street and see a group,instead of walking around just walk through them and stand there?

I was pissed at the kid when I first saw the video. Now that I've seen more, I realized I was wrong. How would anybody here react if somebody approached you by staring you down and beating a drum in your face?

Lol shouldn’t it be the Natives-the only real Americans-looking at us that way instead ? Wait I guess the young man wasn’t thought that this land belong to the natives in history class.

They should NOT have been allowed to try and 'defuse' that potentially violent situation.

All I see is a GROWN MAN playing a drum in Sandmann face & a bunch of teenage boys being teenage boys 🤷🏼‍♀️

FAKE NEWS!!!!

You people need to get a grip. It was a stare off lol

He didn't approach the student, he approached the crowd.

Stupid kid cares about fetuses but not a respectable, older man in his eyesight. This poor child has not been taught love.

Fake news. Take 10 mins to see what really happened! Yet news outlets claim that they're not fake, or bias or the enemy of the people. I'm no journalist but a quick YouTube search could have solved this. MAGA CovingtonCatholic FakeNews kevinscorner

Truth of the matter is there are always at least 2 sides to every story...why is this going viral.I am part native and have many Native acquaintances...and yes they do cause problems and mouth off when they don't get their own way.Regardless of how wrong the cituation...

Stop slinging hate. Find something better to do with your lives. This is for you twitter people. Not the children being misconstrued and exploited. Be the adults.

Fake News... again. USA Today, just can’t help themselves. SMH

Longer video of event providing detail:

Yeah, okay.

The full video corroborates Phillips and shows the boy is a liar who is now using PR word to rescue his future. Boy is a bigot taught well by his parents. The first time his actions and words have been caught. His parents even claim scary black men were involved.

Hahahah trump will hire you as a janitor bustingcheeks prisontalk yaheard LongIsland

What I find sad is how many people were so willing to believe the initial false reports. ktumulty . Reminds me of obviously false UVA rape story fiasco.

Full video. Don’t believe the hype

This situation needs to be fixed by Covington HS. A lesson in respect, teaching the history of Native Americans, how the government shut down is affecting this already vulnerable population, and that Vietnam Vets served our country and deserve respect. Where were the chaperones?

Any of y'all want to change your comments now that you know the truth?

America freedom No Matter what if you’re Respect ✊ and regal and paying your tax we’re all Human being together in The Earth together

If your Catholic kids can’t act any better in public they need to be kept in school or stay at home They made themselves,their school,their parents,the entire human race look like idiots.They need to grow up,hate is hate,ignorance is ignorance.They have both.Should’ve walked away

Fake news

Video shows how the students were targeted. Media lying again.

Every left wing news media outlet who ran with this story, owes this kid an apology.

How we are so easily manipulated by main stream news

I don’t understand. It’s an indigenous people’s march and there is people there wearing MAGA hats which is a symbol of hate (to many). And yet we’re still discussing if them kids were being deliberate inflammatory. Why go to an indigenous people’s march wearing them?

If you want to see what ACTUALLY happened, watch the full video. No one was mocking each other. The tribesmen intervened because a group of black 'Hebrew Israelites' were inciting a fight between themselves and the students.

Well that's a lie! They were clearly harassing Phillips and being disrespectful as an unruly mob of spoiled, rude brats!!

Get the truth out. The left cane looking to mock MAGA in every way. Start reporting THEWHOLESTORY - please! FACTSMATTER TruthWins

This is false reporting. The kids were approached by these men and never mocked them. Make no mistake- conservative Christians are under attack in this country!

I would NOT believe anything coming out of those racist CovingtonCatholic students, especially those wearing racists' MAGA hats. They're a bunch of cowards who now trying to cover up their evil nature. CovingtonCatholicHighSchool is doomed!

I was outraged when I saw this clip. Obviously this kids parents taught him nothing about respect and his school taught him nothing about history!!!!! This will follow u for the rest of your life kid.

Liberals right now over a White Kid wearing a MAGA hat Smirking........

Fake news

This aged well.

sugardaddy If you are in school or on a less paying job,just retweet so I can give you $300 weekly to help. Many thanks.. sugardaddytwitter sugarbabyneeded sugarbabywanted sugardaddyforme

More fake news

Unfortunately just like CNN and the fake news network this dude is we’re not doing anything they were just standing there listening to this Indian and his supporters yell European white boy get out of here you never heard a word from these kids

Our country is so divided 😥

Uh huh, that smirk says 'defuse'

Of course fake new only shows the little tidbit that they want circulated, that fits their narrative. Show the whole video.

I've read that it didn't quite come down the way it was said to have.

So why didn't he take off that cap.. with the childish and stupid Trump slogan!!!! He didn't do that, did he!!!! Hmm x

Please report the Truth

If you believe that - I have a bridge that I can sell you.

Which traditional covering is offensive? 🤔 Top = Make America Great Again Bottom = Sharia Law and FGM LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

No sympathy, he is only upset that his actions have consequences.

Blaming the kids because they have MAGA hats on. Good one. This is what crybabies do. Blame others. Finger point. Take some responsibility for being losers! Own it! It’s what you people on the left are! LOSERS! FN Own it

USA today . Liars today.. tomorrow.. for all time.. Do you feel no shame ?

Did anyone actually read about this situation? Things are not as they appear. Racism is racism whether its towards a minority or a majority group. This is a classic example of REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. maga AllLivesMatterEqually

Don’t let this distract you from the blown call in the saints game.

but you are doing a March for life!!

The MSM is yet again caught trying to disparage anyone wearing a MAGA hat with their propaganda & lies the full video clearly proves these kids did nothing wrong, in fact they were taunted & approached by Mr Phillips trying to goad them into a confrontation, SHOW THE TRUTH MEDIA!

Just heard that the boys didn’t do anything wrong it was the other group.

Amazing how much animosity the liberal media has towards whites, especially white MAGA supporters. People should really do their own DD and watch the unedited, full legnth video to realize the Native was the aggressor and that the media is lying.

Nope! You can try to reshape the story all you want to, kid but you now get to regret your intimidating stance in the face of this Native American elder smirking in your MAGA hat for the rest of your natural born life.

Avraham5772 Watch the video with sound and to the end. They were trying to scare and intimidate the students. Students did nothing wrong.

FakeNews

Trump now has minions with guns. We should all be worried. This kid may well be the next mass shooter.

The teenagers were marchers just went on a pro life. The Native Americans were going to the memorial. According to one mother it was “black Muslims” FFS

This is so disappointing that the media who is suppose to give us the facts, investigate first and who we are suppose? TO trust ON A DAILY BASIS REPPRTING FAKE NEWS KNOWINGLY

What a disgrace... why sit there and stare down and elder with a s*&t eating grin on your face. Just trying to get a rise out of his classmates. Sad

This is disgusting

Take this tweet down! It’s false. twitter stop this harassing lying narrative about these students

....still waiting

'Choose life' for what? So then you can disrespect it? 🤔

It sounds as if the Catholic School thinks womensmarch was a “pro-life” march

You’re negligent and I really hope the kids seek legal counsel and come for you. If they chanted “Death to Donald” you’d be holding them up as hero’s.

Waiting for you to now print the truth

Exactly why was it tense? Maybe because another group of 'protestors' had told the kids that they looked like the product of sodomy? No really, at least all this kept you from having to cover the March tLife and Blexit.

...and Nick waited , for how long for his statement? 🤔🤔🤔

*group of thugs. Fixed it.

What a bunch of BS this kid is slinging. He is intimidating another. The photo doesn't lie. Just tRUMP supporters do.

We all need to just stop. Stop the overt/ covert racism. We need to look within ourselves and find the good and use that as a tool to bridge the gap between true love and hate. JUST STOP.

Those kids are shitty. Everyone was shitty except the Native American man.

Media... enemies of the people. Couldn't watch a video long enough to report the truth.

Play the whole video faggets

If you don’t yet believe the Media is the enemy of the people, if you don’t now, your not that smart. Media jump to conclusion that because teenager is wearing MAGA hat, he is at fault. Always one sided if you haven’t noticed. Media are HATERS!

StandingRockST There was no apology in that letter.

Typical Eddie Haskell defense from a young white male that got caught being a dbag.

Catholics with maga hats? That's quite ironic

Do Your research! Video shows Native American entering the adjacent KY Student’s group! MAGA & start telling the truth. 1st Amendment shouldn’t protect such bussed sloppy reporting!

Wrong wrong wrong... you can watch the entire video and judge for yourself. Don’t listen to such crap like

The news has to do better. You can’t just go by an edited video on twitter. The native american man marched into the crowd and i would say started to taunt the kids. Or maybe he was trying to diffuse the situation between the kids and the black Israelites? Full length video.

Kid was wishing he could do something wishing he could but he didn't have the courage to do or say what he wanted poorlittlewhiteboysyndrome

I just think the kid was incredibly rude. A shame to us all.

As an educator, I see this as a teachable moment on several levels . Our young people deserve guidance and support if they make a mistake; it’s extremely important to get a full recap before judging.

taunting the elder says they’re trying to diffuse the situation. I’m no detective or psychologist, but I’m sensing a high level of bullshit Rn... :/

They are just religious people doing what religious people do best

This whole time I thought Catholics were the holiest creatures on earth....

The fake news does not care who they destroy as lone as Trump is hurt

Retract this story. That’s not what happened

He was trying to put on a show and trying not to laugh. Charming

You need to retract this story and and apologize to those kids. Perhaps pay for their college.

Funny that the media did not say anything about the group of people that started the entire situation.

Fake News as usual!

This is America? I want peace and love in fact.

The kid is a product of a Nazi factory CovingtonCatholic Kentucky

Because of fake reporting!!! Irresponsible reporting!

The indian was singing.....lets build the wall for MAGA followers and really make America Great Again

Watch full video, native man approached students and got in their faces

eoff_sylvia Showing Now NelNaijaTV KingdomOnFire ChachaEke2019LatestNigerianNollywoodMovie Watch, Like, Share and Comment.

you've just tried to destroy an innocent young man. This kid wasn't even at the rally and now the whole video is out and everyone is apologizing to the kids. Nathan Philips lied. He was the aggressor.

Firstly I’m angry as to why a group of school boys are at a rally telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies in despicable Trump hats. Everything about this story makes me sick.

Goes to show you how the msm will do anything for a story. It's pretty disgusting. Journalism integrity out the window. How do you expect people to believe you when even children don't matter to you or their well being? And the public so quick to judge before knowing all facts.

A time will come when the sum of you demi-humans fears will be realized. A metaphorical beast stirs in the darkest part of white mens hearts. You creatures are forcing it back to life with your incessant attacks on your very saviors.

The racism stems from USA TODAY FAKE NEWS. Watch the video. The video is blocked by FB as it tells the whole truth.

New headline reads: “Paid Professional Adult Anti-Trump Protestors taunt and harass minor school children during field-trip.” No way that would be published... 🤔 Typical “News” outlets these days... they would rather be sued for false narratives than gather the facts.

Yes the teens wearing a MAGA hat mocked a member of NAVA. Native American Veterans Association.

Yeah well some other kids mom is blaming a group of black men for the confrontation between their white Suns and the Native American leader?! WTF,! This is the prime example of what is wrong in America no accountability! whiteprivilege standuptoracism

LIES

So this is known as ‘ defuse ‘ I see ..so not ‘intimidate ‘? Just another expression that doesn’t travel across the water !!

Why are you continuing this race batting lie? France is in the process of holding their press accountable. I think they’ll use a guillotine.

I'm trying to figure out how this is news and not targeting a high schooler for something he didn't even do!? Maybe you should quit your day job.

The short video was a classic test for bigotry. Whether you decided the kid was right or wrong would both be bigotry, because you didn’t know ‘why’ he was doing it. Your decision had to be based upon stereotype. The failure of people to see their own bigotry is rampant. Shame.

Proud of this young man for standing up and keeping his cool in the face of adversity.

Every so called news outlet and journalists should be ashamed of the way these children were attacked and portrayed. People who doxed these minors and called for punishment or worse should be banned from Twitter. Adult bullies picking on children.

Full video, please watch and judge for yourself!

Fake news.

As he is a native American he was one of the descendents of as he was one the first people to walk the land befor we come over to rule🇬🇧!he should have the right to walk where ever he wants ignorance by a load of dick head kids!!!

What a good kid. 💯

Stand your ground young man,You did right. The elderly man simply has no idea that by keeping the borders open allows criminals thugs maras SexOffender DrugDealers a free🙈pass to come in to commit more crimes. We must secure our borders, From The Latin Loyal Republicans

Bullshit this school has a history of this kind of behavior

Best method of 'Defusion' is by 'Not Being Present' You had no reason to be there other than to harrassment.

So much Christianity here...

this story is a non-story - dont waste our fricken time

3 Nathan Continues beating his drum inches from the young man's face. At no time did any of those kids chant build the wall or spoke any racial slurs. I watched the whole 2 hour video. Nathan told a lie then tried to back peddle saying he was trying to protect the kids 🙄 lies

More FakeNews

Then Nathan Philips walks into the middle of the boys pounding his drum. The boys started dancing along and after a few minutes realized this was not a friendly beat. Other men with the NA group started telling the teens to go back to Europe. Then the stare down commenced.

1 Black Isrealites telling the students Jesus is coming back and killing the white folks. Called them Fa**ot's, crackers, called the African American students in the group sellouts to their race. Calling them the N word.

Retract this false narrative

Watch the whole video and get context you psycho liberals...YOU are the mob. This KID was in his own space...the ADULT Indian approached him banging a fucking drum in his face. At one point he hushed one of his buddies. The “leftist” mob was saying vicious things to the teens. 🇺🇸

Once again, the Fake News media shows their true colours. Potentially ruining the lives of several young men in the name of clicks and revenue. You should all be ashamed of yourselves you neurotic freaks.

I've commented on this and will continue to as I see fit...1st off these young teen punks wearing the clothing of a national and worldwide disgrace who is openly racist , pathetic , petty, self centered and incompetent conniving individual1.. show where their mindset is firmly

And he had the meanest, ugliest, smirk, intimidating! His vice President of a bank, we all know, mommy, won't save him from natural consequences! This was heinous you can't change what we saw on video!

Here's a better breakdown

Circled the wagons. Rewatched the Kavanaugh testimony for tips.

The truth is undeniable maga kids provoked the native veteran!!!! stoplies

Teenagers commit suicide because of online targeting/threats/doxxing/ harassment every day. What MSM, state reps, blue checks, teachers and others did to these kids is disgusting! I hope they sue you all and have access to therapy. SuicideAwareness SuicidePrevention

Student says he was. ' trying to defuse situation after staredown with Native American elder... ' ICallBS Bull.Shit. The kids were DeadWrong on this and they know it. Lying won't undo what you've done, kids. What a shame you've learned to act like assholes. Ah, Catholics.

I’m sharing this to everybody. The boys did nothing wrong. Phillips was a good man by the way. maga TheLostLeft PCbabies SouthPark

Real teachers educate people to live in the world, not just a small isolated part of it. These kids are at a serious disadvantage. Also, it's said a genius learns from others mistakes and a fool learns from their own.... How tragic these kids chose to be their own fools.

This unedited video (with the original sound) is indisputable proof that the Native American man approached the Catholic school kids

Well it’s settled then. Even Jake Tapper admitted this was reported on inaccurately. It’s over. People who are too sensitive and stupid to realize what really happened here. Phillips approaches them. Everyone needs to grow some thicker skin and stop being so emotional.

USATodayFakeNews

I hope the school and the students you slandered sues you.

Are the news channels in the US reporting the full, accurate story yet? 😂

Show the whole video. This man has incited people before.

Does this school go on class trips in other states over 500 miles out of their state just to badger innocent elderly people in prayer?! StudentCodeofConduct Administrator Board ACLU Pontifex SpeakerPelosi Deb4CongressNM EXPELPARTICIPATINGSTUDENTS BOYCOTTTHESCHOOL

And this is why you are fake news!! The kids were accosted by two groups of protesters. The second one being Phillips and his crew. USA equals fake news

My mama gonna whip my ass for being disrespectful to an injun...how can a first world country be so backward? Thought voting Trump the dump as president was bad, this is absolutely disgraceful.

You're facing the backlash, it seems.

This is outrageously fake news twitter needs to take that video down- it’s only a partial depiction of what actually happened. The entire video shows the teenagers being verbally attacked by a radical black group & then the drum beater comes to harass too.

Come on young man, just apologize, do your best to learn a lesson & move on, I guarantee other people will too, the worst possible thing for you to do is make excuses. Be a leader, not a bully!

Typical of the FAKE LYING MEDIA to take this out of context. No wonder you are dispised by the masses. U r vile dispicabe propaganda and are absolutely the enemy of western civilization

Bottom line MAGA is code for racist and it will not be tolerated

Ah yes. Staring is racism now. Of course.

I’m getting the word “Bollocks”....

1. Where were the adults from this school when this was going on? 2. Why is this CovCatholic idiot smirking? 3. All these boys should attend classes on compassion and human rights as they have none. 4. Good luck on your college applications boys. You really helped your case.

A school sponsored outing allowing political campaign attire worn by those attending? So many levels of “wrong” leading up to this incident.

VERY DISRESPECTFUL YOUNG MAN, NOT A CHRISTIAN AT ALL!!. WHAT KIND OF BRINGING IS HE GETTING?.

Catholics antagonising people? Whatever next!

As crazy as it may sound, the kids were actually not at fault. It all started because a black Arabic cult started instigating and yelling slurs at the Native Indians and the kids. Sounds weird, but here’s the whole video.

Backlash by you liars in the fakenews. He accosted the kids!

STOP YOUR LIES .fakenews stop spreading hate . Hope you get sued

Fake news

Will you be issuing a retraction and an apology to the teens whose lives you have tried to ruin?

The full video seems to tell something else than what the left wants you to believe.

Shameful from the MSM,I researched thi whole event after seeing only clips this morning and the MAGA story is yet another manipulated and cleverly edited Those kids were called some vile things by the black group at first and the Native American walked right upto them

Can you share the video with the Hebrew Israelites? I'd like to see the whole incident as it unfolds. BiggerPicture

If this is such fake news then WHY did the Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School condemn the behavior of their own students and extend their “deepest apologies” to the elder, as well as to Native Americans in general? I hope this little POS is expelled!

This is a disgusting headline. You need to correct this, by refuting this false story. Hateful hypocrites peddling lies like a bunch of flies getting swatted. 👏 these are great kids 🇺🇸 protesters called them mean things and made false claims. He shut them down with a stare.

Oh goodie, here comes the crying part!!

The student account conflicts with the video.

The boy is lying. Do your homework

Omg!! This group that group. He approached them blah blah blah. Jesus!! You have an old man trying to go up the steps. And this kid wouldn’t step aside as the old man stated in an interview with DavidBegnaud at CBSNews . Plain n simple.

Where is the reporting about the adult black nationalist shouting racist insults and obscenities at the white high school students? This is the exact type of double standard of false reporting that makes any objective person doubt the motives of much of the media.

News seems to like taking crap out of content for their own agenda. Whatever that may be. Do your research. There are two sides of every coin.

Tell the whole story USATODAY

do y’all see how it’s nasty disgusting White people saying ‘YeAh iN tHe VidEo hE cRoSSed tHe StrEeT tO hArASS tHe tEeNaGers?’

That short video looked aweful. But did you see the whole video. The kids were first being harassed to go back to Europe. Also that Poor and fragile looking Indian, he was in a music video. I was too quick to judge.

Little boy realizes he is trash and his future is dead.

OVERPOPULATION HURTS EVERYONE. LACK OF EDUCATION LEADS TO HIGHER BIRTH RATES. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP OVERBREEDING FOR THE SAKE OF THE FUTURE GENERATIONS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The media screwed this one up. They focused on the CovingtonBoys even though they were the innocent party, and have been completely silent about the inappropriate behavior of the black Hebrew Israelites in the video. Why the double standard? Do rules only apply to white kids?

This whole story is garbage. The media so badly want to paint this out to be a bunch of racist white kids. It’s all lies. Relax don’t rush to judgment and just take it all with a grain of salt. This is a bullshit story

This is so sad. Parents this is your fault. Teach your kids to NEVER offer up an attitude because it may be the other persons last straw! That drum stick could have been planted in his eye socket! Teach your kids respect for ALL mankind!

Blatant fake news!

The crowd in maga was there in a group first. The native american walked by and stopped near them banging his drum. The crowd then formed in front of him jumping to the beat of the drum. He should have kept walking to the left and not stop at the crowd. Petition lines are needed.

Why

His smirk tells you what you need to know. This young man is suggesting (from a PR firm) that he was silently saying a prayer in his mind as he stared an smirked at the Native American. No one believes that. His parents failed to teach him right from wrong. White Male Privilege

The church full of pedophiles explains alot

Learning to lie just like realDonaldTrump and all the the dirty trash in the whitehouse. trump will say he believes him.

Fake news

Lmao, classic Shroedigers asshole defense

You are going to retract your misleading reporting, right? Especially since you falsely incriminated a minor. DoTheRightThing

Build that Wall

Maybe they should all sit down and discuss. Enlighten the students.

I don’t understand why we can’t ban and cnn they are pure fake news, they are bad for our country.

Anybody actually believe those kids story because i sure dont

A perfect example of white male privilege. Never apologize for anything you do wrong.

He's trying to defuse tension in his group? I'm a bit confused. By wearing a MAGA hat?

Those type of european Americans will not be satisfied until they start getting their asses whooped and handed to them. They all act tough then play victims like bbq Becky. These people are what's wrong with this country and have been the biggest problem since they arrived here.

You’re fake news.

Nathan Phillips is no hero he a scumbag he is not a hero to his people he a disgrace to his people

When have you ever seen racist people wearing MAGA hats ever been a good thing...

Watch the whole video, start to finish. Stop reading the headlines assuming it's the truth and stop crying racism.

That kid was minding his own business until that grown man walked up to him. Literally 5seconds if footage before what the MSM are pumping out would show that.

Bullshit

“Blatant racism”.... Did you actually publish this? Running with a false narrative...for what? Has apologized? Or has any other media outlet that pissed themselves for numbers and spreading hate?

NathanPhillipsActor

Nicolas Sandman is his name & he will forever be remembered as the face of radicalized youth in the ever more apparent racist America in 2019. Too bad for him.

I find it interesting that MAGAs bang on about fake news and yet they are trying to add so many fake twists to this story to suit their own narrative. Total hypocrisy.

USA TODAY, retract this false story & tell what really happened. You are a fake story new outlet. The family of up this boy should SUE you!

The full-length video shows a different story and clears those boys of wrongdoing...

Liars. Enemies of the people.

Watch the full video . The students did not do anying apart from dance and sing . They were verbally attacked by the other group and then approached by these drum banging adults 'provocation in my eyes' . Good for them for standing up for themselves. fakenews

FakeNews

Gonna be sued

BLATANT RACISM. Wow, that's one helluva headline to a story with absolutely no evidence. About kids.

Those verbose God-agitators was causing a negative emotional low intelligence to the crowd spewing ugly and insulting words. Those over opinionated punks led others to react at the rally AnnCoulter jaketapper realDonaldTrump agitators. Absolutely, disgusting.

This is SO PETTY. How does an adult approach a group of high school students and drum in their faces and then falsely accuse them of being disrespectful? And THIS is so important that we have to talk about it Somebody needs to get a life.

the truth is weird .

The mainstream media lies to us daily. Remember when those boys surrounded that native american? It didn't happen, the native americans approached the boys to protest and scream, go back to Europe. FakeNews Check out Xeriland’s Tweet:

More videos show taunts by professed Black Hebrew Israelites. The adults hurling insults at these teens were also inappropriate. The entire episode exhibits poor behavior by people who profess to be worshipers of God. It was an entirely shameful display in our nation’s capital.

Nick Sandmann’s parents must be so proud to have raised such a nasty, racist piece of white trash. I guess neither they, nor anyone else ever told Nick about the Holocaust & the slaughter of 6 million Jews. Your name suggests your heritage, which your behavior belies. Respect.

I'm confused...which one is standing up for yourself and which one is disrespectful to Veterans?

How I feel about this story

RACISM DISRESPECT LACK OF PARENTING LACK OF SCHOOL ADULT SUPERVISION LACK OF SCHOOL DISCIPLINE... All of this stuff Needs 2b spoken about!!

A member of my family witnessed the exchange. The students did nothing wrong!

She the media!

Watch the entire 2 hr video & you too shall see the Truth. The kids were taunted by a Black Jewish group & then the Native Activist group! These two activist group laid racist disgusting words all over them.

the native man did no wrong in approaching the students. It seems he was trying to diffuse the two groups. Then the teens mocked the native man. You applaud a group of kids for standing up for themselves (even though there’s 50 of them) and not him? Your racism is showing.

Did not age well

You are fvcking fakenews destroying the lives of teens because they support Trump.

Another fake news from fake liberal media !!!

That MAGA hat says it all about his character toward ppl of color.

Students MEGA Trumpsters causing havoc Kick them out of school

THIS IS AN ALTERNATE FACEBOOK VIDEO SHOWING THE ADULT ((CHAPERONES)) AND MANY OTHERS MOCKING THE ELDER.

Did you even watch the entire video? They came after the kids!!! FakeNews

Shame on you USA Today FAKE STORY! I hope you get sued for trying to ruin children’s lives by not vetting the story first. shameonyou

PaulBegala fakenews

It’s a set up by the libtards against these young innocent patriots. They were bullied by haters and thankfully these boys were more mature than the activist elder by remaining calm.

People see what they want to see.

You know when the provocation was created? When the first one them put on a red hat

Student is full it. Chaperones failed to do their job. There were 4-5 Black Israelites, an elderly Native American and a couple others, w/ hand drums, vs several dozen high school boys. Watch the full video. IStandWithNathanPhillips

And no proof the kids did anything at all but stand there and get abused

Real headline should be “ black lash caused by news media taking a half truth and running with it”

Fake news alert! MAGA

We blame fundamentalism. We have one in our back yard in ky. 16 year olds being impressioned with a belief they cannot even fathom because of a lack of experience of life. U think they were there because god asked them to b there. The school pulled them there to show numbers

MDBlanchfield How about their brochures w a kid doing the white power sign...seriously.

USA Today is still perpetuating the false narrative?

Your still going with this one?.. It's quickly becoming another 'trump hid the Lincoln statue' debacle.. Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes watching the ACTUAL video has realized how ridiculous your reporting is.. SHAME ON YOU!! oh and 🖕..

Horseshit. We were there. The kids were the antagonists.

You’re doing a terrible job “reporting” this.

What do 16 year olds know about pro life or pro choice. Do they even have the experience to have any belief on any of the discussions the march is meant for. It’s the school that put these young minds here 4 their selfish cause. It’s worse than a teen suicide jihadist training

FakeNews

This needs to be updated and an apology to the school and the kids. Since this was reported a video showing the veteran asserted himself into the boys circle and instigated the event .

Fake news

Propaganda is powerful. Look at how easily these people are convinced that the native is the victim in this situation lmao.

LIAR...

I know that the Black Hebrew group was there yelling at those kids. But why were they wearing MAGA hats Why did the adult chaperones allow them to act this way. And does anyone with sense believe the kid in the pic wrote that response? AND, what kind of Carholic school is this?

FakeNews lies

As always, lousy USA Today is half a day behind the actual news

Wrong. The natives approached them. Starting the altercation

No they don't, that was all a lie, that adult approach them created a nuisance of himself, the longer videos out for everybody to watch there was no blatant racism and now all the news media's are facing a lawsuit.

Holy crap I just watched the whole video and NYT should be going after the foul mouth POS preaching at these kids, telling them they should go shoot up a school, calling them Klansman, crackers and all kinds of nasty vile garbage. Report on truth NYT

I think its funny that we are sitting here talking about some white kids who were standing on some steps but you dont want to talk about the grown black men that were throwing racial and homophobic insults towards kids. But its only racial if white dudes do it right?

So let me get this straight. This “protester “ got his feelings hurt over someone LOOKING at him What a pussy...🙄

Look at their website. Twitter exchanges are showing blackface at games and white supremacist hand signals. Former teammate arrested for this. Someone at that school is doing badly.

This sh!t is getting out of hand frfr this young generation got no common sense especially with a POTUS that don't got none either.... keepit💯

Morbid Arrogance Grotesque Atribute

The gay priests get to choose their next victim to sodomize. The bratty ones get to jeer and poke fun. The Catholic Church gets to show its strength in numbers. It’s a win win for all I guess. A jolly good time they seem to b having

I hate Trump, but there’s much more to this story. Full video. How was this racist threatening lunatic able to go on the way he did? Someone needs to watch him.

More lies from USA Today. Fake news. This time they are attacking the children waiting for a bus. if you want the real story here it is.

The young man did nothing

I guarantee if the were not wearing MAGA hats, this wouldn’t be “racist conflict” or bring national attention.

Love to see a school like this become illegal and shut down! Grooming future killers. NoEmpathy

Looks like you're about to be sued. Hope pushing fake news was worth it. 😂

More democrat nonsence trying to get power again. These kids do nothing wrong , release the full unedited video and we will see who the real racist is. Like the 'go back to Europe this isn't your land' remark.

WRONG, FAKE NEWS

What a setup‼️

They should face more than backlash.

Try telling the truth via YouTube watch and learn the real facts

Correct your story.

You're pushing a Fake News Story!!! The Native approached the boy. All the boy did was smile and not move away.

Indians are NOT a protected class. NO ONE IS. Newsflash: if your an adult bullying minors, your quality of character is lacking no matter your gender, race, creed, religion, or sexual orientation. You are just an asshole who has poor character. CovingtonHighSchool maga qanon

Liars! FakeNews

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkee

FAKE NEWS! The video clip is taken completely out of context. Watch the full video. The man with the drum unwisely walked right into the middle of the boys. They didn't surround him. MSM spreading lies once again!

Why aren't u media people telling about the native Americans background is. & How the blk group yelled terrible things to those boys?

It’s been proven that this is a total fabrication. MSM ran with the story before watching the video in its entirety. I hope everyone spreading this slander and doxxing the minors are included in the civil suit. I guess you didn’t see the boy’s attorney statement.

When are u going to update ur story?

You had to change your headline already, didn't you? So much backpedaling in the last few hours.

This has been debunked! Stop spreading fakenews! The Indian man provoked a group of calm teenagers. Sick of this lying!!!!! weThePeople have had enough!!!! We are coming for YOU ALL NOW! justice qanon qarmy thegreatawakening wwg1wga maga kag CovingtonCatholicHigh

The backlash should be all media outlets, including , for reporting on news that mischaracterizes a person, a child! Shame on you for taking a 30 second clip out of context and reporting fakenews to advance your agenda.

Watch the full video this was a leftist twist and it’s backfired

Lies!

Just watched a video CBSNews has on their Twitter feed now. It's not their normal posting but a retweet of someone's. The man in video explains there's more to the story then falsely fills it in. & Interviews the native man who also falsely states what happened.

New video confirms, the WaPo & this elder man both lied and the the rest of TDS Media pounced on these kids. I hear this kids are suing for libel.

This is fake news you are pushing.

FAKENEWS FAKENEWS FAKENEWS

It’s sad. The day will come where all answers will end in violence. It’s the only way

More fake news. The children were just they are waiting for a bus. When the leftist agitator that you're calling a Native American Elder approach them. They were just standing there waiting for a bus and doing school cheers. Of course you don't do any real news checking

How have you not taken this down yet and issued a retraction? Stop perpetuating fake news! FakeNews

SUSPEND ALL THOSE KIDS. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THE MAGA HAT IS THE NEW KKK POINTED HAT

You mean the indigenous actor?

Those boys were harassed by two groups of adults. Purely because they wore maga hats & we're from a Catholic school. Media had incited hatred & threats of violence towards them & their families b/c once again they report FAKE NEWS!

Fake news. Watch entire video like real journalists of old.

Great unbiased reporting very impressive work!

There’s something very wrong with those kids.

Wow what a messed up lie this is , those boys were doing nothing to that lying ole indgenius man , some. nes outlets are going to be owned, they should all apologize to those boys along with your sorry paper

🚨FakeNewsAlert 🚨 Exact opposite of true. Native American taunts students. Beats drums in their faces and yells at them to go back to Europe because this is their 'home'. LOL. Then a group of black jews scream more obscenities against the youth calling them faggots & crackers.

The video was released and this a complete fraudulent story! This shouldn’t be trending on Twitter it’s all lies.

Yup, USA Today provoking hate mongering. I’d expect nothing less. Terrible news source.

It's total fake news.

That is Fake. Stop spreading lies

This was proven to be false and should be redacted. Shame on you,

The only person I saw harassing is the Native American Marine. Shame on a grown man behaving in such a fashion. He’s suppose to be an example. Instead, the young high school student was the example to him of how a real man behaves.

How is this still a story? The Native American Activist Nathan Phillips approached the high school students. The video proves it. Why is this fake story still being pushed?

FAKE NEWS. Watch the video. The students did NOTHING wrong. In fact, he got in the face of the students and they only stood and watched politely.

FAKE NEWS!!!

I am part AMERICAN INDIAN, and could give a sit less. Why are the outspoken, native Americans always socialists-Satanists. Nobody gave too hoots when bill and hitlery started eliminating names off the tribal list.

This is a non story being manufactured by the media in order to push their leftists agenda! LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!

MAGA fools have an excuse for everything.

FakeNews

Becouse of lies and people who will not accept the truth even with evidence. The left have gorn insane. MSM you should be ashamed of yourselfs.

How are people still criticizing these kids after the full video was released showing the black nationals acting racist toward the students and then Nathan Phillips beating his drum in the students face?

The real racist one's were the black Israelites

Obviously you are showing what you want to show... told kids go back to Europe cause they don’t belong here? This isn’t their country? Watch the whole video!! It’s easier to work towards a unified country than it is to divide it!! Try it!

Talk to the racist hate mongering Israelite group. Those aren’t Israelites. That is an evil gang.

FakeNews get it right. You're lying to the American people!

Show us the taunting by the teen boys? Point to the time on tape exactly where it happens.

Fake news

Bulkshit story

This is a diversion. This is a diversion. This is a diversion.

Kudos to my FOX2News Detroit. Athough they’re not retracting their initial story line, at least they’re reviewing ALL the videos and continuing to search for ALL the facts rather than making assumptions about what happened like most networks!

Maybe those who saw the whole video should send them a positive message supporting the students. One of the boys twitted that the young man standing there with the drum in his face might be facing expulsion.

Take down this article. You’re embarrassing yourself.

USAToday FakeNews Story Proven 2be lies but you keep story up. Encouraging continued anger towards innocent teens. Hope they sue ur paoer I would donate to gofundme for their legal fees to sue u out of existence.

The Catholic Church should stay out of this politics before it gets burnt. And the dark ages of the church becomes the forefront of the narratives

Wasn’t really an exchange, it was a boy standing still with an odd smirk because the old man was acting odd beating his drum in the boys face.

You need to correct your headline. May help if you watch the FULL video and contxt plus read the boys statement.

Go get offended somewhere else. Catholic School kids have no reason to apologize.

FAKE NEWS

Yes the backlash was their rush to judgment. lawsuit

Awaiting yet another retraction. This time I think you should lawyer up. Tired of the constant lies. FakeNews CovingtonBoys

I’d advise every to watch the full video for yourself it tells a different story

The old man IndigenousPeoplesMarch should be the ones facing backlash. Watch the whole video. Nathan Phillips went straight towards those kids trying to provoke a fight. He beat his drum in their faces. He's done this type of thing before. PutTheBlameWereItBelongs

There was no tense exchange the boys stayed quiet while the Indians told them they are European and to leave,

Bullshit story

This tweet didn’t age well!u fake news outlets will never learn!

Are you standing by this headline? Your journalistic integrity on the line with this. You owe theirs families a apology.

Stop pushing this fake news! Plenty of video out there to prove the kids did nothing wrong. If anything, the adults attacked the kids! And you wonder why POTUS screams FAKE NEWS all the time! Here is why!

Very proud of these young men for showing restraint when faced with evil hatred!

The unedited video of the event, judge yourself without bias:

Fake news. Story has been irrefutably rebuked. But you know that.

FakeNews

Watch the whole video from the very beginning, a lot was left out. There were black jewish race baiters cursing and using foul language and throwing out racial volient slurs at those kids in the beginningof the video. The kids were restrained and committed no violence.

If anything happens to these young men because of your disgusting false allegations, I will personally fund the lawsuit against you. You people are absolutely sick and demented. You dislike POTUS and set up teenagers to be attacked. Show the full video you damn cowards.

Fake news along with fake outrage same old broken record.

fakenews. But you know this StandWithCovington

Fake News!

What were the priests doing while this was going down? I can or can’t imagine. Sickening.

I’ve never seen such a racist act in my life. How could a young white male just stand there and smile while someone plays live music? Plus he has the nerve to incite his friend to continue dialogue with another non-white man on the side?

You need to be held responsible for spreading fake news

Fake News

Inappropriate and misleading headline. Shame on you.

Stop reporting fakenews. Twitter and all of you were reporting us are going to get sued I hope you got every last dollar take it away from you. jack

Why do you keep pushing this false story? The kids did nothing wrong.

Delete this FakeNews story. Video shows truth and is promoting an untrue story, even after seeing the truth. These boys need to lawyer up & sue DeepPocketsUSATODAY and their own school district. If truth doesn’t inspire them, paying a boatload of bucks will🛥

Forgotten in a week, tops

Media outlets potentially facing lawsuits over false stories and defamation of children.

Watch the full video. Truth is power.

You misspelled 'Hitler Youth'

They are finding reasons to persecute Christians

So glad these good, white boys stood up to that bullying. How ridiculous that any investigation is even considered.

Backlash caused by our irresponsible media printing and pushing fake news, you people should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is Fakenews, the video available to all of us shows otherwise. Students showed remarkable restrain and did nothing wrong. Why do you keep pushing this fake narrative? Barnes_Law

More lies.

Here is the full context and videos not being reported:

And yet the video shows the kids being harraased by an Israelite group, so they start their school chant to drown out their comments while waiting for their bus & then the elder walks up to the kids face beating their drum & eventually telling the kid to go back to europe.

This story is made up...not true.

Watch the full video!!! Fake news!!! Shame on the media!

Wow, you divisive geniuses haven’t corrected and apologized for this hateful, twisted story yet? Shameful. usatoday hatemongers usatodayisajoke

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT NATIVE MEANS? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Full video shows us his lies and that student had no problems it was fake news

Watch the whole video, this is fake news again...

This didnt age well. 😅

Fake news. The professional protestors instigated the whole situation.

Hope you’re apologizing to these kids now that people have been watching the full video

Blind fools that have not seen the whole video and were not there begin with. I was. The whole narrative of the events is wrong.

Look at these replies. Look how many people were rallied against these kids over your fake account of this story. This is more manufactured division with children being victimized. I hope they sue every media outlet who ran with this false portrayal. FakeNewsIsTheEnemy

THIS STORY IS WRONG TELL THE TRUTH MEDIA! THE OLD GUY WAS IN THE FACE OF A TEENAGER,THE TEENAGER WAS DOING NADA! WATCH WHOLE THING

Are you seriously still reporting this lie? My 12 yr old watched it and saw the truth! You’re ruining these boys over lies... absolutely disgusting.

fakenews Good gosh I cannot believe I’m saying this but go look CNN for the story in its entirety.

The heinous actions of students are sickening but also the lack of action of the bystanders! Maybe I haven’t seen the complete video but where are people willing to stand up and derail the bigotry?where are the bulldogs? This mentality of hate must STOP 💯

IT is now 8:45 pm Pacific time. The full video has been out for 1day, STILL no correction, retraction, additional video being reported by

Fake news

fakenews still trending hey?

Turned out this isn’t true; video to prove it. And everyone knows the whole videotaped story now. So why hasn’t USAToday deleted this tweet. It’s almost like they want people to believe this little piece of an entirely different picture. Kids should sue deep pockets USAToday.

Where is the follow up article when you apologize for running a bullshit story?

Shame on you for spreading misinformation

Is Jake Tapper correct, or USA Today and other media? If Jake is right, should the media delete their tweets and apologize?

BACKLASH is a PROFESSIONAL PAID PROTESTER is allowed to FOSTER this level of HATE at KIDS confronted by angry Black Guys ..

Something WONT report - per OANN, the school has now rescinded its apology, the kids now have a high profile attorney who is now representing them. Sue, CovCath, SUE! Make Fake News Media pay BIG!

.....still waiting

It was the other way around

Why? People gather and act like asses all the time in the US. Why are people attacking the school? And stop falling for the media bullshit! It wasn’t anything like how they represented it and I’m not on either side of the toxic political tribalism that infests the US.

THIS IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The families are going to own you.

These MAGA wearing teenage boys will someday grow up defending women from Islamic oppression.

I hope you & every other media outlet that has ginned up this hatred & violence against the high school boys for the last 48 hours is slapped with a defamation lawsuit. JournalismIsDead CovingtonCatholic

How in the actual fuck is this still trending... fakenews

They should throw those little ungrateful bastards in the front lines in Syria! Being disrespectful to a Vietnam Vet is the worst! Let’s see how they laugh and smirk if they had his peers after them 😡

Another outlet refusing to retract a narrative that was proven totally wrong. Sorry you forgot how to investigate a story properly. Please retrain your reporters and start over..

Beyond vile to see so many adults trying their best to destroy kids lives just because they can even though the kids aren’t “guilty as charged”

I've watched the whole video. Ahhh, there are no natives in this clip, this proves nothing. Nice try maga hats, but your bigots and so are these kids. I hope the world never forgets how badly they treated a Veteran and I hope they can't find jobs ever.

WE WILL SUE MSNBC

He instigated the whole interaction

Where is the apology to the kids now that “the rest of the story” has come out and shows they were not guilty of anything - they are the victims of anything -

How are you still peddling this narrative? You’re gonna get yourselves sued. And god forbid someone actually attacks these CHILDREN. Then all these news outlets will be doing some major damage control.

Fake news. Again. You folks have been quite busy with your delusions lately.

USA Today will be going to court or paying out a settlement

You are lying! The man crossed the street and started to harass the kids! Even in the full video you can here one of the native Americans say to one of the kids 'go back to Europe where you whites belong'...sounds like racism to me!

THIS IS A LIE!

He’s a Democrat Actor. USA TODAY knows this and still lied to their readers.

You know this story has been refuted. You know it is wrong. Correct your story

Pure BS, the kids did nothing! The 1s being rude/intimidating were the other 2 groups. This person is a known 'protester' & has cried wolf before! The kids are smiling/dancing/chanting their school cheer, not build the wall. Watchit's all the video! Then the truth becomes clear.

False. Get caught up with the true story

Incase people r forgetting, donald trump went to a college that is set up just like this high school

Just like your newspaper the story is turning out to be a fraud.

Fake News

Get the whole story USA fake news! The indigenous rabble rousers were harassing these kids.

FakeNews

You’re behind.

How about you receiving backlash for fake news? You should apologize to those kids.

5 black males antagonized and disparaged MAGA hat wearing teens from Covington Catholic High School CovCathColonels as future school shooters and crackers. Group defended 16-year old classmate being called 'the one nigga.' Native American veteran intervened, wasn't being mocked.

Trump supporters suffer from higher rates of alcoholism and opioid addiction. They make up the bulk of the long term unemployed. These people deserve compassion and sympathy, not ridicule and scorn Ꭰ

THEY HARASSED THE CHILDREN!!!😡

Very sad to see this.

This story is fakenews not sure why its still trolling on the internet. They were wrong that is not what happened at all. If you really care go look it up!

False

Teenagers are a good argument for reproductive rights.

And fake news is being sued of falsifying the story and not showing the part of the video where the grown man approachs them beating his drum while he puts it to their face

Seeing these teenagers has turned me pro choice.

Yeah it’s all a FRAUD like usual MSM media stories looking to smear anyone that isn’t on the far left

This video shows what really happened that day. The media lied and made the footage to fit their narrative. This should not stand.

Fake news

That mother effin Indian antagonist walked up to these high school kids and cussed them for being white people. The effin left media is out of control and needs to be stopped. If you support USA Today and other bs left media outlets you need to move to another country...period

This is total bs. Why doesn’t USA Today watch the whole video to see kids being harassed by older adults who should know better

Wondering if you will retract the article and issue an apology to the boys after you've gotten the full story. After all, you did push an incorrect narrative without having any of those pesky things called facts.

If you're going to act like a fool do it on your own time, not in the guise of representing people who want nothing to do with idiocy... Thanks

Watch the whole video. Phillips walked right up to the student and banged his drum in his face. Such BS! Enough of the fake news already!

Except that's not what happened. Keep perpetuating fake news. Shameful!

The boys did nothing wrong and were approached by this gentleman. Fake news.

Bought and paid for by evil Demorats

Bought and paid for by Demorats

More fakenews from the liberal left msm always trying to get their narrative out. Did y’all bother to watch the entire video? You owe the high school & it’s students an apology.

How deep are your pockets? I bet Barnes_Law will find out.

FakeNews the “victim” is a professional instigator...has done same tactic in 2015. You’re irresponsible for not researching more thoroughly.

This has already been debunked as fake news , but leave it up to twitter, google, media to continue the full court press 24:7! The grown man/professional agitator got in the children’s faces ! Not the other way around !

Whuuuuut? Kentucky!? But they’re so intelligent and forward-thinking.

Disgusting update your news story and watch the full video to see the real racist!

This has been proven to be bullshit. He initiated everything now he’s playing the victim.... FAKE NEWS

This was debunked when news outlets showed the whole footage. USA Today jumped the shark.

These country kids have alot to learn

I just watched this: and it changed my mind! These kids were standing up to a hate group and chanting to drown out their slurs against homosexuals. That one kid was smug looking but in the end those kids in MAGA hats were mostly doing a good thing!

Anti Catholic bias showing its ugly head again this time not in the halls of Congress, but by the media. This is why I don’t trust journalism anymore.

Fake news. I look forward to your retraction and apology.

This isn’t accurate.

I hope those kids sue you for libel.

This has proven to be false, why is this still up?

This is hot garbage

I understand there is much more to the story. Before you discipline these kids, gather all the video possible. Don’t rely on the news media only. If what I heard is true, it is very disturbing. Please do your research first.

That old man better come clean and tell the truth. Don’t shame the native people through falling to the level of left wing media.

Sitting bull crap! Recant apologize.

Appears to me from watching the video that we have an anger issue in this country today. The march was for the Indigenous Peoples. Everyone else there was a guest. Hospitality, folks. End of story.

Not true, journalism is dead in America. When a handful of 'individuals' own 90 plus percent of the media, it's called propaganda, not journalism.

Waiting for all the false accusers, and Hollywood stars to apologize for ruining these boys lives is like:

Exchange?

Fake news. Videos and reliable sources say this never happened like claimed. See Reason and others that have videos

Amazing how badly the MSM wants to put the MAGA supporters in a bad light. After further review, it was the native American vet and his followers who challenged the kids and they were nothing but respectful.

Still haven't retracted yet?

This if fake news using willful ignorance... taunting accusation has been debunked, based on full view of videos. Self-respecting entities had retracted the story. Shame on you!

They better not be facing backlash over a fake story. Not surprised USA Today jumped on this. They are all about fake news.

watch the whole video online. not the clip thats being shared by the news.

This fake news is still being pushed! They really don't think we can all see the full video and the truth! Unreal!

No one believes you.

This is a lie.. watch the video the creepy old man harassed a bunch of highschoolers. StandWithCovington

The teens did nothing wrong. Old man forced himself into the crowd and got in the teens face

This literally HAS to go in the lawsuits, thecjpearson

Why don’t you tell the ENTIRE story....

This is proven fake news. Where is your journalistic integrity. StandWithCovington

When are you correcting the story?

, how is it that this LIE is still up & you have not issued an apology to the students & their school yet? How is it you haven't issued a retraction yet? Why don't your 'journalists' do actual investigations & FIND OUT WHAT THE TRUTH IS before writing articles? Lazy bums

The video showed NO such thing you lying Progtards! Is every person in this country grist for your TDS mill?🤮🙀☠️

A classic case of fakenews. All one has to do is watch the full length video and see that the reporting is bass ackwards.

Why is twitter still running the false narrative?

I don’t know who is more stupid the teachers & school who haven’t taught their students that indigenous people are the true Americans or the idiotic parents who pay for that education 🤔

There was no mocking. The Godless Left Media has crossed the 1984 Newspeak line. If you watch the Black Israelites 1:45 minute video...they were the ones spreading chaos.

Blocking your FakeNews !!

This is a lie. Watch the video

Get your story straight. You are only reporting half the story. Why don’t you show the entire video so that people can evaluate the facts for themselves? That’s ok because USA Today will soon be history.

What exchange neither of them said a word?

It was NOT a tense exchange you fools. It WAS ungodly viscous bigotry

Shame on all of you grown adults commenting and demeaning these teenagers without knowing the facts. These are kids and clearly the entire video shows a different story than what you and the media are implying. Grow up.

Fake news, get your story straight.

Just disgusting

Blatant FakeNews

Fakenews

Actually the media is facing backlash for not telling the truth.

Fake news

Fake news and you know it. Why don’t you tell what really happened? The whole truth does’t fit with your agenda does it?

Major news stories that pick up 'viral' stories and tarnish peoples and businesses companies need to be sued. ESPECIALLY, when they pick up the story based on one side of the story and some schmuck videos recording.

Maybe its a good idea to put out a retraction or correction about this.

So he was the instigator, FakeNews FakeIndian FakeOutrage

Did you even watch the video? That is absolutely NOT what happened. Please retract your blatant bias. The students were the ones being harassed.

Watch the whole video & see the truth

You should be so very ashamed to publish this lie!

The blatant racism were the so called native Americans who were telling people to go back to Europe and they don't belong here as if they do since they were migrants also to this land

This is FAKE NEWS. Watch the full 2 hour video people! Shows a group of high school kids, waiting for their bus, being accosted by adult activists THAT APPROACHED THEM. They were children being accosted with racial and homophobic slurs by adults. WATCH THE FULL VIDEO. TRUTH.

FakeNews

This has been proven to be faked with the headline of the kids mocking and starting this. Print the whole and real story.

Everyone should watch this in full before jumping to conclusions. I’m a democrat and the media seriously twisted this story. It’s not at all what you think.

joshfoxfilm Terrible. Are they a tax-exempt school?

Shame on you. StandWithCovington

FAKE NEWS!!!!!! Get it right! These boys did NOTHING WRONG!!!!

Why isn’t USA Today facing a backlash for spreading known propaganda?

UsaToday has joined the ranks if the FakeNews bahahahaha

This story is a load of crap. Minors aka underage children being harassed by adults for the purpose of violence I think that old guy was trying to grab the young boys ass

Ya do know an hour long vid was released YESTERDAY.. that proves this tweet was a LIE!! Stop harassing kids TAKE IT DOWN!! Before the patents sue u for keeping it up!

That’s cold behavior for child that young.. perhaps they don’t know what war does to human heart and psyche before they go challenging survivors.. that guy abused and misguided MAGA just like hitler abused powers of swastika

EnemyOfThePeople FakeNews FakeNewsMedia. Real first hand account with full videos. Not the selectively edited ones by Phillios and his activist goons. These activists are in videos out of them provoking people all day. Get your facts right!

Lies never happened this way fakenews

This has been debunked. Phillip’s lied

Please stop race-baiting and spreading fake news

Lies lies and more lies. The tru video is on YouTube. This guy was harrassing them with his drum. A paid instigator looking to shame whites and prolife people.

Fake news

All a lie. Fake news again.

This story is FAKENEWS This Indian waded into this group as a protest to their maga hats.

Somehow knowing the Native American was a Veteran really struck a cord with me and made this even worse - my dad missed a year of his kids life to serve in Vietnam- you don’t disrespect that- ever. No. Matter. What. Ever. punkasspunk punk nope

Fake news

Fake news, those boys did nothing wrong. Watch the entire video

Fake news! Not the whole story

Fake news

Watch whole video. Fake news

Full video shows the Native American activist invaded their space and challenged these kids, not the other way around. When he got there, they were doing school cheers, not build the wall, although, what would have been wrong with that?

Finding out the real story!

Fake news

Fake news

Watch the video this is fake news

STOP LYING. There are videos out there proving this story as reported was totally false. You are condemning innocent children based on a false story.

“If you’re a journalist covering the Covington Catholic students harassing an indigenous elder it would be good to mention all the history of racism and bigotry around the school and luckily I have a whole thread of potential sources for you”

FAKE NEWS...Hope all of you APOLOGIZE to the kids.

What’s the story on Nathan Phillips? He lied about being mobbed. Is he really a Vietnam Veteran or did he lie about that too? How about someone do that journalism thingy.

As a member of the Creek nation I stand with the kids. ElderNathanPhillips is a liar!

I’m glad to hear they are facing repucussions for this horrific act. No one deserves to be disrespected based on their heritage. It’s time we can break the influence of “MAGA” movement in America. lovettrumpshate DumpTrump erasehate NativeAmericans

Fake news 🤬

FakeNews

I StandWithCovington

Quite literally FAKE NEWS. Can you not give trump more ammo on his war against the news media please?

This is complete FakeNews

I watched the video &in all due respect to the vet, he was beating his drum in very close proximity to one young man’s face for quite a while while the young man looked at him & said nothing. It was the other man w/him that got loud saying for “the ‘whites’ to go back to Europe”.

Kids should be suspended and any kids with parent chaperoned should be suspended longer. Any teacher within eye site should be terminated immediately.

Fake News

Fake news, as video reveals. Liars.

No backlash... this is FakeNews... its dangerous to dox kids before you have the facts... shame on ALL of the media!

Let's keep the heat and spotlight on CovCathColonels, the teenagers actions are extremely shameful and disrespectful, but they won't care unless society does something about it. It takes a village to raise a child. IndigenousPeoplesMarch Respect CovingtonCatholicHighSchool

Shame on you for calling this an incident of blatant racism. Get the facts before making such a disgusting comparison.

There’s more to the entire story, as usual. Videos show the elderly man walking into the crowd of boys and getting in one of their faces while beating his drum. He continued for quite some time. I can’t say it was unprovoked.

Now the truth is clear. The high school boys did nothing, while Phillips harassed them in a very unacceptable manner.

More fake news.

Watch the full video

Just a different perspective 🤷🏼‍♂️

Fake news

And this is FAKE NEWS.

Seriously, you people have obviously not watched the entire video!!! How about you research! The HS boys did absolutely nothing. The Native American is a radical liberal activist with a history of claiming harassment! FakeNews

This is fake news. The Native American gentleman started harassing the catholic school students. He initiated the confrontation. The full length video shows this.

My brown shits did good!

Try the truth.

These kids are getting death threats for doing NOTHING! Shame on the leftists MSM for creating a story.

catholic church officials hid their employees who are known serial child molesters. . so you think they care about their students verbally molesting non catholics

LIES: Native American marched his little drum INTO THE GROUP OF KIDS AND POUNDED HIS DRUM IN THE KIDS FACE! Liberal mainstream brainwashing!!!!

Should change story after seeing full video. Fake biased news.

Nothing but lies, people need to watch the full unedited videos. Once again the media spins the truth to fit their agenda.

Fake news

What kind of school is this, because it's obviously not Christian.

Will you delete this post since new video has come out to prove this story false?

Always the whites making headlines when it comes to racism. They invented racism!

IT WAS NOT AN EXCHANGE

This has been debunked, retract your story

Real story: Native American and African American ADULTS were looking for confrontation with high school students that were waiting for their bus. Students had no idea and were just reciting school cheers while antagonizing ADULTS were videotaping encounter for media hit.

Shame on you for using a child and promoting political propaganda! The unedited video shows this child did nothing! Disgusting what you’re doing!

Forget the backlash they should face for being Catholic while preist molest young children. Serve em over the MAGAHat 🤣😂🤣😂

No comment student faces back lash for creating an internet inspired news video sent to staff members.

Why is this story still up, doesn't USA Today know it has been totally debunked?

No comment school in Chicago faces backlash as students wear maga hat then proceed to hide the hat in a backpack.

Watch then make your decision

Watch the full video... you can clearly see the man go over to the teenagers...

Oh brother.

The innocent teens were happily visiting their national capital while a racist and flagrant grown man intimidated and harassed the group. We must fight his hate and bigotry of white Americans. IStandWithCovingtonCatholic

THAT SAVAGE WENT AFTER HIM. SCREW YOU USA TODAY.

FAKE NEWS, LIES

This isn’t true! In fact, per the Federalist Paper, it happened just the opposite of what the MSM reported.

The Native American activist should face backlash.

Another lie by fake news USA....watch the video, it's on YouTube.

Pushing lies

Take down this tweet! It is blatantly false. Twitter should suspend you for causing harm to children.

Fake news!

I am only 1/16 Native American, but I wish I was 100%. The boy taunting the Eder should be deported from this country!

Your right, Nathan is a racist, not his first trip around the bon-fire. He incited this incident.

you mY want to retract the story.

Watch the 2 hr video for yourself. The boys were stationary. The NA pushed his way into their group.

Delete this.

Y’all going to take this down and issue a retraction yet

This is a lie & you are aware shame on you leaving this FakeNews up UsaTodayFakeNews

More fake Christians full f hate! When will this end?

Probably time to retract this.

This is fake news. My gawd. You can’t tell me you haven’t caught wind of what really happened already yet here you are still spreading fakery and could care less how your reckless news can hurt children

Another blown report. Please get the facts in the future. Thanks.

Check further in this story. Those kids did nothing wrong and stood there while a Native American beat the drum in their faces. Check out videos for the truth

I also told myself I ain't going to Ketucky.... ALOT of white people scare me because they seem to have such a sense of entitlement and a blatant disregard for other humans that I just CANT. I could and would never.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU DELETED THIS ERRONEOUS AND DANGEROUS TWEET?

Democrats at their bias lies again. Kids looked to be just having fun. No hate. I think the Catholic kid was just standing there, wonder why this guy was beating a drum in his face. Those kids were just waiting for the bus. Fake news is strong with this one.

I watched that video and saw an Indian guy beating his drum right in a kids face. Didn't see the kid do anything.

Try doing some real reporting. Your story is backwards.

More BS reporting

Fake news!

Fake news

Watch the full video, the narrative is bullshit.

Watch the full video bf u spread hate. U divide us & ruin lives in America !!

Propaganda 101 - please watch all of the videos - this is not what happened - guy came up and drummed in his face

That's a bullshit lie story and whoever wrote it should be ashamed except that we know most liberals seem to have no concience these days

Privileged PsOS.

I don’t get what is racist and taunting about a boy standing and looking. Everyone needs to watch the whole video.

False story. Please add to the lawsuit! Barnes_Law thecjpearson

ALL of the kids involved should be ashamed. And where were their chaperones? I can't believe this kid's mom is trying to excuse this bullying, racist behavior. bullies magateens

Fake news why is this still up!!

They need to.We all should be thankful for his services.

Oh look. USA Today wants to be the next Buzzfeed. And to think, I used to respect journalists so much I wanted to be one. FakeNews

Perfect example of FAKE NEWS! These boys weren’t harassing anyone. They were the ones being harassed!

As the granddaughter of a WWII Native American vet, this breaks my heart.

Did anyone get the part where trump wants part of his wall on Indian land? We cannot approve that trump wall.

I’m sure the parents of those kids are so proud ‘n

Still with the divisive race-baiting bs huh?

Moar fake news

More BS fake news. Who was the real aggressor?

A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL , A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ... A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

Don’t you think you should delete this proven lie? Barnes_Law

Does even HAVE investigative reporters? If you did, you'd have watched THIS - seems the yelling, racist, angry ones were the adults. The kids just walked into an Native Amer vs Black Jews match. Dicey Dicey.

It is a lie

This was not an exchange, it was a group of kids being very disrespectful to Elders in the Native Community.

The group set up this crap 💩 look at entire video

Tense exchange. Yeah, standing there is a tense exchange

And you label it “Blatant Racism”? More FAKE NEWS pushing the agenda... PATHLETIC!

It’d be so great if the media would actually report things accurately

Hey, how about the TRUTH for a change

Has it occurred to anyone that this is a bogus attempt to lay something like this on Donald Trump's doorstep? This smacks much more of the kind of BS the Left is so fond of slinging. I suggest a bit of investigative work is in order. Not the kind of thing a true American does.

Now THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!!! What do you call an adult man who preys on and stalks young boys? They are called pedophiles ! Why is nobody asking why a grown ass man was stalking a group of young boys?

This is fake news. You are fake news. FAKENEWSALERT

This story and this headline is everything wrong with the media. You are a bunch of liars.

Retract and apologize to the students and school.

Just another news story gone wrong. Are u 0-3 this week? The 16-year-olds were called names like crackers, being taunted about their MAGA hats by a black Israel group, & then the Indian drummer WENT OVER to the kids. Did u see the full video? I did. FakeNewsMedia Liars

Are you going to officially recount the story? Now that the truth is out? Even CNN is apologizing

How about you show the whole video. Where the kids were praying and Native American gentleman and use the term gentleman loosely. Went over and interiors they kids. Just another example of shitty reporting and halfassed at best.

How many times do you think we're going to accept you FAKE NEWS outlets attacking our kids? Lying 24/7 about this even when MULTIPLE videos show the whole story is a COMPLETE falsehood is beyond the pale. You're a disgrace USA You're Fake News

fakenews, try again.

Are you going to correct this? Fake news

And now the truth is revealed.

These boys are thugs. They’re part of a gang that was originally going to intimidate women. They are being taught to bully their way through life, taking what they think they deserve. The “pro life” movement has always been anti-woman. CovingtonCatholic

Real tough of them to surround a Vietnam veteran and mock him ... such real tough people. Bet you when people approach the people in the videos they will get real scared quick ...

Mfw he provoked it

4)Fed lies from people and organizations that you trust, yet willing to turn a blind eye, so long as the 'story' is a negative mark for the 'other team'? Seems the whole fake news cry..wasnt such bullshit after all huh?

3) I'm not saying you should get on board with Trump, but maybe, take a step back and see you're being led as sheep and apparently willingly

Watch the full video - do your homework before ruining kid's lives. The adult protestors were the racist. Journalism like this hurts journalism!

2)Are you so intoxicated with rage for Donald Trump, that you desperately want these things to be true, or just don't care about truth anymore, so long as it advances your agenda?

Retract already WTF

You kidding me. This is some of the most fake news I've ever heard. Shame on you

Okay I just watched the stream and saw nothing racist at all The only thing that could be seen as disrespectful were that some kids were dancing a little. Name me one truth as to how they were racist and I’ll believe your story

All ready proven to be bullshit. The kids are innocent.

According to many people commenting out of their ass on this, since the native american walked over to try and talk with these young ass hats it justifies their disgusting behavior 👍

Time to get civility back..

Maga students of hate

Great

You need to retract the untrue story

When I saw the 1st video yesterday, I was infuriated at the boy disrespecting the Elder. I just finished watching the WHOLE unedited video of what happened and these boys were totally set up! I hope the school sues the hell out of MSM that have placed these kids in jeopardy! 😡

Behavior is learned, taught and engendered. School, parents and community. Those boys represent who they are, where they come from and what they are taught. RacistRedHats catholicschools

Yer a blatant liar! Post the whole video, it shows the Indians instigating the whole thing & y’all just show a small clip of the boy standing & smiling had this been ANTIFA or liberals & a conservative Indian in a MAGA hat, there would’ve been a fight & MSM silence! Hypocrites!🙄

The indian and the MSM are full of shit... watch the WHOLE video

Why spread lies?

FakeNews again...

Nope no way your not getting away with destroying these kids life that easy. This was a lie; you perpetuated it and when it was found out there was video this is how you neutralize your credibility.

More fake news!!!! As our great President says, fake news is the enemy. The media has no integrity, shame or self awareness. The cleansing of your industry will be a great step forward for our country

The liberal liars should be ashamed, but they have no shame!

Fake News.

Q: why would a “Christian” school support DT who bragged abt grabbing women by genitals, cheated on 3 wives, paid hush $$ 2 porn stars, his team collided w Russia, his refusal 2 declare his 2013-2017 taxes, lied Mexico pays 4 wall, no $$ 4 fed employees.etc?

Usatoday champion of Fake News.

Another fake news story by leftist radicals. Again proven false. This only works against useful idiots. Not against people who can use critical thinking skills.

I love the Fake News.

Lies lies lies

It’s a good day when the Democrat Propoganda arm CNN calls out USAToday another propaganda publication. After picking on these kids, I am really starting to dislike liberals and journalists.

realDonaldTrump would it be too much POTUS to publicly state that MAGA doesn’t stand for what these kids think it does and the message is wrong ? This is your base ! Please

Wrong again!

This is a misleading headline. Tell the real story.

How about a full uncut full video of what really happened? By the very black people the media said allegedly 'harassed by white kids wearing MAGA hats'? Even they said the kids are innocent.

Fake news.

The biggest problem we have now a days is people speaking on issues before they even have half the facts . . . people think their first impression of a situation is gospel. It's dumbing us down as a country and it's truly pathetic how little people even attempt to fact check

Because lying media didn’t present the whole story. You are not “journalists,” you are propagandists. What you have done, and continue to do, is wrong and America won’t stand for much more.

The school, the spoiled entitled brats, and their parents need to realize agressive behaviour such as this, shows the hollow values of conservative Christians. Jesus would not be pleased.

Wrong - you need to update this story. FakeNews

It’s all lies .....FAKE NEWS!!!!! Take this post down you are complicit in spreading lies

Yeah this busts up your narrative

This rag is making up crap again

Why isn't all if the videos that prove that this was not the case at all trending? More FakeNewsMedia

Those kids didn't do anything! Liberal propaganda at it's worse! Watch the entire sequence of events.

All based on a LIE. The kids from the school did nothing wrong.

Why exactly is the assumption that the kids were in the wrong? You see a video of people face to face and you assume the native dude is completely in the right and the white kids are completely in the wrong. You're not logical at all . . .

I hope you get sued for lies

Wow did you get the whole video or are you telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I’m hearing and reading contradicting stories and seeing the news is now face and nobody can believe it, isn’t it just a cry wolf now? Yes. MSM ruined its cred and video edits

The adult picked a fight with the students who had shown up to express their beliefs.

There are always two sides to a story. The truth comes out, leftist media like CNN should be ashamed. realDonaldTrump SpeakerPelosi

Fake News!

The 2 hour complete video shows 'Nathan' walk up to the kids while adults yell at them - racist, homophobic taunts. These kids showed great restraint! I so want CovingtonCatholic to SUE the pants off Nathan, the media for defamation!

If you haven’t watched this video.....start around min. 46.....and still blame the high school students for the encounter.....you are ignorant.

What do the boys think MAGA means when they wear them ? Do they wear these hats everyday ?

The blatant racism here is some white kids wearing MAGA hats being accosted while waiting for a bus.

Just when I thought people couldn't hate whites any more, I see this. All your outrage towards white people for being white is justified and definitely not bigoted or racist in any way.

I actually went to Cov Cath for 2 yrs.. It's a great school with great young men, but this was uncalled for. Young people make mistakes tho, as well as everyone else in the world. Hopefully he'll become a better man and learn from this.. No reason to treat anyone with disrespect

Except they didn’t and the man was the one harassing the kids. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Time to admit you are fake news

This false narrative is still trending? 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️ No bias on twitter... none at all...

Boy this story didn't age well. Maybe you should stop writing garbage based off a few clips and actually be journalists and repost the whole story first before you endanger kids lives. Anything to fit your anti-Trump narrative. Sad and ignorant.

Stop the both sides nonsense. There was no exchange. The Native American elder was being bullied and intimidated by young men wearing MAGA caps.

Hillbilly punks will be hillbilly punks (extra hillbilly points for the maga hats)

Video surfaced disputing this claim. These students should get medal for suffering thru such a hateful old man & his friends. Child abuse. SupportCovingtonCatholic Maybe POTUS can invite them to the WhiteHouse once SpeakerPelosi ends her petty vindictive Shutdown.

FakeNews Retract

This headline is a total lie. If you watch the WHOLE video you will see that these boys were approached deliberately with the intent of putting them in an awkward situation and then editing the video to make them look like they did something wrong!!

Please, , keep this story going. Please Twitter Jack, keep posting & defaming this Catholic school. They are preparing to sue, because they have VIDEO evidence that dear Nathan is a FRAUD who walked up to the kids along w/ others who yelled homophonic, RACIST taunts

Fix this headline! That is not what happened and you know it!

More FakeNews This is just MobsAttackingChildren Here is the full video for you to search your 'facts'

What do you expect in a state that has been under Democratic rule for DECADES? Water restrictions, race relations at the lowest in the COUNTRY?! Republican governed states, however, do MUCH BETTER, are much more connected... and yes, I realize Washington, D.C. is a DISTRICT! DUH!

Where blatant racism is described as a “Tense exchange” - the media continually fails us. They actually are putting racists and the *victims* of racism on equal moral footing.

When do you retract this fake news?

The school is facing backlash!!! Absolutely absurd!

The HS kids didn’t do anything wrong. Watch the videos

ONCE AGAIN! FAKE NEWS! Not only did these kids ENDURE racist, homophobic slurs from ADULTS, so called poor guy Nathan actually on video approaching the kids! MORE evidence that Media & Twitter is ANTI-Catholic, ANTI-Christian! Shame on YOU, ! Fake News!

Liberal MSM is of course spreading fake news. Show the entire clip!

What an intense and disrespectful exchange, a kid and a Native American veteran just looking at each other one smiling the other beating his drum. Didn’t realize smiling is considered disrespectful.

Wow! A school can not apologize away the crap their (no doubt) Proud parents taught them. Crusify the little shit heads.

Exchange wasnt the word I would have used. Harassed. Attacked. Verbally assaulted.

This is complete B.S. - I watched the entire video, these kids were targeted by grown men. The supposed victims are nothing but perps and should be locked up. Period. You are spreading fakenews again.

Fuck that native guy, he came across the plaza to get right in the kids face the kid conducted him self admirably.

Watch the whole video, the natives walk up to bully the kids

Just curious. Now that this has been proven as a false flag where are the apologies owed to the school and kids from the sheep that jumped at the chance to attack them on social media...I'll wait...

This may help with your enquiry factsfirst

Exchange?

What a sham! The truth is liberating, but new media wouldn’t know the truth if it fell out the sky and landed on their head. The children are being victimized.

Y'all need to watch ALL of the footage. Black Isrealites were 'accusing' the catholic kids of homosexuality (I thought that was mean-spirited in many ways), and then the native gentleman approached them. Another native told the kids to go back to Europe.

Fake News. The kids were there on the steps doing nothing wrong when the 'Victim ' approached them and stood in front of the 'Harrasser' banging his drum in the kids face.

Fake news

It doesn’t matter that there is video evidence contradicting this the kids are in the wrong for being raised on stolen land

Libel

I watched the whole video, maybe you should too. They were standing their ground. Stop making shit up.

This has already been proven to be fake news when in fact it was the 'native American' who instigated the confrontation... Where is your apology?

You should delete your fakenews account

How about the other group that actually caused the confrontation?

Fake News again Twitter keeps pushing this fake story

Video of the guy with the drum going up the the group of boys

No, that old dude got in his face cause he's a Trump hater and tried to intimidate him. Tough guy with a drum. That kid did nothing wrong. God forbid you love our country and our President. All he did was smile and makes him a racist?

You should probably play the full video

According to people that were actually there, this guy walked up to the group and began banging his drum in their face. So let’s put the blame where it’s due, in the guy with the drum. It would be nice if the media would be truthful. Plus, the young man did nothing to him.

It’s becoming clear why oligarchs invested billions in disaggregated “social” media. They can always rewrite, reframe, recast, reinterpret any story. The little people (“trolls”) are relegated to debating news with plutocrats on Twitter. Meanwhile, democracy is being subverted.

Watch the entire video. Why aren’t the black guys yelling the ‘N’ word being held accountable? The high-schoolers were already standing on the steps & the Native drummer guy walks up to them! Why are so many so gullible? Know the facts before you judge.

MagaHansen That was already proven false by watching the whole video. You should be sued! In fact, Nathan Philips got in the kid’s face with his drum!

FakeNewsMedia the native American harrassed the boys who never chanted build the wall.

It a hate hoax

Maybe you should have watched the whole footage. The students didn’t do anything wrong. This is lazy reporting.

Good. They are disgusting. Hope the school and their parents are proud they're raising Trumps young white supremacist protegés...or future GOP politicians.

Because you're interested in the truth and not narrative:

Why is this falsehood trending on twitter twittersupport Shame on you😡

Everything is not about racism, it’s blatant disrespect and kids trying to be funny! The behavior was not funny. We were all kids and before we went on school trips and we warned that we are representing the school

How about you write the truth now. The “indegenous marchers” instigated the whole episode. So much for you journalistic standards.

I fell for it. You got me. The truth is slowly coming out but how many will never know the real story?

🤗

Omg I watched the video. An Al Sharpton wannabe instigated both sides. Insulting the Native Americans , he was so ignorant he couldn’t even speak right. How in the hell did this fake story about the kids get started

Not true!!!

This high school will not face backlash UNLESS they try and punish these boys. God wants us to have boundaries and some guy marching right up to your group beating a damn drum is not respecting boundaries. God bless these boys.

It is hard to control the ill behavior of all people MarchforLife. But any misbehavior must be concerned.

MSM propaganda machine running full bore.

Glad that there was someone videoing the whole incident to prove that this was FakeNews!! FakeNewsMedia FakeJournalism FakeOutrage FakeAccusations covingtoncatholic MAGA KeepAmericaGreat Trump2020

What do you expect from the Marxist USA Today? They along with the rest of the Marxist main stream media are searching like Captain Ahab for the “great white whale”. Keep searching he is out there just not this time.

How do the democrats dare to come out of their safe spaces to attack those who would like a strong border. Is your safe space borderless?

You, and the rest of “MSM” need to retract this story. These kids did nothing wrong. They were being provoked by adults who should have known better!

You are propetuating HATE

Ignore the crybaby trolls

FakeNews

That was no exchange. The man was exercising his right to civil protest when a bunch of racist kids accosted him, including crowding into his personal space and getting right in his face. Fact better.

Fake news

FakeNewsMedia

A “tense exchange” implies both sides. This tweet could use some correcting for accuracy.

Maybe all you people should watch all the videos before you throw these kids under the bus. Plus Che k out the thugs behind them calling them fags and the black kid in their group N word.

What a shame these kids would do this, their parents should teach them better

Bullshit!

This whole thing is a lie....way to check facts fakenews

They’ve got a bigger problem than just that incident:

Did Soros pay the Indian or did usatoday ?

Why are you persecuting innocent children? I hope you and your FakeNews colleagues are sued into oblivion by the children you maligned and abused. This is WAR The CovingtonCatholicHigh kids are innocent.

Watch full video! This is a LIE!!!

'The failing USA today rag issues false report using lies of omission'

Fake news

Barns Law Firm is coming. Going to sue you all for reporting Fake News. Leave the kid's alone.

FAKE NEWS!!! Indigenous man makes up phony story and media runs with it because it fits their agenda everyone is racist 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍

Nasty natives attacked the teens

LindaWarriorGal Uhhh, don’t you want to delete this post/stormy now?! Or are you another example of a “news” source being ok with fake news?

FAKE NEWS!!!

karli_bonne Truth RealNews FakeNews DNCisEVIL MAGA

Fake news. It was the other way around. Kid did nothing wrong.

Fakenews is still up. Shocker. News Media in this country is pathetic. So dishonest. When will America wake up ?

USA Today is garbage

Your story is bs. The full video tell a different story than your McPaper.

I read online that the media wildly mischaracterized the video ...... This is the real video !!! You be the judge !!!

Watch the whole video. This drunk Indian likes to start shit. Maybe he should lay off the fire water.

Nobody would have cared if it was 50 year old white liberal women in Hillary hats doing the exact same thing.

MerlinYYC I didn’t see mention that the staff of this catholic school is ALL WHITE & minority enrollment is, shall we say, negligible? Based on their claimed goals, they are having massive problems with the SOCIAL aspects of educating these privileged yobs.

Media is facing a backlash for misrepresenting a video to fit a pat narrative.

And reported by the fake news media CNN

BS

I’ve already seen tweets by lawyers offering their services for free to Covington catholic and students. I hope they take them up on that and sue you for that article.

FAKE NEWS!!!!!!

Bad look for this alleged teenage Catholic. Learn humility.

Yes, Blanton Racism, toward that white boy. And aggression.

You are literally FakeNews. The kids did nothing. And you make “elder” to be a hero. Wrong.

Exchange

Have to wonder if this would have received as much coverage/publicity if the kids were not wearing the MAGA hats...............🤔🤔🤔

It's so sad you didn't see the whole video. But you'll just let this lie stay here. Smfh

CovCathColonels should view the entire video, apologize to tuition-paying PARENTS, congratulate the young men for keeping their composure, and REFUND a semesters’ tuition. An absolute JOKE that the school would “apologize” when nothing was done by the CHILDREN. Shameful adults

FAKE NEWS. The native American crashed a protest, and got in minors' faces. The media, and this man, should be ashamed!! QUIT BRAINWASHING THE LEFT! They are easy targets, but they have a right to the TRUTH!!! misinformation propaganda

Watch the unedited video

I recommend everyone watch a full UNEDITED video of the events that led up to the elder approaching the kids!

typical FAKENEWS Democrats LYING as usual. the drummer is a KNOWN ALT-LEFT activist and violated one of the students personal space. that is ALL that happened

More fake news

FakeNews

Wonder how many have seen video minutes prior to the 'faceoff' why would an adult walk into a group of kids and bang his 'drum' in front of a kid who apparently refused to give ground and move from where he was? Kid SHOULD have shown more respect but ADULT is not innocent

You know why this is funny Because 1 day later it’s been confirmed as FakeNews 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Y’all got sucked in!

More fake news. Tell the whole story

Fake news...again.

USA today u are dirty dead wrong plenty of videos debunked this story this Indian dudes not a Vietnam vet 1 and he and his leftist whackos we're there to harass Christians at a pro life rally they approached 13 yr old kids called afr Amer kids N words and n fa**ots for maga hats

The hatred of these young men goes against Catholic traditions. whatwouldjesusdo

This story is going to age bad for your site. The boys were targeted by a Native American activist. This is FakeNews

Meme falling apart. Peddle somewhere else.

Full video has proven this as a false narrative. Why is this continuing to be published?

Why is the school and not single kid?guess this is a dictatorship...

I believe it was him harassing those kids and they responded. Quit with this racist bullshit!

What exchange? C'mon....

Stop lying. The truth and videos are out there. Disgusting how you attack kids now. Hope they sue your butts.

TOTAL LIE FABRICATION... This dude has accused many people of same he's a leftist but job who got triggered seeing 13 14yr old boys wearing red maga hats plenty of videos show him n his racist Israelites yelling white man go back to Europe HES A LEFTIST NUT approached kids

They didn’t do shot. Stop spreading fake news and report on the full story accurately. Stop trying to divide Americans to push agenda. MSMisEvil

Yes Blanton Rascism thoward that white boy. And aggression.

.reason: “Video footage strongly contradicts Native American veteran Nathan Phillips' claim that Covington Catholic High School boys harassed him. The media got this one completely wrong,” writes robbysoave

FakeNews at it again. I saw the video. Nathan was the aggressor. He made his way through the crowd. Banging his damn drum in that adolescents face. That child was respectful as a person can be. Don’t back down.

I think it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing stunt. Liberals dressing as conservatives to display a bad image then trying to use it against republicans and the president

Fake news

Thank god people have something to be babies about today!

FakeNews story already proven false but go ahead and keep showing why you guys are the EnemyOfThePeople

I applaud the kids for peacefully protesting and just joining the sing along with the man who got in their face with a drum. Think of all the other choices those kids could have made. The media’s twisting of events shows the state of things AND the greatness of our youth. 🇺🇸

PUBLICLY APOLOGY TO THESE KIDS

Nathan Phillips is a elder and was praying when this child disrespect him along with other shameless children. So, this would not be an exchange. tryharddobetter

That boy did nothing wrong.

The Indian was the provocateur. Tell the truth.

The Indigenous shouts: “White people, go back to Europe. This is not your land” F-bombs: “You’re being a white man is all you know how to do.” Radical cult, the Black Hebrews says: “your president is a homosexual.” “You give faggots rights!” …

Make the RETRACTION now fakenews

RETRACTION

Fake news.

Please show me the tense “exchange” because all I saw was a white boy taunting a NATIVE AMERICAN MAN!!

Lies lies lies this fraud is a paid Democratic Divider !

FAKENEWS this is bs

Where is your apology for spreading the lies The young boy on this video should be proud of his composure after an Adult Man accosted him.

Watch the entire 2 hour unedited video, before reaching a decision. Shows completely different story.

It was not an exchange.

Fake news. The poor veteran staged this. No racism, nothing. Total agitprop.

Lies, lies, lies. !!!!!!!

He didn’t mock him. Ridiculous. Why did this old man have to beat a drum in his face? The kid responds with a smile and that’s mocking. Ridiculous.c r

Prior 2 this blk men spewed wt hate threats at boys. Hr into video they taunt CatholicSchool students calling them incest children,crackers etc.A student dances ‘football dance’ & boys sing 2drown out haters.Elder(who men knew) walks into group FakeNews

This has been discredited. Try to keep up.

How about watching the entire video and make a revision or retraction? Get your facts before victim shopping.

USAToday is FakeNews here. Not unusual for them but this is easily fact checked. Do editors at this rag ever publish truth?

This is what respect looks like. Self respect. CovingtonCatholicHighSchool CovingtonCatholic CovingtonShame

That young man did nothing while adults in the area behaved badly trying to intimidate kids. Good thing I already decided your paper is garbage.

How do we know these weren’t LIBERALS IN MAGA HATS trying to stir up trouble. Giver the current Socialist bent of the Catholic Church, it’s likely! Someone check! realDonaldTrump seanhannity TheEIBNetwork WSJ IngrahamAngle JudgeJeanine yodacowboy

Or was it the other way around?

Give me a break. Here is the truth. A drunken Indian known for pulling lefty activist stunts stumbles into a crowd of HS kids doing a HS chant and beats his war drum in their face.

Their all wearing MAGA clothes. Standard issue uniform at that school.

The native went after the kids the kids are now going to sue MSM

“tense exchange” is a very both sides way of putting it. they surrounded and derided him.

Well this didn't age well did it? FAKENEWS

I watched several videos from several angles and you guys got it all wrong. These kids weren’t antagonizing anyone. You’re just getting over the “trump told Cohen to lie and he will be impeached” debacle. Breathe. Come up for air.

Too bad it's all a lie. The Dems specialty.

Where were the decent people to put this punk in his place?

ANTI WHITE HATE SPEECH AND FAKE NEWS

Need to correct your fake news story!

The full video shows that it was a hoax. The 'Native American Vietnam Vet' accosted the teens who were just waiting for a bus. The accuser & his co-conspirators yelled racial epithets at the teens and then fooled the mainstream media w/lies, selective photos & clips. FakeNews

This is a lie! The students did not do anything it was the other way around as seen clearly in the in the in-edited video

Errrrrr. The native guy got in their face. Watch the full thing. Not a snip.

Annnnnnnnd it was a lie.

democratPaidActor democratplantation DemocRatsAreEvil

Fake news

This push of fake news is why you ARE the enemy of the people. That Native American approached them. Those kids were waiting on their bus.

Pull down & correct this fakenews ASAP! USA Today is falsely trying to destroy young people’s’ lives.

The school is likely to take you to court and will probably receive a large cash award for libel.

Shameful reality of racism in religious school. Sure his parents are proud. kentucky

If you believe this... You are GULLIBLE! Watch the FULL video!

Stop lying!!! FakeNews

This is why the left wing media has no credibility anymore. This is a lie and you know it.

How come the MSM never reports, ' CNN facing backlash after its 'journo's' make up ANOTHER story'?

You guys mind updating the article to show what really happened or no?

Good , I saw that on TV, younger generation needs to learn to respect others but when bad behavior makes y rich on TV so called reality shows what do u expect ?

Hello the whole story was a lie . Watch the whole videos. Proving liberal media cnn is corrupt and evil putting innocent kids in danger . Full video at gatewaypundit Tomi Lahren

These children did absolutely nothing wrong. Shame on that old guy for getting in their face and attempting to intimidate them, for their crime of supporting their president. Native American, Vietnam Vet, is not a license to be a a-hole! He should apologize to these children!

Freakin Kentucky.

Hey have you apologized for your lying deceitful news? You should be sued the shut down who ever approved of this story should be imprisoned! So damn tired of you lying SOBs in the media!

Maga

Check your facts USA today,the kids were the ones harassed.Grow up lefties.

More fake news. Please stop already.

Mainstream.

Tell the REAL story with the full video. The Native American man harassed these kids getting in their faces. They did NOT approach him or even talk to him. Research to see he does this ALL the time and files lawsuits! He does not represent the truth!

How were the kids harassing the Native American Veteran. He approached the kids himself, was chanting and banging his drum in the kids face, and all the while just standing there and smiling. How is that harassment?

Wrong

Check out bennyjohnson’s Tweet: it's all bad

Fake news

Exchange?!

the man and BLM went after the kids who were just waiting for their bus. The kids did nothing!

I’m surprised that as a leader of the Catholic faith, Pontifex has not issued a statement regarding the horrendous acts of the students at CovCathColonels toward NathanPhilips. Refer to Galatians 5:22-23

False. Your Narrative is a lie. MAGA kids did not seek out Natives and surround them. Kids did NOT block Native man from leaving. Kids did NOT harass black activists. In fact, everything is just the opposite of what is reported. This man is a far left activist who has a history.

Bull SHIT it isn't racism. It's white people doing anything any other race didn't like. Black kids don't do Shit like this? Of course they do. Is it racism? No

Fake news is lying again. This is a group of young men and this kid was grinning and so cute. I’m telling you lying fake news. You’re about to unleash the worlds scariest thing-Really angry protective moms bc your propaganda harms our kids. We’re not gonna take it!!!

Watch the whole video please, more fake news

“Facing backlash” pfffttt what do you think would happen? These little monkeys need more than a spanking and exorcism anyone wearing a maga hat is a terrorist in the making

These are the future date-rapists and Supreme Court nominees. Great parenting! Great Presidential role model!

That's incorrect and you *should* know it. The old man has a history of being a victim of 'racism' and has been a fixture at liberal protests.

'Blatant racism'. Do white people need to start wearing a badge to identify them?

Read one of the students letter to the local media.

Liars fake news the man came to them

Except that’s not what happened. How quickly we jump on fake news to ruin people’s lives. It’s an ugly media we have now a days.

I watched the entire video. What exactly are liberals upset about? How bout the other two groups? Hey whatever gets people to forget about that buzzfeed debacle 🤪

People wake up and see who is truly trying to divide the country. The media! Spin tactics, racism where there is none that’s how they make their bread and butter. Without drama they have nothing. Note how they don’t report on anything positive. I wonder why hmmm?

Now disproven by full video. Will you make as big of a deal now that you know the truth? ExposeChristianSchools

They did not mock-they were the victims of mocking by the Native American!!!

That was no ”exchange”. That was blatant disrespect and harassment.

The 9 to 10 minute video shows that the Indian and I can use the term because I have Indian blood was harassing the kid/young man. You have to see the entire video.

Absolute FakeNews! The Indian guy walked at them, and proceeded to bang his drum in the teen’s face. Do your research people! The mainstream media is the EnemyOfThePeople

Fake News! You should be ashamed to post this nonsense. Buzzfeed 2.0

Here’s the real video liberal media won’t show

This is sad but not surprising, native Americans face more discrimination than any other group in America. The worst part is that nobody seems to care. NativeAmerican truth

The white kids were targeted because they had MAGA hats on. The real racists were the blacks and indians but you won’t report that because tHe ReSiStAnCe. Complete BS.

This is not a catholic problem it's a specific school and parenting problem . They shouldn't have worn Maga hats on the March for Life . They knew it would anger others . I wiish they wore Jesus hats .

*looking up the ownership of the USA Today after seeing the word 'exchange' in this trash tweet/headline*

Fake news, time to delete this

FakeNews

How is the senile old man who WENT UP TO THE KIDS and literally best a drum INCHES FROM THE KIDS FACE while yelling at him The victim? Have you even watched the video Go watch the video, the old man is the aggressor who targeted a CHILD for harassment

fakenews WatchTheWholeVideo Apologize2CovingtonHigh

Yellow journalism at it's very best....absolutely shameless.....never let the facts get into a good story....its a shining example of McCarthy ism.....wearing a ' maga' hat means that you can smear a group of children as racist..is there any proof that they are all racist.. o

False story! Why is this still on Twitter TwitterMoments 😡? You’re putting innocent kids’ lives at risk by the radical violent Left. Shame on you! Tell the Truth (for once):

The results after taking the ten year challenge .... MAGAFOOLS

Perhaps the truth is the Native American was harassing the students instead of the more sensational media narrative. So much for fair & unbiased media reporting. 🤷‍♂️

Blatant racism by whom? The BHI activists shouting racist slurs at the teens for 30 minutes before their bus arrived? Report the whole story you hacks.

This toothless indian is a liar. So is the media. He started it.

I hope you'll be publishing an article that tells the whole truth about what really went down. Don't be FakeNews like CNN

You know this is a lie if you watch the video

Retract this lie already.

I beg of you to please be responsible with your headlines. You are endangering children’s lives in this one. Show the whole video that others have come out with. Use your reach and power for good

In what city of Kentucky did this happen?

Knock it off with the 'both side-ism.' It wasn't an 'exchange.' Both parties are not at fault.

Fake news again! Nice try!! The complete videos are out and those kids were the ones being harrassed!!

USA Today..lying mofos..

Context matters, . The white house didn't get away with doctoring video, you won't get away with butchering video evidence. Did you know that literally ANYBODY can see the full thing...? Disagreeing w/Trump supporters isn't a good enough reason to ruin their lives.

I hope the families of CovingtonCatholic file suit for this flat out FakeNews

Then show the whole video... it’s not at all what’s being reported. The media is lying.

Daddy must be so proud of his racist son!

That smirk will come back to haunt him. Where were the chaperones?

thankstrump futurenazisofamerica magaparenting moredeplorables godhavemercy

USA today do better,it was not an exchange the Vet was singing and doing a ritual song with a drum.

Fake news. The media is proven wrong every time they try to get Trulpnor his supporters. Y’all are a joke.

BS yet did nothing wrong

Why is this still out there and promoted by USA Today when the full video shows it’s a flat out lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These false narratives need to stop.

faknews libel

Amerisali

Show the ENTIRE video before inciting hatred.

“Blatant racism” indeed. Except it’s racism towards white kids. This is literally fake news.The media won’t be happy until everyone hates white people as much as the modern left.

FakeNews He approached the students first. As usual you cut the tapes to show your biased opinions.

No exchange...the man was standing there and they taunted him for no reason. And exchange implies he had discourse with these kids and he did not. Do better

This is good news.

Will you update your posts with correction and new video that shows him approaching THEM and starting the problem? Of course you won’t. Because you’re clowns

Sadly, Twitter and the media have agendas and they are clearly divisive. This guy does a great job getting more perspective on the situation that shows there's more to it:

Bullshit

After the stunt Pillips pulled banging that drum in the kids face knowing he was taking advantage of him and being egged on by others I am ashamed to be part Indian. I use to be proud to say it not any more.

Shame. Video shows racism towards the students, NOT by them.

The Progressives are determined to spark a hot civil war. They will do ANYTHING in their sick effort to make our side shoot first. But we won't. Like that excellent young man that stood strong in the face of that threat from Nathan Phillips, we will face you down.

Grim an alternative buy reliable news source.

This is fake news, are you going to apologize to the kids

AND? 😭the left does this daily

The Native American should of never came up to the group and started playing the drums in their face. What is these double standards?

Fake news.

Fake news

Hahahahahaha racist? You’re a joke! Did you even watch the video? The man approached them and all they did was stand there looking at him

When is there going to be retracy of this, now that there is video evidence that completely refutes the claims of the article?

Fake news he antagoised them.he was being confrontational and they just effectively went with him, even dancing tonhis drum,talk about overaction again America.

So here's the lying media again. Great distraction from the women's march though. Those students did nothing wrong. watch the entire video, idiots.

Lying, genocidal media! Disavow this story NOW! Those boys should sue you.

Wrong!

Sad

Let’s see the whole video

Students were recently expelled from a Catholic High School for inappropriate behavior. This should apply here. They are representatives for their school and this sends a very wrong message regarding what the school is teaching

Why don’t you rescind this story? fakenews

If someone walks up to you in public and bangs a drum in your face, are you now part of a tense exchange? do you deserve backlash?

Too bad you don't show the WHOLE video where the kids were harassed by the muslims, blacks and the indians. So either report the WHOLE truth or don't report it at all. FAKE NEWS!!!!

Isn't swinging a stick and banging on a drum inches from someone's face (also a minor) also threatening? Seems to be the guy swinging a stick and making noise is doing more to intimidate than a KID, smirking...jesus.

Latest outrage by liberal media is that 'high school students attacked natives ' It's the opposite...

You guys have found out that this was taken out of context, right

Look another video

Seems to me they would have done the same thing minus the hats! What dies their attire have to do with it!

fakenews

Fake news as usual. 🙄

Stop with the bs coverage there was no exchange!! Stop protecting theses racist!!

It’s a complete mis-characterization by a dishonest media

More FAKENEWS good job

So are you all going to ignore what transpired before this The group from house of Israel shouting cracker to these kids. And he approached them. Tell the whole damn story.

Ok. Time to issue a retraction. This is FakeNews

Nothing happened. No apologies. The old timer tried to incite something but kudos to the kids for not biting.

USA Today is pure liberal propaganda. You should be ashamed for smearing this young man with edited video. Shameful

Are we going to see a retraction of the story? Apology?

White supremacists are embracing and promoting an emotionally charged, deceptive lie and deflecting to a false media division agenda. White supremacy and racism are taught. ©

In a society that harasses whites every day, is it surprising that whites will fight back?

Watch the full video. I changed my perspective of this exchange. Grown men acting like grown kids and kids acting like kids but ultimately keeping it peaceful.

More fake news! Good grief

I think you mean, high school faces backlash after media rushes to be first in line and gets the story completely wrong. It’s not so much fake news as it is irresponsible news.

This has been proven untrue with extended video. fakenews

I don't know what video you guys saw but the indian with the drum was harassing the teenagers

Lying liberals lying Twitter

Shut down. Quit. Desist.

Bullshit article. Watch the whole video. This is why you’re referred to as fake news

“Tense exchange” ? do better please and call it what it is - VERY POOR JOURNALISM on your part smh!

Enough is enough. Next time some white racist does something like this or call the police for nonsense. Go viral and beat their ass. Take the few days in jail. Violence sends a strong message. ASK Saddam, Kadafi, and the 1000s executed in America. Time to follow Malcolm X

This is turning out to be a big freaking lie.

What an embarrassment that high school is... Looks like their teachings are forgetting some key elements of history. Shame

full video. Context included. Encourage everyone who is outraged to watch this. Comments on the video have timestamps to skip to

The irony of the high school kid holding a sign that says, “I vote pro life” no you don’t kid. You’re not old enough to vote so hopefully by the time you’re old enough to vote you won’t vote to oppress women’s right to choose.

May God have mercy. Continue being brave and stand tall in the face of hatred, racism, and indifference.

Fake news.

I really hope that every college I. The country will look closely at any student from this high school before they accept them. Yale Princeton Stanford DukeU dartmouth Columbia BrownUniversity Cornell universityofky Harvard

They are immature children. Their parents haven't finished the job the were supposed to do. The woman is correct, it's a mob mentality the seems to be permeating the young. There is safety in numbers for them. In isolation they will fail.

FULL VIDEO shows these men calling these boys crackers and so much more and shows the Indian walking up to them! Nearly 2 hours of video

Fake news

Fake news. As has been shown todau

I live in their school district and I’m pretty sure I can identify a person in one of the videos. It’s terrible.

Yeah but if you actually watch the whole video, that NA vet was a real asshole to the kid. Before he got weird, the kids were playing along with him, not mocking

Racial intolerance in Kentucky? What a shocker.

You should be ashamed of yourself for writing this! Show me the “exchange “ please. What a disgrace of journalism put on display here! Delete this tweet or fix it!

Such fake news...view the entire video then you will see that Chief Running Mouth PHILLIPS speaks with a forked tongue...

Let’s stop with the fake outrage like the students or the school will face any real consequences! The school already issued their fake statement, condemning the actions, and his mom has already made an excuse for him. thisisamerikkka whiteprivilegeisreal

Exchange!? A group of young men Indigenous Marchers No! These racist Thugs surrounded a Native! American who is also a Vietnam veteran. BoycottUsaToday

Backlash doesn't begin to cover this disgrace.

USA Today going alone by with the anti white lie.

Watch the entire video. He approached them when they were minding their own business. He, an adult approach them, and started banging his drum in their face. Watch the entire video, and not a purposefully edited clip

odd that no one seems to show the whole video, where the Indian is the one who walks up to them and one of the people associated with him is calling them school shooters and shouting go back to Europe. O well

Young men? Or white thugs?

Fake news. All lies.

You are going to be sued for slander. This was a hit job, the full vids prove it.

What is the updated story?

'Tense exchange' How are you so bad at this?

F him imlatino and have no problem with this - you people harass conservatives veterans older individuals- payback - you drew first blood 💯 🇺🇸 civilwariscoming

That was very racist. Watch the whole video not the one cut for the sheeple. Those adults banging war music approached and tried intimidate a bunch of kids and the kids didn’t bite on the racist set up. Or from the Black lives riot team. What a joke. Liberal propaganda

Really...exchange, huh?...

Tell the whole story.

Cover this actual racism from that day.

This didn’t happen like you say. fakenews

More propaganda

FakeNews

WHAT EXCHANGE?!

A grown man gets in the face of a teenager and beats his drum in child’s face and the child is the jerk?! Pfft!!! These boys were there for the ProLife March and this man approached & harassed the child. Only getting headlines because child was wearing MAGA hat. fakenews

I mean it’s Kentucky

Bloody lies. Watch the full tape!

You really should do your own research, watch ALL the videos, not just some 20 second clip a SJW doctored, then retract your story and issue and apology.

I watched the whole video. Nothing could be further from the truth.

America at it’s worst. Shameful, sad & disgusting!!

There’s literally 2hrs of video showing a totally different story than this and you refuse to watch it and correct your false narrative Yet you all get mad when the term FAKE NEWS gets used. Pretty pathetic

Based on the video that shows the Native American approaching the kid and putting the drum stick in his face, where the correction? Where the outrage by an adult who starts a confrontation with a child? Pretty obvious this story was initially reported inaccurately.

Watch the full video

Another bad day for fake news industry.

AnonCassi This didn’t age well, nor did the MAGA hating comments. Par for the course.

They are because of the fake journalism in the media. I say backlash from who, nobody that matters.

He approaches them Check out ASimplePatriot’s Tweet:

It's all a fake story

I smell a rat

This is FakeNews

You are SICKENING! fakenews

You need to correct this shit ASAP!

What a pile of crap, there was no exchange. It was blatant intimidation and racism.

Good. Their response has been lukewarm to what these boys did while on a trip under their supervision. They should have condemned it immediately and said the punishment would be harsh. They can't get around what this video shows.

When are you going g to retract this story and issue an apology to the students?

FakeNews

I mean they are from Kentucky what do you expect?

No harassment it’s another lie by the liberal MSM

Fake news editing to beat of own drum, instigated by the Native American... apologies to the high schoolers, the libs will destroy your reputation without care

FakeNews

=FAKE NEWS

Like it or not people absolutely have the right to wear MAGA hats out in public. The elderly man and the MAGA hats are both allowed to peacefully protest. Educate yourself read our Constitution

FAKE NEWS!! The kids did nothing....

More propaganda BS meant to smear the march.

Any surprise the school is in Kentucky?

Racism? Are you guys nuts? They just stood there and listened to him. The man was not intimidated on the least. He played and sang with no problem!

Too bad there's video proof showing that that's not what happened at all why don't you tell the truth for a change there's videos all over that show that's not what happened Liars

Retract this story ASAP or there will be a class action lawsuit filed for defamation....you know better.

Fake news

stop tell lies on these kids.... watch the video in full.

The only backlash should be against the media for continuing to feed this fake story.

This is fake news. The exact opposite happened. We know because there is video showing the whole damn thing.

I’m sure their parents are proud but I’m afraid to say it because they actually might be.

Watch whole video

And they shouldn’t be, because the entire narrative is made up

This is sad that our own Vietnam veteran has to go through this torture. This kids now a days don't have a clue. I am sorry for our country!! That we have no respect for our elders. This world is going to shit!!!!

How about you show the real unedited video

Sad

Fake news. Watch the whole video, people.

ahhh see what you guys are doing. Well played. It wasn't tense at all you pansies. It was a crash course history lesson. History taught in grade school is completely in need of a revamp. They did mock them though.

If this “great” I want no part of it.

Another manufactured bit of news. He created this, the boy was an innocent bystander. Get your facts straight.

fakenews They were chanting and that old man approached them. He was the one who banged a drum in their faces.

Dont forget this!

Wow, all of you judge-mental assholes need to look beyond the FAKE MSM news, clickbait story and watch the entire video- not the cropped one that fits the anti MAGA agenda. This left wing activist, with other adult activists are the ones who approached these kids to bait them!

Set aside the fact NathanPhillips was elderly, the marchers are FirstAmericans Indigenous THAT carries more weight than these dimwits combined. Pls,have the parents stand next to their spawns so we all can take a good hard look! CovingtonCatholicHighSchool SHAME ON YOU!😤

More exaggerated fake news... show the entire video

Except they didn't, you need to retract your story and issue apologies to these kids.fakenews

Feel free to retract this statement now that all the facts have come out.

facts matter

Bull

Fake news! There is USUALLY more to a story when it comes to the liberal media accusing conservatives of racism & hate. Watch EVERY video please.

People in MAGA hats describe themselves as wanting to take America back, yet they swarmed the place, took measures to kill em off, and put the remaining on reservtions that restrict them... but suddenly MAGA people are the ones aiming to take Amurika back.... TheyTookOurJewbz

I thought the full video was out.

cosmonautzzz This is one instance where the kids will NOT win!

There is video proof that this report is in accurate and doesn't tell the whole story! fakenews

More attacking Christians rights

And maybe he should apologize as well for forcing his way into the crowd

After the kids were told to go back to Europe. Very sick individuals!

I guess you didn't see the video of the native guy waking up to them and getting in their faces. They literally did nothing I've seen the videos. Also if you want to actually research the native he's claimed bullshit harassment by students before and lied about it. Lol

this video shows the gentleman approach the students, initiating the standoff.

The USA Today lies. Everyone knows Gannett is a NAZI organization.

Who put their video down and stood up for those being heckled? Unless we speak up, we are just as guilty.

Fake news! Play entire video! He walked up to kids and now he is playing victim to get KIDS in trouble!

This is fake news and USA Today keeps reporting this

Keep trying media! 2020 is coming MAGA

Fake News from the USATODAY --

Why don’t you show the whole video? You know where the Indian dude and a group of guys marches into the center of some teenagers group aggressively, then pretends to be a victim later

Leave it to the media to not show the whole video. Are they ever going to learn? Then you keep crying when people dont believe anything you have to say

Lies!!

Because of your FakeNews and the TwitterMob.

The unedited video below clearly shows the leftist shit disturber pounding the drum engaged the students not the other way around as falsely reported

Where was the exchange,assholes? It was mob mentality against one man.

What did the boy do? He stood there. His only crime is he wore a MAGA hat. Leave him alone. I don’t see the need to demonize either side here. That’s the problem today, the obsession to make one side or the other out as being totally right or wrong.

SHAME covingtoncatholic. You’re supposed to be raising Christian young men with the values Jesus taught; i.e., love, acceptance, respect. Jesus would be very disappointed in your efforts and failures. hateisnotchristian bigotshidingbehindthecross

FAKE NEWS!!!!

Correct the story. It’s been debunked with video proof dolts

Disgusting they should be removed and arrested for hate crime or racism

Fakenews

Blatant liars, we have all seen the video at this point and know the indigenous people forced their way into the group of teenagers and banged a drum in the kid's face. After the black guys called the teenagers homophobic slurs.

It seems that the story behind the story is more controversial than the story.Hmmm HebrewIsraelite you may not want to go there beware

These kids were rude to be sure but they weren't wearing antifa masks and beating people because they disagreed. They were acting like juveniles and being stupid. Turning this into a big deal is the problem with our society.

Are going to change your story now that the entire video is out?

Watch the entire video and video posted by others and you realize this is another Fake story by fake journalists.

Future Barf Kavanaugh Catholic school scumbags. Too bad they don’t believe in birth control. (Too bad their parents didn’t either)!

Tense How was it tense?

Watch the whole video.

The kids did nothing wrong. They were harassed by activists.

So appropriate from the WhereIsMitch state.

B.S

More Fake News. Watch the whole video. Usa today is as bad as Buzzfeed

God dammit Kentucky, please stop making me look bad. This is why I don’t associate with the catholic schools.

Check your facts...look at the unedited video. This Native American is also a paid actor. Not unlike David Hogg...

Fake news

Update anytime? Retraction would be even better.🤔

Why were those kids there for Right to Life? They clearly don’t understand it and certainly don’t have it in their hearts! Shameful behavior!!

These young men stood for over an hour being verbally attacked by a black adult male. THEN Phillips walked into their group. Why expect adult behavior from teens and excuse virulent, disgusting behavior in actual adults? via YouTube

Fake news here☝️they’re not showing you the full video. Watch Mike Cernovich video / coverage of the same full length video

There was a kid who looked happy and then uncomfortable Nat the adult was wrong

Those boys did NOTHING wrong. Just another FAKENEWS STORY!

Already disproven that the gentleman impeded on the group by approaching them.

FAKENEWS

Disgusting that radical blacks are getting away with this AGAIN. Blatant racism against a peaceful school song being sung. The liberals will not be happy until they burn this country to the ground MAGA 🇺🇸

The teachers, staff and parents in Covington, Kentucky are failing these young people. Who is teaching history there?

USATODAY is competing with BuzzFeedNews with who can divide the country more and have a bigger FakeNews story

full video of the incident. It’s long but you can see the kids are being harassed and provoked with slurs by the other protestors. The kids are just trying to mind their own business and to handle the awkward situation as best they could.

I hope all of those Catholic students get expelled. Shameful. I'm sure their parents are very proud.

Looks like the media lied again... unedited video shows completely different story... way to go media!

The evidence tells otherwise!

Picking on school kids is not acceptable, it’s time for us to seriously start picking on you Journalists that write up this crap.

And where were the adults in this 'exchange'? Teachers, parents chaperoning the trip? Obviously, if they were there, they took no issue with the behavior of these ppl, I say ppl and not kids because they all look old enough to know the difference between right n wrong.

Hilarious you run with lies

More FAKENEWS Hope you show the whole video! Quit dividing America

This Phillips approached these kids while they were singing their school chant. Great moral courage that this kid just stood there jackass! A liberal would have punched him in the face You are welcome 🙏🏻

More fake news.

Another example of NarrativeIsNotNews. A sad week for Journalism

Don't go crying freedom of speech it's all about RESPECT and obvious the young man doesn't have any

Here's an exchange for you : I'm cancelling my subscription to your newspaper. You fail to report facts as they are and fail to report racism for what it is. As such, I will no longer financially support you.

In light of the harassment these young men endured, they showed great restraint. I will be praying that no one faces expulsion and the school is exonerated. covcath SupportCovCath

As they SHOULD! Those young thugs can be glad they don’t call me MOM!

Check out IsraelUSAforevr’s Tweet:

They should all be expelled for the racist act they pulled! Racism in any school should not be tolerated whatsoever! These kids learned their racism from their ignorant racist parents!

Fake news!! When will you guys learn. You do nothing for your cause, people don't like to be lied to

DennisCardiff TrumpYouthRedHats = Hitler Youth Brown Shirts

It's fake news...show the whole thing!!!!!!!

Fake news... the whole video came out. The old idiot was the one who walked up to the student and there was no one disrespected. Actually some of his buddies were yelling “go back to Europe” to the students

Fake News Slanders MAGA Teens Being Harassed by Native American

'Tense exchange'?!😠 Why am I not surprised that predominantly white media runs to whitewash racist contempt & bullying by the MAGAt dipsh!ts? FACT: A mob of Hat(red)s from CovingtonCatholic surrounded Nathan Philips, yelling about the wall, with Michael Hodge blocking/smirking

fakenews, he approached them

We don't teach and raise hate if we are Americans. We teach respect, unity and love for your fellow Americans!

Lie

You as a paper and the people in this thread look stupid after the true story and videos has come out.

Whoa this is a lot of commentary. Nothing to add.

Another fraudulent, fascist left, load of BS. The NA group walked into the kids looking for confrontation. Show the entire video. It’s time the Justice Department starts investigating phony journalism.

incredible your lack of journalism - here’s the full video - as if you care about facts

According to raw footage (start around 1:12) Nathan Phillips and his procession look to be attempting to diffuse the altercation between small group of vocal adult protestors and vocal (and unsupervised) boys. Phillips did not harrass--school should have supervised.

Yeah now tell the full story

TAKE THIS BACK. IT'S A LIE. FAKENEWS

Get your facts straight

USA Today, your headline is beyond inappropriate. It was not an exchange. It was young, racist, white male students berating and harassing an elder Native American who is singing. That’s not an exchange.

These kids were likely never introduced to anything besides what rich conservative parents & private catholic schools taught them, so they treat others as if they are beneath them if they’re different or didn’t have a similar upbringing. I know bc I went to cath school appalling

So when the parents seen this video Parents are like what we tell you about being racist? Kid Only do it in private yea yea i know Parents Now we have to blame another race for it

Now that we know the true story and not a short video clip will you appologise to the kids? Nathan Phillip's is a racist asshole who was harrassing kids. Liberals got their 30 sec clip to start their new agenda and now that we see the kids did nothing wrong liberal go into hiding

A CATHOLIC highschool

Those kids were the victims. If you watch the full video to you will see the activist Native drummer approach the kid and drum in his face. The kid stood there and took it. The backlash should be against the activist drmmer.

As an old Catholic. The bible teaches us to love our neighbor. Do on to others as we want it done to us. I'm a MAGA. Rule of thumb. Never fuck with an American Native, especially a American Veteran. Back to Sunday school kids.

They were there participating in a pro life march. Just happened that there was also a Native American protest/gathering the same time. I saw the video where the boys were gathered on steps not bothering anyone when the NA walked into their group banging the drums. No violence

CovCathColonels Shame on you if you don’t punish those disrespectful little creeps!

Did you happen to watch the videos or did your leftist reporters have their blinders on as well? C’MON tell the whole story

STOP LYING

The vet tries to intimidate a young man in a MAGA hat, and when the kid doesn't back down, the vet whines like a little bit ch. Nothing to see here but here but butt hurt whiney little liberals, bullying a child! You people are disgusting!

Didn't learn anything from the BuzzFeed debacle I see. The 'activist' initiated the whole thing. But by all means, keep up the FakeNews so WE can continue to call you the Enemy of the People!

None of what your saying is true. No suprise. Your tabloid.

As petty as the thing realDonaldTrump response to he of course never comment on white male Americans exercising their privilege to be racist, raped or kill anything on this planet. F MAGA

False news again? Shame on you.

USA Today abuses children. Fake news causes real harm. Any reporter who pushes this narrative touches children inappropriately. Metaphorically speaking.

It was not an 'exchange,' it was bigoted harassment. Do better.

BS, the adult was responsible...the kids are not at fault here. Move along...

Check out this article from USA TODAY: Mr Nathan tells the actual story...

This is not true. The video has come out Shawnee totally different story.

WTH? Where were there chaperones? Why were they wearing those horrible hats? Yes their parents failed them but so did their school

The Indians came to them watch the videos

It's increasingly apparent that these kids were minding their own business. Guess it's too much to ask that the media consider that there might be another side to the story before casting accusations. After all, they were white, Christian males--so they had to be at fault, right?

Just sitting here waiting for USA Today to apologize to these kids

Just wondering if will update this post with the interview of Mr.Nathan they posted today. It seems his story and the click bait story do not match. Shouldn’t his be the real account?

shutitdown

Retract ? FAKENEWS

1hour 12 mins in extremely dishonest to do this and put all the blame on these boys. Yes children. But keep pushing your narrative at their expense....

Fake news. 🤣😂 Watch the whole video

I think this elder owes the children an apology. Those kids have videoed what really happened and this old man was trying to start trouble with children.

Where is the Papal opinion on this We shouldn’t have to wait too long for a response from the archdiocese!

The truth:

realDonaldTrump has carried condemnation of younger generations throughout his political turmoil is realDonaldTrump the village trying to raise a child or are citizens trying to raise awareness of the dangers of trump's actions in society's of citizens twitter wants to know

FakeNews Anyone with the common sense to do any research sees who the true aggressors were in this event. If an adult man approached my teenage son the way the drummer did I would be proud of him for keeping the composure shown here. Why do you hate America? MAGA

It’s another sad pathetic day in the US. I am appreciative that the school will take action. But where is that coming from? Parents and the moron that wants to make a better America. The schoolhas their work cut out for them trying to teach their students compassion

FAKE NEWS!!! Any SANE person seeing the COMPLETE video will clearly see that the Native American ACTIVIST inserted himself and started the whole thing. The students simply stood their ground as they should have. This FAKE outrage to fit the leftist lunatic narrative has to stop.

This story has been proven false

Concerning the privileged Ky brats, where is Melania promoting “Be Best?”

What a load of total crap. That old timer went over to them banging his drum in their face. They did NOTHING.

Fake news

'Exchange'? Are you lying or do you people just really suck at journalism?

Yet none is highlighting the issue of the diversity of conflict in Kentucky politics also, realDonaldTrump went to Jerusalem to say xenophobia was not apart of his administration other issues are the agendas of his shutdown and administration

Wtf you know it wasn’t a “tense exchange” be better

fakenews

When did America become so damn soft? It’s hilarious how so many are irritated by these kids. GrowAPair

I saw it on cnn 1st

Will you now apologize to these kids , their parents and their school for this fake news story. It was a hoax.

Horrible headline. It should read “Racist high schoolers chant “build the wall” at a group of native Americans therefore demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge of American history by fault of their all white catholic school”

Blatant racism huh....

Time and time again it is evident that blatant discrimination, division, and hatred has become a privilege given to a people who have stolen, rape, diseased, kidnapped, terrorized and killed. The ultimate judge is watching All praises to The Most High YAH

Call it what it is a group of thugs harassing people.

Apologize to CovingtonCatholic kids. SpewingFalsehood Agitator Activist NathanPhillips seek out the boys.

Fake news.

Completely misleading. Don't try to 'both sides' this.

The racists were the adults present.

'Exchange' is a poorly chosen description of the situation -- a mob of angry, mocking, chanting young men surrounding and taunting a peaceful elder? No, that is not an exchange.

Why is USA TODAY still posting this false report? Bigotry against Catholics is the answer. Catholics need to unite against the media hatred of them.

How you have a good defamation lawyer.

Wow, just read the sheeples comments. None of them have watched the whole video and sound like complete idiots when tweeting. Proves that liberals never want the truth, they're only mouth pieces of Lies and false stories.

Why is it ok for the Native American to approach and intermediate a child waiting on a bus? Not Okay?

Where were the adult chaperones? Obvious rascism Covington has a major problem lessons learned workshops need to be done this is a disgrace for a Catholic or any high school!

Good. And I really do hope the diocese actually does something about these boys. Like kick them out of school. How they can think their behavior is in any way consistent with the teachings of Jesus is something I will never understand.

Seems like Tonto was the instigator. People can’t resist running off at the mouth before all evidence is in.....

'A tense exchange'? No, it was one-sided harassment. Fix this.

This story confirms what people think about Trump supporters, true or not. A bunch of racist bigoted bullies who think for example, American Indians aren't Americans, and Trump supporters have no respect for anyone or anything.

Tell the really story. Media outlets like you are the reason we are in such a bad place. You are no longer news stations. Your equivalent to the MTV jersey shore. Entertainment. Nothing more.

The war on Christianity, the war on Men, the war on White people and now the war on our Children. Identity Politics is toxic. It is un-American. And, it is mentally ill. The Left incites Hate & Violence against citizens of the USA. Sad. The DemParty & MSM need new leadership.

This is total BS No the old guy was the aggressor The kid was just standing there smiling never said a word or moved Old guy pounding drum in his face he was trying to get kid riled didnt work Motive GoFundMe account & trash Trump supporters

Fake news now targeting kids. Already debunked.

Shame on for carrying on with this fallacious divisive narrative The other uncut videos reveal the truth.

This is the history of Kentucky tho.

Honestly not surprised that this happened a Kentucky School. Their schools are filled with kids treating people horribly.

The Aboriginal Activist group forces it’s way into a group of students waiting for the bus, these kids did nothing wrong!

Check out STORMBLADEX69’s Tweet:

He mocked them with his stupid drum. I guess we are just hating on these guys because they like Trump. Is that all?

Nope. Check out LegendaryEnergy’s Tweet:

The students and the parents should also put a statement out, it shows that those white privileged kids and parents don’t give two shits of what they did!!

How is what they did racist? They said nothing did nothing racist.

And the truth comes out! Retract your story and tell the truth fakenews

This article is not showing the truth of the matter.

FakeNews NathanPhillips

fakenews FAKE FalseNarrative

The 'both-sides' Conservative media strikes again

Oh Wow. Y'all been duped. Have you seen all the videos. The teens were waiting for their chaperones, began a chant, not directed at the old man. The old man approached them. The boy he stood next to was not rude. The old man is a known activist.

Full video was released, will USA Today retract this fakenews article like so many have been doing lately, or will good ol Mueller have to come forth and say you guys are innacurate too lol

This is fake news

Nice values they’re teaching. I hope all the kids are expelled, and the school loses its funding.

There is no 'backlash' let's be real. This is predictive programming.

AND ITS FAKE NEWS man buzzfeed and now this? Video shows people walking up to the kids not the other way around Timcast has the unedited video. YouTube journalists win again

Question: why would a Catholic high school allow its students to wear MAGA hats on a field trip? This is when religion should lose non-profit status.

Fakenews

This is a lie folks! American journalism is failing spectacularly!

Fake news.

Wrong..

Backlash seriously there’s a gross understatement!! Child abuse, now abuse of Native American veterans! The Catholic Church needs more then a simple backlash! ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS!! THE OUTCOME MUST EQUATE WITH ACTIONS!! Leadership must b held to a higher standard!

Once again!! Fake news!!

this has been debunked already

Fake news

TOTAL LEFTIST HYPOCRISY

There was no “exchange”. WTF is the matter with you? Side note: I’d wager a bet that the parents of these monsters (no offense to monsters in general) were horribly offended by that Gillette commercial.

What back lash, you mean blow back on faux victim, eventually the facts come out, there was and os no disrespect on display, young people expressing there position is not disrespectful, its a constitutional right

Exactly what exchange? [They] want to divide us. [They] want to set black against white, Race against race. This is GOOD VS EVIL.

LIETOME FAKENEWS

The full video not being shown. Someone wanna tell me why the bigotry and hate speech from the Israelites committing an actual crime at the end of the video gets ZERO coverage or outrage yet the boys standing doing nothing is worthy of headlines?

This is a complete lie. The Native American man approached the kids. They were chanting to drown out a group of men who were cursing at them for being pro-life. Get your facts straight And you wonder why people don’t trust the media. Force feeding this liberal agenda👎

Spreading seeds of hate, what Liberals do Best...

Facts 1. “Black Israelites” is not a thing 2. The Native APPROACHED the MAGA students minding their business, waiting for a bus (vid) 3. Blacks calling themselves “black Israelites” spew homophobic rhetoric 4. MAGA students speak up to DEFEND gays

Well everyone, perhaps you should watch the full video before going after the kids. The NA man went to the students. They were huddled in a group originally by themselves. Then he approached. The media is going to get someone killed after posting an edited video

Another fake news story....the new Buzz Feed!

All lies! Fake news strikes again!

The man approached the kids. He instigated it. And if you look at this unedited video you will see the kids being called all sorts of names. Yea. Can't want for your apology to them. Start at 1hr10min mark and end when kids get on bus.

That’s a lie

64 isn't old enough to be a vietnam vet. And if you watch the whole video it was him not minding his own business looking to cause trouble

FAKE NEWS

Fake news

FakeNewsCNN

wrong

Your paper owes these kids an apology!!

Here’s raw unedited footage of the event. The Indian man approached them not the other way around and people were telling the MAGA bros to go back to Europe. The mainstream media is lying through their teeth on this.

Watch the lying as other groups know what teally happened, and the diocese faces backlash

Why you lying?

These students are not “young men” at all. They should all be punished for their despicable, immature behavior. Karma will find her her on them. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

Fake news. Watch the whole video. Indian Adults at fault

HERE IS THE FACTUAL VIDEO!!! HEY , PRACTICE REAL JOURNALISM, DAMN IT!!! What happened with the Covington Catholic / Nathan Phillips situation? (... via YouTube

How does it feel to now know this entire story was a fabricated lie? In fact from several video sources now circulating it was the older folks harrassing teens. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is fake news! They got in the boys face and harassed them. Watch the video and stop spreading your fake propaganda based on a picture after the man walked up to the boy.

Watch the whole video. It’s pretty clear this Native American veteran and gentlemen actually instigated a confrontation. The teen did not react, despite having a drum thrust in in face.

They were from a Catholic school?

Like to see this group of Indian activist pull this stunt in the ghetto, bet it would be a lot different outcome.

Did anyone commenting on this actually see the video?

Is article is nothing but blatant lies !!! The native activists approached this GROUP OF KIDS. and you disgusting lefts have the nerve to blame them. Your hate is deep to go after children.

This is 100% fakenews

Have any of you watched the full video? Have you seen the additional videos that have been released. I know you all wish this happened like you think it did but it did not.

As well they should Parents failed school.failed. Church failed community failed.

You report out and out lies. The video shows with no doubt the Phillips advanced on the kids minding their own business. USA Today is FAKE NEWS... PERIOD.

senatemajldr racist leader

And now the real story comes out..

Dumb article, dumb incident that should have never been blown out of proportion. Those kids should not be punished for practicing free speech and freedom to assemble. That native should have not approached them and kept to his own assembly. Media is destroying our rights!

Were the students suspended? Expelled? I wanna know what punishment they received.

ClearTheAir

Your story is a big lie Fake News Get the real story

Bull....

As usual fake news by the liberal media

Expelling all the culprits !! catholic HS, un F.....g believing !

Bullshit. It was the old man instigating and stepping into the young ones personal space.

I hear “crickets” from all the Trump supporters....

I watched the video. That old guy pushed into a highschool group singing their fight songs, hearted, Harassed them! Then they got called f****ts by some other lefties. Only, you've decided to report them as the harassers, not the victims

go to the 1:12:00 mark

Did anyone actually watch the entire video? Prob not . There is more to it than what’s being reported .

Racism, xenophobia, misogyny, all major characteristics of Catholics and the Jewish, oh and def the Muslim. Wait a minute. ... There's a pattern. Who runs all these groups? Who has the balls to run groups like these.... Who?🤔

We are on their land! RESPECT! I blame the parents. This is disgraceful. One, he’s an Indian expressing himself and two, HE IS AN ELDER. My mother would have spanked me so hard I wouldn’t be able to sit for weeks! Respect elders. Respect the Indians. Respect, another human

Provoking controversy was the goal

This was not an “exchange”

Hypocrisy

Reminds me of pictures of the Hiltler youth and how they tormented those wearing the yellow star

This school is full of future rapists and racists, they hear their parents teachers and coaches talking about how great a person like trump is so they inspire to be the same type of shithead

USA Today still pushing FakeNews.

This. Right here is why no one should trust the media.

This is total BS get a life.SocialistSunday

Where's the video then? You can't claim it shows all of this without actually posting the source. You expect people to trust you at face value?

I wonder when these students at Covington Catholic School will get their invite to the White House? 🤔

A coincidence that Mitch McConnell is from Kentucky. THE BEHAVIOUR COMES FROM THE TOP.

Tense exchange? What on earth is wrong with you people? Report the news. Those kids taunted this Vietnam veteran. DO YOUR JOB. stopnormalizing

Look at all the info before you make judgement

Close the school

Not young men. Young thugs. Don't sugarcoat it.

fakenews congrats for attempting to destroy a kids life for smiling.

Fake and fake those Native American agitators knew what they were doing this a fake and hateful story!!!

I call bullshit!!! If you look closely at other videos other than what fake news shows you, you will see the teenagers at a pro life rally and the Indian man approaches and antagonizes them! He admits putting himself in the situation!

I'm confused. What did these kids do? I don't see anything?

Hat does not make you a sweet person....there are ANTIFA swine in full face cover assualting people....how about that.

Just like that school with the Nazi salute. Pretty sure nothing happened

FakeNews

Fake news... watch the video and decide for yourself....

Aaaaaand you wonder why people hate the media. The kids are waiting on their bus and they were approached. The Indian was beating the drum inches from the kids face. The bus came and they left, they did nothing wrong. Jesus.

No exchange here. More like a mob scene attacking a peaceful individual.

This is a lie.

If that is Christianity, I denounce it! This is not what Christ taught. This is not what the Catholic School is teaching students either if they act like this. Disgraceful!!!

STOP THE LIES. 🛑 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH... If anything happen to those KIDS it will be your FAULT. WAKEUP USA 🇺🇸

After seeing the entire encounter I would say the media needs to be ashame of itself!

An 'exchange' implies discourse occurred, an exchange of ideas. These were racist bullies mocking a man who knows more about courage and dignity than they've learned at their Christian school.

Let the kids speak for themselves! The school is a bunch of pushover douchebags that I guarantee didn't see the part where the native picks the fights and then plays victim...typical!

The indigenous people were the confronters..the young man was not intimidated, but is being vilified for standing up to a bully with a drum

Tense exchange? The kid just stood smiling.

This is what realDonaldTrump wall stands for. They are not one of us. Welcome the next generation of White Supremacist guarded by the Catholic Church. ExpellMAGAStudents

This whole thing is fake

The video showed a native american man instigate a confrontation, walking tnto a crowd of high school students and pound his drum inches from a boy's face, hoping to generate anti-Christian bigotry from the barking seals in the fakenews media. It worked. Good boy comrade!

That guy is a shit starter & anti white racist who in his response to this event all but declared the kids to be guilty of their ancestors alleged actions. Thats prejudice & if it wasn't aimed at safe target whitey would be called out! He sees white kids with corruption of blood!

Yes, I've seen several videos of what REALLY happened and if you ask me, the young man was very restrained and respectful. He did nothing except stand there while others crowed his personal space while beating a drum and shouting in his face.

I call bullshit!!! If you look closely at other videos than fake news shows you, you will see the teenagers at a pro life rally and the Indian man approaches and antagonizes them! He admits putting himself in the situation

This is BS the kids did nothing wrong. They were approached and said nothing to the man. You can even see the kids clapping along to the beat...

I'm just finishing my first cup of coffee this morning. I'm now crying. And that's all I have to say.

Take this lie down!!!! I hope these parents sue !!!! What a FAKE story!!! People... please research this further before believing these headlines

Part of it this clxxn in office influencing these kids to go back to sad old Western good Cowboys vs bad Indian days. Catholic school if they don't expel punks minimum needs to them do charity work with Native American groups so they can graduate

Fake news! The drum beater approached them. Told them to go back to Europe. Fake news!

A tense exchange, should be replaced with “white catholic students intimidate elder indigenous marchers.”

More BS from usatoday. Get your facts straight.

thecatholicchurch has never cared about minority lives. The love they have for us stops when the money is gone. This apoligy means nothing.

fakenews

Blatant example that nothing in this country has changed. Disgusting ideals are perpetuated from generation to generation and this administration condones and feeds it. stopthehate

here's the full video of the incident, in case you're interested

When will you be doing the full story where it shows the kids being harassed by the BLM group next to the steps, and Phillips walking into the middle of the group.

You can't take CovingtonCatholic School boys anywhere! KY tRumpWillGetYourButtCut IndigenousPeoplesMarch

Nice parenting people 🙄

Watch the full video. This headline is a lie. The whole thing happened the other way around

AnonymousRex12 Not at all. America is for real Americans. If you don’t like it leave

but .. the media lies .. hope you get sued for libel

BaittyJulie I'd love to see how college admission boards review these applications....

This has been proven a hoax. What are you doing?

As much as I dislike trump, this has already been debunked. The Native American approached and harassed the kids, not vice versa.

Waiting on this retraction now that the unedited video was released

Hope the kid sues all news people who libeled him. Have a nice day

The school should, the students should and where the hell were the teachers/chaperones? Disgraceful!

Check out Uncle_Jimbo’s Tweet:

A bunch of s*

Why do you not tell the whole TRUE story?

mensamule Hey USA Today anything to say now you have seen the whole video correct buzzfeed USA same no different

Where were the chaperones?

I hope everyone has watched the WHOLE video before they pass judgement.

Link in my last post covers what really happened...as covered by Left Centrist journalist Tim Pool...Title of video is not indicative of the facts, that he does talk abt this incident. Here it is again...watch it to learn truth abt this fake news story:

Let's be honest. The catholic church has a hard enough time figuring out how to deal with priests that rape little boys. Do we really think they are going to do anything about this?

Liars. Youneed closed down fake news. Watched the whole thing. Harrassment was from lib side.

It's fake, a clipped video of an actual hour long video. All of the narrative surrounding it is false. Do some research 'journalists'.. be good at your job for once. If you watch the full video, the entire thing was propagated by everyone but the kids.

For shame that you report this completely false narrative. At 1:12:00 of this video your agenda falls apart. You & Nathan Phillips will pay in judgment.

This is 1000% fake news!

It’s all fake!! Watch entire clip. Media again playing the public.

Yeah, yeah... Native Americans were so peaceful before the white man... Let's watch some more Avatar and feel bad for things that don't relate to us

They didn’t attack him, they were minding their own when he walked into their crowd, looking for a reaction he got one. You no wearing a MAGA hat subjects u to being attack physically and verbally lots of news stories to cite that.

FakeNews

Its a HOAX! More FakeNews Didnt happen anything like how it was initially reported. More Anti- realDonaldTrump Lying rhetoric and Hate~!

Watch the whole video you sheep.

The Marxist Democrats and their sheep to stuff like that all the time who knows maybe they thought he was a part of it tapping on his drum so what Democrats the little people all the time and that's okay and I don't condone it from anybody they're hypocrites

CovCathColonels team name “colonels” is a racist embrace of the Confederacy and slavery.

This is a perfect example of why we need a national draft of every young person for 2 years of national service. These disrespectful idiots need to learn what their parents aren’t teaching them.

Why don’t you post a link to the full 2 hour long video that shows the truth? Oh that’s right, the media’s job is no longer the search for truth and justice, it’s lies and divisiveness because ORANGE MAN BAD!% 🤣

Why does the media always have to whitewash everything

FAKE NEWS!! like most Leftist ideologically possessed media outlets - USA TODAY has no interest in actually gathering facts if those facts run contrary to the desired Democratic Party/Progressive/Identity politics anti-conservative, anti-Trump narrative.

Fbs! They were there and approached by the drummer boy! Get it right!

Full video here. This is a non story

Here is a long video leading up to the incident

Fake News Go Trump 2020

Many young folks are so desperate for validation, they’ve become apathetic.

Fake news. Real story is here

Pontifex - How can the term “Catholic” be allowed use for these hateful persons? How is there intolerance tolerated by the Catholic community?

Completely false. Two hours of video is out there for anyone to see. Don’t let this rag brainwash you.

Total set up of those kids. Run the entire video!

There are no indigenous people in the United States. We all came from the same place. A little science lesson for the dumbasses.

Watch the videos and then see who is at fault. Letting the media tell you is apropos to telling you what color the dress is. Use common sense and come to an honest opinion bb

Actually the older man walked up to the group of teens, granted there should have been more respect, we need to show what really happened.

FAKENEWS AGAIN The Truth About the Covington Catholic Story. CNN and Others Push False ... via YouTube

Post 9/11 “boys” in USA USA ... education

This is a lie...we haven't seen this kind of dishonest reporting, since....yesterday's buzzfeed story.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but have you sought another perspective on this story, or looked at other videos of the alleged incident?

Dispicable behavior. Clearly these boys were not taught properly at home, school, or community. I’ve been there and experienced the same as these protestors first hand. And the current climate just gives them the nerve or what’s perceived as permission to behave this way.

Since the media will not be honest& is trying to start a war, facts: this video is partial. The kids were at a support Trump rally peacefully when native America marchers surrounded them&started chanting “go back to Europe”. Getting right into their faces, kids stood their ground

Why aren’t these thugs locked up ? I don’t get it. 🙄

This is a Lie. The man walked into the group banging his drum, got in the kids face while his cohorts berated the boys. Watch the whole video ffs.

How is clapping along with the man's drum beat racist? The old guy was obviously trying to start something anyway. He's the one that walked up to them in the first place. Is everyone blind? Or do you people simply not want to acknowledge the truth? You're sad.

Fake news Full video shows Native American was aggressor

Can't help but wonder if these kids are actually maga supporters or paid by the liberal socialists parties...

This is manipulated news and not accurate

Skrillex Pontifex

most non violent vicious mob in history 🤣🤣 the elder went up in a kids face & pounded a drum for 5 minutes & all the kid in return was smile.. his parents did teach him it seems..

This man approached those boys while they were chanting their school chant! They did nothing to him and the school should retract their apology!

FAKE NEWS

This is clearly a young man who has not been taught respect by his PARENTS. The press wants to blame Trump because the boy had on a MAGA hat, but don’t put this on Trump. It’s the boy’s parents who raised this little twit.

Tense exchange, yes, fake news no

Lies

They should be expelled and colleges should black list.

Don’t normally comment politics but this is absolutely outrageous

FoxNews you better report this news so that you don’t look like supporters that turn a blind out to horrible supporters . You want us to believe you care and don’t condone bad behavior of trump supporters ! Then you better report this and correct these children behavior.

Fake News

This is fake news, folks. Watch the entire video and not the selective clip the 'news' media shows you.

The full video shows it was the Indians taunting the kids. You betray America when you falsely report.

This is Bolshevik agitation propaganda. BTW, what’s the importance of emphasizing it was a Catholic high school? Do Bolsheviks hate Catholics? I bet they do.

That hat will always be a symbol for ignorance and dare I say Racism. Anyone choosing to wear it publically deserves shaming. F*ck their feelings! notsorry

Get your story straight, these activists chanting White men go back to Europe. GAFC

Here we go again.. Blame it on the MAGA hat people!

I don't blame the High School, but I blame these individuals and their parents.

Another msm lie. What he The Whole video.

He was the aggressor. He got in that one kids face. He chose to be there. Those kids did nothing wrong

Cc lyndellmbade Yo Usatoday... there was NO TENSE EXCHANGE only white racists high schoolers harrassing the indigenous there.

TheEllenShow Please bring this veteran to your show and show him some love. He deserves it.🙏

5 blk men/ 'real Jews' call natives savage & ignorant, women wicked, white men crackers, school shooters, & fas, & black men w/them niers & threaten assault. They're racist, homophobic, sexist & mocking not the students. See what actually happened.

Fakest news of the day!! This man started the whole thing. Shameful!! 💯

Just a kid trying to get his freinds to think hes cool by doing something bad. Ya never saw that before? Its called reality

“Tense exchange?” Who is the moron that writes these headlines...one of the worlds easiest jobs and they fuck it up every time and create controversy where there was only facts...

RETRACT!!!

Media continues to lie. The media EnemyOfThePeople being exposed at every turn. FakeNewsMedia are now setting up people as their narrative fails & intelligent people are waking up to their lies and evil doing.

When I was in Catholic school at their age, my sister was suspended for wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt. The principle needs to expel the boys. I would hate to see how they act as adults. Shame on them. Shame in their parents for raising idiots.

And now you need to report the true story with the same fervor! No racism, no mob, no mockery..... fakenews

This is already debunked. Maybe show all the video where nathan purposely targeted these kids. You just love your fake news dontcha

Religious schools are child abuse.

The true instigators

Yes the native american was aggressively approaching the students if you watched the video

Call it what it was. The group of young Catholic students were HARASSING the Native Americans. There was no “exchange” of tensions. It was a one way transaction. Be more accurate.

Ok I challenge you to show me mocking. A kid smiling while someone is inches from his face with a drum is not mocking. Whoever wrote this is a hack. If any of these kids are injured I hope you get it double.

Did the native American go there to instigate trouble?

Go see what really happened - not how the media portrays it. The kids were targeted because some bought those hats from street vendors.

What racist words were said? That the boys should go back to Europe?

Another ‘headline’ proving that the left can only read a title and not look at the entire story, this shit has become so boring

This is the fakest of fake news...nice work joining buzz feed

Hopefully Catholic school kicks punks out. Their 'Old Men' hopefully have long talk with them where they have trouble sitting down a few days. Maybe they get sent to military school. Unlike elderly Native a Vietnam vet doubt any last one day in boot camp

Go back a couple hundred years when Native Americans were taunted and their land taken away. History repeals it's self. All of them need to be expelled and charged in a race crime.

Watch the unedited video and see that this is just more FAKE NEWS!!

They should be...and the chaperones. Where were the school chaperones ❓❓

Nathan Philips did not seem tense at all, actually.

Truth unedited

The only racist are the agitators who surrounded those kids.

With the horrible history the Catholic Church has had with Native American boarding schools, this school better take significant action against these kids.

Faaaaaake. He walked into their group and got in the kid's face. He even admits it.

These boys deserve no punishment!

Those kids were raised that way don't think for a second they weren't! whiteprivilege standuptoracism

If True news. Retract this blatant hit job fake news story. The activist Indian and his group of SJW drum line provoked reaction.

I’d love to have a similar exchange with whomever wrote this headline

What a misleading headline. Hackery right here.

That's not the whole story of course

One side story = Fake News!

Your MAGA is showing. Time to correct and apologize.

Fake news

Fake news

The media is the enemy of the people. It creates more divide and creates a story where there isn’t one.

The boys are 1/1024 guilty.

Mockingbird media. Fakenews MAGA

The schools charter &/or licencing that allows it to operate should be reviewed by appropriate authorities, as the number of students who participated in this behavior clearly shows a culture of bigotry.

If someone gets in my face banging a drum and making retarded noises I'm gonna laugh too. Especially at his age.

The abhorrent behavior of 250 boys from Covington Catholic High School is systemic within the school and families of students. Apparently the MAGA hat boys mother is blaming black Muslims for her sons harassment of an indigenous man. FakeChristians

It’s a lie! The boys were peacefully marching and this well known activist got in their face and starting pounding his drum. They stood their ground that’s all. You owe them an apology ass hles!

This place is hiding behind the label of a Christian school!

What would be better than expulsion, education. Educate the student, parents, and admin about rasism, indigenous people, and historical migration.

100% manufactured victimhood. fakenews watch all the video. The kids were ones bullied by a bunch of adults calling them gay, and go back to Europe.

WHERE WERE THE CHAPERONES?

Exchange? Smh poor wording. This was all aggression from one side...

This story is bullsh... he wasn’t mocking anyone!

'Exchange'? Be better.

This is a false narrative. The group of native Americans were actually the one who approached the kids and taunted them! SHAME ON YOU USA TODAY FOR RISKING THE LIVES OF KIDS!

SO IS America 'Great' Again yet?

More fake news. The Drummer walked in to the crowd of high schoolers. He approached him. Stop exploiting children for political reasons.

It was NOT an exchange. It was harassment and intimidation of a peaceful elderly Vietnam veteran by racist teenage bigots. Shame on you ! Change this headline. It is false reporting at it’s worst. You are part of the problem!

Whitewashing the hell out of the situation with your tweet. Literally, whitewashing.

I’ve read this is a reversal of what really happened with seriously edited tape. The one I see is a young man standing quite still as a drum is beaten in his face by an old man. Truth to tell though I have seen neither side of this story.

Wow it’s nothing lol

It was staged by left evil ones

Retweet nickmon1112 'You white people go back to Europe, this is not your land' AND PEOPLE ARE YELLING AT CovingtonCatholic FOR THIS? WHY? WHY?

Maybe you should put out the full video, or at least stop lying to the people.

where were the people who were supposed to be watching these kids and why did they let this CRAP go on?

Did any of you actually watch the video? The kids did not harass this man. The drummer walked through the group of kids and stopped inches away from one of them banging his drum and singing in his face. The kid stood their smiling. How is this racism or harassment

This is blatant racism from USA today.

Unfortunately right or wrong we as a people STILL have the RIGHT to express our feelings in a peaceful manner no matter how WRONG it is IF we LOSE That RIGHT then we are DOOMED AS A COUNTRY

Fake news

Lies! Children were harassed by a publicity seeking professional protestor!

Good God, SenatorLankford just defended the young man that got in the face of the Native American gentleman on ThisWeekABC ! Oklahomans deserve better than Lankford, more so because of the large population of Native Americans who call Oklahoma home!

Absolutely disgusting display it’s apparent they’re being taught this at home and school. Behavior breeds behavior

After watching the video, I'm honestly hard pressed to see the 'racism' and 'hate' that some news outlets are referring to. Its definitely mockery but I think calling it anything else is just exaggeration.

This was so disrespectful their parents must be so proud of how they taught them to be so racist and disrespectful to a wonderful community that was just trying to Have a peaceful marchSoSad

It was hardly mocking. Watch a clip of the interaction. There was NO disrespectful behavior at all.

FakeNews again. Watch the video you enemies of the people!

Stop it. You are journalists; you should tell the truth. That headline is a mischaracterization of the event, as anyone who has seen the video can attest. It wasn't an exchange, it was harassment, at the least. Do better.

Yeah that didn't happen. The media is showing you what they want you to see. Wake up, sheep. You're being led to the slaughter house.

Sorry angry and disgusted at those little maggots

Weird way to say “Random Native American shows up to harass the students at MarchForLife2019”

They ALL need a good ass whooping and their parents allow them to wear those red KKK hats? ParentFail

FAKE NEWS, OLD INDIAN IS A VETERAN HE APPROACHED BOY BEATING DRUM IN HIS FACE. IF YOU WANT TO POINT TO AGGRESSION IT WAS ON THE INDIAN. BTW I AM A NATIVE AS WELL.

Fake news (see unedited video) - busted again.

The bumping and grinding going in D.C. is creating an AmericanSilt that will suffocate upcoming generations, it will take decades to dredge this swamp!

Self righteous tw*t crashed someone else's gathering. WTF did he expect, a red carpet?

Kick that punk out of that Catholic school ASAP. His old man needs to have a nice long `talk` with about respecting you're elders. He'd have trouble sitting down a couple of days. The elderly Native is also a Vietnam vet. That kid wouldn't last a day in boot camp

What 'exchange?' Disgusting headline that paints some sort of false equivalency between two completely unequal actions. Journalism truly is flagging over there, huh?

Those kids must have not seen the Gillette ad. I say make it mandatory or them to watch it for an entire school day. That’ll fix it

When will the whole story be told ?

After watching the whole 2 hour video, will you be printing a retraction on this 'story' or will you continue to let people condemn these kids? ... NSFW...

“Tense exchange”? No. Hateful bigoted attack? Yes.

This is Mitch McConnell country, why isn't he saying anything. That's the same as excepting this racist behavior.

“Newly released video shows it was Phillips who approached the teenagers as they were happily chanting their school's anthem on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial while getting ready to leave after the March For Life rally finished. “

Do A LOT better on your reporting.

100%BS Fake News (once again) Watch the video people (sheep). See for yourselves!!!! The kids were approached by them with drums and stuff. Don't let yourself be manipulated on daily basis. For God sake!!!!!

This is a lie! Show the whole video or zip it.

Except accounts that this was a set up against students.Students had been already celebrating when this vet centered the school cheering. At first they thought he was part of the chanting as he was keeping to their beat so they joined him, not to mock. Not everything is racist

Who taught this young man to disrespect, intimidate and treat others not like him with so little regard. Shame on his parents as this begins st home, not at school. He will probably be protected but his parents shouldnt be as their actions taught him this behavior. Disgraceful!

It wasn’t an exchange! The Native American peacefully sang a song and was taunted by those Magat a-holes from CovingtonCatholicHigh covingtoncatholic

Tense exchange!!! 🙄

Unbelievable how the agenda of this is blatant hypocrisy. Instead of showing ALL that occurred only snippets are captured to condemn

This is another example of how realDonaldTrump's influence on young people in America as he spreads Bigotry, Hatred, and Racism throughout the nation. This is Truly Shameful because Native American Citizens are the TRUE AMERICANS. Too bad they don't have the power to DEPORT ALL!

Get the rest of the story, where this mob from CovingtonCatholicHighSchool attacking 5 black youth with racial slurs and threatening violence. NathanPhillips starting drumming and singing to God to stop it because he was concerned for these 5 young blacks lives.

Such wonderful Christians these kids actually make good case for abortion🙃

Despicable Fake News!

This is terrible

Do better usataday!!! That tweet is terribly misleading and is a clear example of how racist behavior isn't properly challenged. This looks like something mr. maga would say, 'both sides'!

How about watching it in all of its entirety to see the Indian man walk up into the crowd of boys and step face to face with the boy? Yes he is smirkimg, which is. It a crime. Do your research

A set-up by a professional provacateur. This is a libel.

They were there for the March for life and that guy walked up to them and got in their faces and started beating his drum. They did nothing. At most, they smirked as he was really mocking them. But the old man holding a trump sign was actually physically attacked...

Now the video comes out, the old guy was the one who approached the kids looking for a conflict. He has the victim mentality.

They're from Kentucky, color me shocked 🙄

Exchange?

Context matters. As you can see, the kid...and I stress kid, did nothing, not even speak a word. He simply stood his ground. The Native American activist actually got in the kids face.

There was no exchange. They were flat out bullies.

Is that the school that Mitch McConnell and Steve King went to

They should kick these little shit stains out! Disgusting and disgraceful behavior being taught to our youths by a hateful 'president'.

Here is the whole video. Its 1 hour and 46 minutes long. But if you want to know what happened...

Fake news is fake

This is news? Biased, you should have had smiley faces after the headline.

Who will watch this and see what really happened?

Shame on the parents of that crooked teeth MAGA kid. You have taught them hate, racism. Kids mimic their parents. Get that boy's teeth fix.

Blatant set up! The kids were not the aggressors.

This is fake news. Phillips approached the students.

Think about this, if you were in FL or Mo, the elderly could have claimed the standyourground law and claimed that he felt threatened and could have shot the kids intimidating him and there is anything anybody could say...

This has been debunked as blatantly fake news. VeryFakeNews

I’m embarrassed for my state. I didn’t think I COUKD be more embarrassed after watching the behavior of senatemajldr mcconnell & RandPaul over the past 10 years but clearly I was wrong. Appalling that the school is hiding - like mcconnell - instead of issuing an apology!!

Anyone surprised that this is McConnell’s state?

To the Catholic and christians everywhere, what would Jesus do? NathanPhillips

You need to understand its Kentucky.

Whites are at it again. Abusing non-whites for fun. Who..in this country..in their right mind would have a problem with a native? The whites who are not rich like to go around and harass different groups instead of focusing on the real culprits of their hell...themselves!

Exchange I saw nothing exchanged.

They viviously harassed this Viet nam vet in the name of Trump.This headline is a LIE ITS MEDIA MALPRACTICE SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU.

I was upset when I first saw this too. One little problem. That’s not what happened.

Is this the Trump Youth Brigade and is the Catholic Church once again complicit?

Fake News

I hope appropriate action is taken against these louts.

“A Catholic high school in Kentucky is facing backlash after a video showed a mob of white male religious extremists wearing MAGA hats harassing a group of peaceful indigenous marchers.” Fixed it for you.

Shameful

They approached the kids. They have Indigenous Person March the same day as the March for Life? Interesting. He’s an activist, approached the kids, and was beating a drum in the kids face. Watch the whole videos. Shame on usatoday for spreading lies.

Seems like Nick picked the wrong school.

And the four other recordings of the event show kokopellis and friends walking up to the kids and telling the kids to go back to europe. They also show a group of black jews mocking homosexuals, in which the group of young men hissed and booed. Glad your one sided

Fake news

this shows how stupid we are in this country out of all the races in this country the Native Indians are the real Americans .All the other races our family history show we came from other countries. Native Indians are the only true Americans .

As it should be, they disgrace their race!!!! Their religion!! Their Country!! And THEIR PARENTS for tolerance most of all!!!! Home is what YOU make it!!! remember honor teach. With right comes responsibility!!! Respect

Poorly educated

It’s the side effect of senatemajldr

So, when will usatoday follow this up with actual facts, or actually perform some investigative journalism like they have some integrity.

Not blatant. Phillips is an antagonist.

Here is the beginning of the video. Why didn't you post this part. You're not journalists. You're just a bunch of propaganda hacks. The Indian activist approach them. He initiated the conflict. Why does it take average citizens to do your jobs? Next time report the truth

I'm wearing war paint and standing outside the school

BS STORY. fakenewsalert

Ya know, back in the day those students would have had to walk from the front door of the church to the alter on their knees while reciting Hail Marys all the way.

Debunked

Shameful behavior exhibited by these students. NO excuses.

Shout out to this HS, way to bring up a good bunch of kids! This liberal drama queen marches into them peacefully standing. I applaud his young mans composure! MAGA!

I bet Mitch McConnell is proud!

Here's the truth:

Watch the whole video.

The boys who stood around and did nothing to stop it, or videotaped it, are culpable. All should suffer a consequence. Spend a summer at a reservation if they’ll have u, learn the REAL history. Read TrailofTears, write about it, but most of all, expelled.

Fascinating! This story has already been Debunked yet here you are reposting this FakeNews to our phones & posting it on social media. Your paper was once a good & colorful national news source. Now, it has sadly joined the heap of YellowJournalism

'tense exchange' talk about fake news!!!!

Is that SenWarren dad?

This was a mob of privileged white kids surrounding and intimidating a elder veteran. He was frightened. Terrible reporting

'Native American blocked and surrounded by high school students while singing his tribal song.' FIFY.

'....tense exchange'? Ummm no. A tense exchange is what happens when they get my order wrong at the drive thru. Try again.

Stop reporting these lies. Do some real investigation. Phillip’s baited the kids, they stood for their 1A rights. You guys MIS reporting this incident are going to be responsible for getting someone hurt - in a really bad way.

Do better USA TODAY. Wasn't a tense exchange. Those pathetic white young men were taunting and harassing this man. DO BETTER.

When MSM fails, we have digital army.

I do hope all the boys that were there suffer some consequence. Although they were there for a March for Life (give a break, religious hypocrites), wearing MAGA hats & harassing African American protestors, mocking Vietnam veteran, Nathan Philips. 👎🏼

Doesn't exchange require 2 people?

Watch the whole video cause this is FakeNews

This is a lie. The Native American man started drumming in the kids faces. He confronted them. Don’t believe the media.

The silence from Trump and his supporters...is deafening.

What a joke. This leftist drama queen walked into their group and started beating a drum in this kids face. I applaud their composure!

FakeNewsMedia

propaganda usaToday mediaBeingDicks aidingAndAbetting racists. NeverCoddleNazis A Catholic high school in Kentucky is facing backlash after a video showed their racist students harassing an indigenous Vietnam War Veteran.

It wasn't a tense exchange,the old man should have stayed away from the kids. Those kids did nothing but stand there

Makes me sad to be catholic!

Maybe research more, and see that the native American in the story is the one who instigated the event by walking directly towards the kid in the hat and try to stare him down and beat on his drum and intimidate the child as an adult he’s the one who should be reprimanded.

what about the homophobic slurs at 42:00 and forward? Crickets

Expell the students

Watch all the videos before you make a conclusion.

It was NOT AN EXHANGE! he entered the elder's space and harrassed and intimidated him..there was no back and forth badheadline TrumpsAmerica WhiteSupremacists

Fake

All these men need to called out. Who are they?

Colonizers go back to where you came from. America is not your home.

HELLO!! Covington Catholic High School’s, in KenTucky, Staff and Administration are well aware of the Racist and SelfRighteous students enrolled at their school. The vetting process to get in at Covington is very rigorous and they know there are Monsters roaming their Dorms.

This is a lie. Doctored video!

Now that new video shows this to be a set up where kids waiting for their bus were chanting the school name, not “build a wall” or “kill the cops” and the old man was the troublemaker, do you have the integrity to report the truth Or are you shit fake news

If only when the school gets through punishing these boys, their parents stepped in and acted like real parents. A good parent is not going to let their child get away with disrespecting their elders.

Disgusting

Bullshit. This guy is an alt left extremist. He is a racist who was harassing kids. But libs are ok with harassment and bullying. Hope the kids sue for defamation

Ultimately the behavior is on the parents. The school can’t take 100% of blame. Entitled kids come from entitled households.

Exchange?!? 🙄🙄 Here y’all go with the lies...

CNNnewsroom ABC cbs NBCNewsWorld thehill MSNBC Here is the school's (and I use the term loosely), twitter address : CovCathColonels

I guess it only matters when it fits your narrative.

When are you going to be objective and report the full story?! Agenda driven news! This is why we don't believe anything you report and look for alternative sources. Shame! Refer to 1:15 minutes specifically.

This is fake news and I’m sooo pissed you even printed this... you need to retract this lying erroneous story

Rewrite this for accuracy...there was NO EXCHANGE.

This does not make America great, it takes America back to the times of slavery when racism was openly accepted. This is really sad for all of mankind.

Why continue with the fakenews? Show the full unedited video where it shows a completely different scenario than the one you're trying to push.

Christian values in 2019

Really? It is an all-male school of 592 whose mission is to embrace the Gospel message of Jesus Christ in order to educate students spiritually, academically, physically and socially. School grade = F

It's time you correct your story. The kids were not disrespectful.......actually he did pretty good to stand there with a drum beating in his face.

Complete video debunks this article. Reporting the truth will keep you from being labeled “fake news.”

Good those kids and parents suck

They are just raising little Nazis apparently so let them feel the wrath of truth.

Stupid gringos

Tense exchange? The kids were chanting along after a dude with a drum walked up to them, inches away even and they stood their ground. If anything they should be commended for not reacting like most kids would nowadays, like resorting to violence when personal space is invaded

This was harassment by kids in maga hats. Stop the both siderism and report what happened. Simple

Tense? That elderly Native American was brilliantly UNtense in the face of mobish racism and bullying. Only one side was *tense* and it was the racist side

Hitler youth. Their evil is barely contained. Lord of the Flies in their eyes. Their moral system has failed them. Their privilege is their only desire.

familyvalues?

More Fake News LYING 🤥

Creepy old man with drum interrupts peaceful MAGA demonstration.. kid should have grabbed drum and smashed it.. is he really a Vet Looks like a government freeloader

So why does this video show the native walking up to the students as a counter-protestor?

March_for_Life has some explaining to do. Why did those kids, chaperones, and other adults think it was OK to do this at their “March”? It looks like a March for Racism and trump propaganda.

This highlights our problems. The left and right both have versions of this. The truth is under attack.

Fake news

That was NOT a “tense exchange”, it was a repulsive attempt to diminish a brave man by some despicable people. 🤷‍♀️

It's funny how NPC'S don't bother to verify shit. Then proceed to ruin lives. Get your brown shirts on, chocolate rations are up today!

Ahhhh that explains everything. “a Chatholic high school in Kentucky” you bunch of racists should renounce Jesus and take up Nazis as your lord and savior. And no just because your young this doesn’t give you a damm pass!!!

This is fake news. That elder is known for being an instigator. Once again, congrats on being bad at your job . Another example of why no one believes the media

Students from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky mocked an elder at the IndigenousPeoplesMarch on the national mall. The Superintendent of Schools Diocese of Covington supmikeclines was in DC with them. Call the Catholic school at 859-491-2247

Thanks to fake news, hope you're proud.

Perhaps you should get your context straight by watching this.

That’s not at all what happened as usual. Fake news

The future Brock Turner ...

All of you fecking sheep have no clue what ACTUALLY happened! The elder was the one who instigated this! He is the ONE who went directly up to the young man and tried to get a rise out of him. Once again if a white male is involved he just has to be GUILTY. Fecking nonsense!

All BS so sick of news twisting stories. You see the poor kid just standing there and drummer came walk up to him. Disgraceful news

Why aren't you reporting the truth?

that video with the kids and native guy, what a joke.

This is fake news. Watch the video. The awkward moment occurs when the Native American gentleman encroaches into the teenager’s personal space. The kid smiles and laughs initially then it is awkward as the drum stick is percussed directly in front of his face. No news here.

All the virtue signaling drones on here should take a minute and watch the entire video. They won’t because outrage is easier than thinking.

Good. Those punks are disgraceful.

More fake news

You lie and he lies...the whole video tells the truth!!

Boys...not ‘young men’.

Fake news. Get the real story and apologize to the students.

Not an “exchange”! Be better . Jeeeeez!

fakenews

A group of young men? No this was a group of savages terrorizing Natives.

Totally bs story!

White boys 'exchange' people of color assault, harass, batter...WOW. Try again

Freedom of speech people. Fight for your constitutional rights depend on it.

Why is this utter lie still up

Obviously these boys haven’t seen the Gillette ad.

You first need to prove who approached who

The children were being harassed by racist black preachers for an hour then this native approached them to instigate.

We need a wall alright for Trump and these clowns

Must have taken God out of their school.

Off to the side did you catch the Democrat protester who claimed to be a Dr. She was the one holding the jar with a fetus.

I've watched multiple videos. There was nothing the kid did wrong, and if you want to take it a step further, the guy got in the face of the kid with the Maga hat in his personal space. How desperate are yall to blow shit out of proportion is sad as it is hilarious 😂

Shitty headline is not accurate.

The boys did nothing wrong.

there was no exchange, the mob of thugs surrounded Nathan & harassed him

Let’s wait until all the facts come out. Unlike news rags like Buzzfeed do.

This country is in a bad way so sad

It wasn't an exchange. Those punks taunted the man. Why you people sugarcoat and normalize this garbage is beyond me. That's how the clown got elected. You normalized him.

what a twisted spin. Is that really what you saw when you viewed the various videos?

Colonizer absurdity on full display. First with the harassment of the youth, then in the whitewashed, both sides BS of this USA Today article.

Punishments should be swift and severe

Try telling it like it was

Please rethink your choice of words. 'Tense exchange' implies a bothsides-erism that does not reflect the reality of the scene. A group of privileged white kids surrounded and bullied a peaceful group of Native people. There was no 'exchange.' :-(

This is terrible framing.

Care to remove this now that the full video has been released exonerating these kids?

Gee .. this DEMOCRAT COMMUNITY ORGANIZER must have protested the VIET NAM WAR TOO .. otherwise his beloved DEMS hated his GUTS for Decades ..not to mention the spitting, cursing, and attacks we got coming HOME KissMyClaymore This guy protests often!!!!

This is fake news. The parents will sue you and win.

CovingtonShame Whoops... More fake news. Turns out Covington did nothing wrong. fakenews covingtoncatholicHS CovCathColonelsDisgrace CovCath CovingtonCatholic Another fabricated news story that too many blindly rushed to believe.

Please edit your headline This was not a tense exchange This was blatant bullying Intimidation Hate Racism On display

Watch the whole video and report what really happened

This boy’s birth certificate must be revoked, and he must be forced to leave the country ASAP.

Take a look at most Catholic schools around the country. Especially ALL BOYS ones. Anywhere white Catholics gather will be a stew of racist,sexist,entitled pigs. Maybe a few good eggs mixed in who are doing their best to survive amongst all the ignorant hateful tools around them

Watch the *alternate video* that was taken concurrently with the one that you provided. Every time it was posted a paid scrubber took it down. Yet it has been re-uploaded. It will provide balance which leads to the truth. JamesMartinSJ

Good.

There was no exchange at all. Those students were wrong. How about you correct your headline to reflect the truth instead of making it seem like they were triggered.

If that was a group of 50 year old white women with vagina hats on no one would be commenting.

I’m not condoning any of this behavior ... LET’S CLARIFY ... Mr. Phillips engaged the high school students FIRST & then the relay of insults continued ... NOT the way it was portrayed in the FAKE NEWS!! FAKENEWS

Its not due to this administration its due to our moral fabric. Depleted. The kids see the hypocrisy in our world and revel in chaos. Media promotes the negative and noone home to discipline. NWO plan success!

As a Catholic and Christian these young men need to learn that being a Christian and a Catholic means walking in the footsteps of Christ doing as Christ would have done these young men are a stain on everything Jesus was about I want the Pontifex to speak about this

It wasn’t an exchange. He was in prayer. Do better. Educate yourself

There was no 'exchange'.

You’re failing at social media, person.

Fake and distorted news from USA Today.

Those young men you speak of are racist bullies, being raised by racist bullies, attending a racist bully school. Do not give them one inch of understanding because they deserve none. They function under a cloud of hate.

Bullshit.

Ironically 'right to life' march...lol teach any History in that Loving Christian school? What would Jesus do ?

Where is the entire video and redaction to this piece of “informative journalism”?

A sad time for Americans. We have leaders who, thru their rhetoric and actions, have made racist/sexist behavior acceptable. I think so often of President & Mrs Obama, and follow their lead.

Whichever version of this story is true chaperones should have quickly moved the kids. Things could’ve become more dangerous and our POTUS is not a leader. WE have to treat each other better.

This is part of the problem, the white privilege to not only commit a heinous act but the feeling by most whites a subconscious diminishing belief of the act itself.

FakeNews story. 12 year olds stood and smiled and laughed. Now they are demons for being catholic.

This is really an eye-opener to me because I live the closest in Cincinnati to Kentucky I never knew Covington residents were Trump supporters like that! I would just die if my son acted out like that in front of a Native American. ShameAmericaagain

😢😢😢

And this is how they suppress Christian minded groups. When you have racist adults verbally attack young children, and the kids peacefully stand up for themselves, and media attacks the children, parents (feeling for kids safety) will stop letting their kids take these trips.

People wonder why racism is so a live and free in America. We dont hold others accountable for their actions. It goes on and on. It starts at home. Sad to disrespect our troops. I appreciate the folks of color we go out here and do our best not to kill a motherfucker so humble

Are you going to update this story? Seems there is more than first appears

You should probably retract this story and issue an apology right about now. I’ve watched the other videos on this. The boys did nothing wrong here.

Well we now realize the reporting once again is false and ignorant.

Tense exchange? Nice try but I do t think so. The racism and disrespect was fully coming from one side only while the other side was peacefully protesting. Get your shit right.

Perhaps Covington Catholic should up their educational courses in American history so the young men in this video can learn that American Indians are not from Europe...also some community service at a reservation. makeamericacareagain expelthem youngdrumpers

You can easily see the MAGA kid is blinking racist remarks in Morse code. Suspend him. End his career and life. - looney libs

Horrible! What a disgusting act. I hope the school and students feel the full wrath.

Watch 2nd video. See kids at there gathering point following March for Life. Watch Mr.Phillips/Group March directly into crowd of teens because they have MAGA hats. Why? Confrontation? Set-up? Hoping for headlines? This is what left does. Believe or not. Phillips credibility 0!

Why the Native American walked up to them and taunted them by telling them to “ go back to Europe “...both sides are culpable

What were they thinking Idiots, should be ashamed of themselves... ya, they got a lot of attention now... Backlash in a big way!🧐

Good. That kid should be ashamed of himself. I hope that shit is looked at when he applies for college.

Ehat exchange?! Harrassment pure and simple

There is backlash but it has nothing to do with the school or those kids.

More videos came out showing that the protesting man with the drum and his team went into the students' bubble. He got his 15 minutes of fame

Consequences

It wasn’t an exchange. Change your wording. It was harassment, bullying, berating, mocking, intimidation, blocking NOT AN EXCHANGE!

Those teens are narcissistic, evil, and satanic; typical Trump supporters. They have their dad’s genes which is why they support him. They probably don’t even have prom dates. 🤔 MAGA MAGAyouth Narcissism

Exchange? The vid I saw wasn't an 'exchange'. It was a violent entitled mob attacking and elderly man.

The daily rush to judgement

Nobody deserves disrespect.... Really strange event....hope the school straightened those boys out

More breathless bullshit, this old radical tried to intimidate a young boy and it didn’t work....tough shit🤨

are you implying 'both sides' were responsible?

And exchange implies that both parties share some responsibility. Not cool.

He approached them. Why?

Wrong The old man is a phony and the kids were doing Nothing wrong

I've gone through all Catholic schools right through college and I could never even imagine somebody doing what these kids done!! I'm totally embarrassed !!

Exchange? No. No exchange. This was a one sided psychological attack steeped in racism and bigotry, compliments of the parents and the CovCathColonels Catholic school.

What exchange, the kids were harassing and mocking him, and all he was doing was singing and playing the drum. Get your facts straight!

He came to them fakenews why dont you show the whole video...scared

Awww they laughed at someone for threatening them boo hoo

Wayfair incessantly airs a commercial featuring a smug and ignorant woman making up a jingle that is highly insulting to Native Americans: 'You make-um my shopping easy'. This commercial has reached MILLIONS. What's new?

'Exchange'

That’s the problem with immigrants. They don’t respect the traditions of the lands they go to live in...

I just love the self righteous hypocrites.

These kids need to experience serious consequences for their behavior. But they don’t deserve to have their entire lives destroyed. This is a huge growth opportunity for them and their insular community.

Enough with the racism crap ridiculous already I am sick and tired of the left in this country every time they don't like something trying to claim racism it's enough already we don't hear you anymore it's becoming the boy who cried wolf syndrome

ps9714 That is the KKK region.

Oh ya that's the guy that went over to the high schoolers banging his drum and taunting them. Fake news.

Native American walked up to kid wearing hat. I heard nobody chanting build the wall. Yes, Some were mocking by joining in his chanting

What the hell, these punks not only disrespecting a very proud American but a veteran. Their parents must be ashamed!!

supmikeclines I certainly hope major action is taken with these students. This type of behavior should not be promoted or supported. How was this behavior allowed with chaperones? You dropped the ball and this type of behavior cannot he tolerated. What a disgrace!

Fake news. Watch the whole video!

To what “exchange” are referring? There was no “exchange”. Get it right.

JFC USA Today REALLY? Y'all went blind and deaf right before you watched that video? You make me dead ashamed that I was a journalist for 14 years.

He’s a veteran who fought for those KIDS freedom😔!!!

Lies! The kids did nothing wrong. Mr. Daniels forced his way into the middle of the group. No one chanted “build the wall” and there plenty of video evidence to prove it. Stop lying and issue a correction! You are ruining kids lives!!

cosmonautzzz Looks like catholisism is going down as fast as repubicism...

Fixed heading for you!!! 'RED HAT YOUTH BULLIED NATIVE AMERICAN, VETETAN ELDER'

You should report the whole story. Instead of this false narrative. This is why people have no faith in the news anymore.

1/ Folks, the media is a secondary source. It’s not reliable. You can’t trust it. Here’s the primary source 👇👇👇and the truth: The Nat. Am. lied to the media and made up a racist story. The students were gathered in a crowd to meetup when they were interrupted by the Nat. Am.

Those students should be expelled. They exemplify the school's culture. And their ignorant upbringing.

It wasn’t the whole video thought. Video shows the “victim” behaving badly too.

Clearly another example of political groups fronting as “Christian” organizations or schools in order to receive tax exemptions. We need to revoke their tax exempt status - they are an arm of the Trump Crime family

Watch the whole video you sheep! The media has once again sparked outrage over nothing

They are more ‘the worst of the South’ than the Catholicism in which I was raised.

There was no exchange! They harassed these peaceful protesters without any confrontation or engagement on their end.

Shame on Covington! Where were the students Chaperones? If they were there for a antiabortion rally why the MAGA caps? Antisemitism by rabid Christians. Chaperones should be charged with misdemeanor and kids do community service for Native Americans.

Looks like someone needs to watch the whole video

Why don’t you play the whole video?! This is not what happened!

For those who wish to contact CovCathColonels, here is their info: Catholic Conference of Kentucky 1042 Burlington Lane Frankfort, KY 40601 Phone: 502-875-4345 Fax: 502-875-2841 Email: cckstaffccky.org

Did anyone see PJ, Tobin and Squee? How many future Supreme Court judges can you spot?

Might want to watch the whole video and decide for yourself who was doing what instead of reading and believing the cliff note biased liberal media as law.

where were the chaperones?

You don't show the whole story.....no, you are purposefully hiding the rest of the story. FakeNews

Turns out it was just another rush to judgement by a liberal media hating conservatives, Christians and anyone with the temerity to wear a red hat with a certain slogan on it.

Fake news! Show the whole video! They native Americans accosted them!

It's that Catholic religion it messes with people's minds, to many rules guilt etc. Make those boys do some boot camp training.

Lies! Watch the video. He was approached by the old man and stood there respectful while the old man banged his drum in his face. The old man went to the March for Life rally just to mess with the kids. It was a Pro Life event. This headline is shameful!

aravosis How was it an exchange? It was one-sided harassment.

Release the entire video. Not the FakeNewsMedia edited version.

Kim_AussieGirl Should we lift their nonprofit status?

Has anyone heard a condemnation from RandPaul SenMajLdr or RepThomasMassie?

Pontifex

It's Fake, watch the real videos! That old man confronted them MSM likes keeping that part out!

It was not a tense exchange. The students were the sole aggressors here. Call it like it is idiots!

Exchange denotes a discourse, which did not occur. Tense exchange denotes mutual antagonism, which did not occur. How can anyone believe other than that USAToday deliberately seeks to encourage this behavior by these shitty little twerps with such a headline?

It is shameful the way native americans are treated in comparison to Illegals.

Watch the whole video.

BREAKING: TEEN STANDS PEACEFULLY AS NATIVE AMERICAN ATTEMPTS TO HARASS HIM

Old man approaches 16 year old kid, bangs a drum within inches of his face, screams in his face, kid does nothing but stand his ground, and our media proclaims the kid a Nazi and the old man a hero. This is why Trump won.

I’m not sure I believe that statement. Exactly how do you define “backlash”? I don’t believe there will be repercussions other than a general statement of “we’re looking into it” followed by no other actions or statements.

Maybe we need another GilletteAd on how to behave. These kid’s Parents have dropped the ball. BeBest

Apologies aren’t enough!! I hope those kid’s faces circle the internet in a perpetual toilet bowl whirlpool to the cesspool they belong. I hope they never get accepted to college or get good jobs. Disgraceful.

The catholic church... nuff said. That cult doesn’t have a good track record so anything they say or do is null

I watched the video. The kid just stood there. The old guy got in his face. The 1st Amendment comes to mind.

FakeNews CryBullies

They should have their “backs lashed”

I hope these kids family sue all of the liars in the media involved. What happened to researching the truth?

The parents are probably proud of their little monsters. The 40% who approve of trump will be as well

Exchange? The Native American Vietnam vet was singing and playing a drum. Your bothsides-ism is deplorable.

The group of students can probably be punished or reprimanded without being splashed all over social media, unless making this about President Trump's 'Make America Great Again' or Republicans is your intent.

Fuck that school...this is what they teach

They are young teens. Yes, they need to have consequences. Where were the chaperones? They need consequences too. They should volunteer at a reservation and learn about thes great people of the First Nations. To be honest, I think the young man staring the elder down looks sad.

Knock this both sides garbage off. The MAGA kids were intimidating a man performing a ceremony for Native military veterans. There was no exchange. You need to do much better and fast.

Hahaha what a joke. Everything is racism. EVERYTHING!

Notice the framing here, 'tense exchange', try again. The only one being tense are those over privileged white boys harassing a native American. For shame !

This is fake news

Oh please. This is not even a pinch of what many non-white individuals have to go through every day. The world belongs to God...the creator. Nothing will come out of this... They will classed as mental illness

Shameful!

When are you going to start actually be journalists again? This reminded me of Kristallnacht. Hello?

not enough backlash...hope to hear from the Catholic Church, elected leaders from Park Hills KY and throughout KY....OUTRAGEOUS behavior in front our monuments no less!

63 million Americans supported this , and is ANYONE truly surprised by this🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

Bad headline. Fix it.

A bunch of punk kids trying to intimidate these people...just more of the same bully mentality.

The older gentleman walked up to the high school students. He was the one who confronted them!

Tense exchange? Has anyone seen the video? It's a kid with a smirk as a guy bangs a drum in his face. How is that tense? Nobody laid a hand on him unlike the elderly vet that that was assaulted by the left for supporting Trump at an anti Trump protest.

Dancing Lib girl:

It started when the boys first taunted a black man.

Tense exchange is more fakenews speak.

Silly rabbit! Tricks are for kids! Didn’t you mean to write, “people who were paid to wear MAGA hats?” Those of us who support President Trump also love and support our veterans. Your tactics don’t fool us anymore.

Fake news!!!

You haven’t deleted this and issued a retraction and apology yet? We’ll remember this the next time you complain about being called “fake news.”

That was not an exhange. That was an attack. Get. It. Right.

It’s important for lefties and righties to watch and become informed before being reduced to reactionary politics. If you’re mad at a teenager for having a shit eating grin, while not responding in any other way, then gosh!!!

'A tense exchange' is the new 'it takes two to tango.'

Look who their representative is Mitch McConnell.

Fake news.

Did you even watch the video This article is why many Americans hate you and other sources. The NA approached them. stupidity

Fakenews

Thèse were BOYS.. bigoted FakeNews And they were the victims

This looked like Trumpism manipulator copied the Communist Chairman Mao's using the Red Guards of naive young teenagers to taunt his political opponents!

Please stop giving this school, & Children notoriety. Dont you think they are like laughing it up, & high fiving each bc of all the attention they are getting? The school will probably get more enrollment. Just please highlight NathanPhillips not these children or school.

Plus having a group of native Americans yelling at this kids telling them to go back to Europe this isn’t their land is ok?

Yet in this case the adult isn’t held responsible for initiating the confrontation. It’s the MINOR’S fault?!?! Next time a 14 yr old girl reports her teacher for touching her inappropriately, I want her shamed for being a b!txh and a prude.

FakeNews BuzzBombBullshit

Kentucky...? It’s American history ...or so we thought. What side of history are you?

There was no “exchange.”Please don’t “both sides” this.

A group of young men? It was a group of hate-filled, entitled, racist bullies. A tense exchange? The native American elder was peacefully chanting & drumming; the MAGAts were disrespecting & taunting him. It was a one-way communication. Facts are your friends. Publish them.

The entire msm has deliberately misrepresented what happened, to make these lads look bad. However, even if they were “guilty” of disrespecting an elder, it still falls under the first amendment. The real hatemongers are those insisting on the destruction of these young men.

That act they pulled was so disrespectful.

What exchange? Fix your tRumplike headline.

Have you issued a correction yet?

mijoda3 'Young men'? I think not.

This whole story is a LIE. Theres hours of video evidence that shows the truth. The elder approached the group of boys singing school chants and made his way through the crowd banging his drum. The only racists were the indigenous telling the boys to go back to Europe

Fake News once again

You should take this story down and actually post the real one. What it should say is Native American group harassed a group of boys waiting for their bus. Oh I forgot and a group of African Americans also harassed the same group because they were white.

Make sure to watch a full video....the drum beaters moved into the students' section.

These kids were put there with MAGA hats n shirts to stage racism and make Trump supporters look racist against the Native Americans, thats how the Leftist operate.

All the kids need to be expelled, the one taunting the peaceful protester and all cheering him on. The chaperones also need to be fired. These awful boys will grow up to be awful adults if anything less is done. This is not normal. shameful hateful

This was not an “exchange”. Delete and do better.

It wasn't an 'exchange' and you might want to rewrite that headline to reflect that.

Writerer Catholic!?😂 There’s absolutely nothing Christian about their attitude

Sorry not everyone who wears a MAGA does stuff like this but i find it equally sickening your papaer instead of calling out the actions of a few instead now try and spin things to where anyone who has a MAGA hat is racist. truely pathetic

Show the whole video. You will then see this far left Native American vet approach and taunt these kids who were just doing a school chant! There was no “build the wall” words exchanged. Liberal media hits again!

fakenews EnemyOfThePeople

Disgraceful behavior which should be punished severely

Watch whole video FakeNewsMedia yet again

This is fakenews! Stop your propaganda! There are videos that he approached group himself.

RadicalRacistPresident

IngrahamAngle shame on you. I hope the 67% of America that are aware of your Ignorance & Bigotry don't locate your Mother/Father & make them fell like this man felt. You're sick in the head. You aren't my Kentucky. You're a disgrace! Sir I stand with you.

An apology to the kids seems to be in order - the legacy media was either duped or complicit in this hoax:

Indians need to get over themselves. The right of conquest still applies to this day.

No it’s not. The backlash is the, once again, twitter leftist bot mob.

I hope they get backlash till they repent their sinful actions. Or may they experience hell here on earth till they get there in person.

Kentucky is racist place. Not surprise all how these bigot’s are brought up

.Ringuette why are U surprised re: CovCathColonels ? Have U not been around ‘white’ people your whole life? Most(NOT ALL)have a similar mindset. Y’all never sit back &ask ‘why is there*so much hate & jealousy innately in our hearts&minds?’ That wicked spirit via Cain-Esau~Satan

abandonCatholism these people are advertising how corrupt Catholics really are. *proof* wonder how many of those there were molested?

I hope these kids sue media outlets and the school for defamation. If you watch the ENTIRE videos, you'll clearly see the kids were confronted by Phillips and his crew, and that he is lying about the build the wall statements that never happened.

Sorry but, they should be banned from the January March for Life in Washington. I yhink they are disgusting, and have done nothing good to represent their Catholic school upbringing and our Presidents mantra of MAGA!!! Idiots! And, shameful!

You got conned again. The Indians walked into the group of kids to harass them. The rest of the video is now out there. Oooops. One gay after the Buzzfeed disaster? You guys are fake news.

Shame shame shame on them! They do not represent the rest of us MAGA believers!

cosmonautzzz It wasn’t a “tense exchange.” The little MAGA hat boys taunted a Native American with racist “Build the wall” chants.

These young ppl should be ashamed and action taken if that were on a school trip. Suspended for a good long time. Disgraceful. This idiot must have no idea of Native Americans in the military and the great honor of their service to our nation. TrumpShutdown FBR

I feel like the statement from the school shows that their real concern is that it tars the “pro-life” movement, not the behavior itself.

This footage of the event might be useful to your journalists.

A graphic and disturbing depiction of the 'toxic masculinity' the Gillette ad seeks to discourage. Nothing 'great' about bullying elderly people. Nothing 'great' about racial intolerance. Nothing 'great' about brazen thuggishness and a lack of moral compass.

Shame on you . This wasn’t an exchange...it was young “men” harassing an older native american veteran. You are a part of the problem if you can’t see or communicate that.

Please show the unedited video.

USA story links to nazi symbolism issue at Zionsville HS in Indiana but remains silent on white power hand signs evident in CovCathColonels home page screen cap in article. That also needs addressed.

Fake news, yet again.

Y'all are liars and instigators.

FakeNews This Indian came into there space and started chanting and causing trouble. Bs

Lies.

fakenews video shows the truth. Old guy instigated and kids showed amazing restraint.

FAKE NEWS! Retract this story and issue an apology to Covington. Im fed up with the media cutting and twisting to fit their liberal narrative. Here’s the FULL video of the “incident”. See for yourselves. Signed, a member of the Choctaw Nation.

Stop maliciously manipulating the story to push your usual agenda. Haven't learned from the Buzzfeed fiasco, have you, Zero credibility.

Fake News.

Does it? How about 1:12 into this one?

Fake news again

This is fake news. Video has been debunked. FAKENEWS FakeNewsBuzzFeed

proof the media is lying! Regardless of what your beliefs are if any of you have decency you will watch and see that these kids are being falsely accused!

Natives attack school boys, called the black student the N word and told them him that the whites were going to sell his organs. Sad the media and Twitter are promoting FAKE NEWS

Watch the ENTIRE video, not clips intended to elicit faux rage & scream racism. The Indian Veteran & tribe of antagonists were in the faces of the teens WAITING ON THEIR BUS, chanting for the “white man to go back to Europe”. Where’s this in the media? WAKE UP SHEEP! POTUS

Just white kids being white kids...

It was not a tense exchange. Racist teenagers in MAGA hats harassed a Native American elder and Vietnam Veteran.

Hannah3219 DID YOU GUYS WATCH THE VIDEO? There was NO 'exchange' RETRACT OR REWRITE THE HEADLINE!

Good job. You joined the mob.

How is this still the headline after being thoroughly debunked? These children are being slandered and bullied.

There is always 2 sides of a story. How many people were quick to judge before hearing the other side? How many of those will admit they were wrong and publicly apologize?

Exchange? Lol, ok.

This IS both disgusting, and disturbing! A Catholic High school group marching in Washington. What a disgrace to our Parochial school system of which my family is a part of! And, as a Woman Marine Veteran I am ashamed of those students...I am also an Educator.

You mean thugs? Or do we just reserve that word for people of colour?

Shameful! That is not making America great. On the contrary, greatness is going downhill too fast.

It's great that CovCathColonels students made it easy to ID their school but what about the other Covington-area Catholic schools? holycrosshscov, for instance. And StHenryCRU Shame on ArchLouKY for only addressing behavior of the one school.

Fake news High school group antagonized for over an hour by leftist activists Watch for yourself

Yea that smile was really threatening.

The kids were minding their own business when the first nation folks approached them. Not sure what the kids did that was so offensive...unless of course a baseball hat hurts your feelings.

what do you think of this holysee ?

THIS IS AMERICA.

Isn’t it ironic that the kids were supposedly there to “march for life” but were totally disrespectful of the lives of the Native Americans while they were there.

FAKE NEWS!!!

Take away the church’s tax exemption.

The racism in the videos came from the Black Hebrew Israelites calling these kids crackers and every other derogatory term....Get the whole story folks.

You are fake news

Complete💩 this ‘American Indian ‘ is an activist! Tell the true story FAKENEWS

It looks like tonto was the aggressor and the boy was just standing there.

.Ringuette why are U surprised re: CovCathColonels ? Have U not been around ‘white’ people your whole life? Most(NOT ALL)have a similar mindset. Y’all never sit back &ask ‘why is their so much hate & jealousy innately in our hearts&minds?’ That wicked spirit via Cain-Esau~Satan

This event was a setup. There is unedited video-watch it. The “activist” has a history of such stunts. Instead of waiting for facts, everyone rushes to condemn people before checking the facts. This is how lives and reputations are ruined. Get the facts first, people.

This is a terrible tweet. Delete and try again.

I don’t see anything here. Almost looks like a left rally minus the harassment and triggered folks 😁😁

Horse hockey! That guy confronted the kids. And the kids stood and smiled. More Fake news from the Enemy of the People.

If these kids were marching as a group for their high school representing their high school in fact why on earth would the school permit them to wear campaign hats?

The kid should be commended for keeping his cool. Maybe should do more research next time. Nah, that won’t happen.

Fake news

Tell the truth!

Your story is skewed.

Not 'surrounded' as being reported, Native activist willingly walked INTO crowd of students, chanting & beating his stupid drum in obv. contrived attempt to garner media coverage & incite Leftist mobs eager to demonize any opinions other than their far Leftist radical ideologies!

So much for the value of a Catholic Education. Consistent with church propaganda most anti-abortionist view morality through a purely sexual lens. A MAGA hat is consistent with a rejection of the bulk of Catholic Social teaching.

FAKE NEWS!

Terrible headline. There was no exchange. Headline should read: Catholic High school in Kentucky facing backlash after students were filmed harassing and intimidating a Native American Elder performing a ceremony in Washington DC.

These shows how illiterate these boys are as Native Americans are the original citizens of America. All others are descendants of immigrants who may have come to the country illegally.

Wait so now Democrats and liberals care about veterans, and this behavior is worse than the actions of liberals and antifa. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm mm interesting

🙄🙄🙄🙄

'Tense exchange' Change this headline!!

If these kids are still in this Catholic high school for another few days instead of being expelled the condemnations have little or no meaning.

LoniLove Sorry just watched the whole video. I take back my comment on the kids needing discipline. Nothing like good old propaganda media shit to stir the pot toward trump supporters. I didnt vote for trump or killary. I just have a thing called common sense which is rare nowadays

Everyone who reads this deserves to watch this

As they should and these kids must have forgot about college bc their behavior and conduct was disposable CollegeBoard MSNBC CNN

Odd how this native confronted teen and then it was turned around to the man was accosted... let's see the entire video!!!

It would be nice to hear realDonaldTrump POTUS condemn such disgraceful disrespect. What happened to respect for elders? What happened to respectful discourse? Shame on these products of privilege and self-entitlement.

The Catholic mantra....Make America Hate Again. Faith...you’re doing it wrong. supmikeclines CovingtonCatholicHighSchool Pontifex

Bullshit. The marchers forced their way into the group of kids and told them all white people needed to go back to Europe.

It’s a b/s story. There is video out there that shows the whole incident. The kids were the ones being mocked and harassed. USATDAY is FAKENEWS realDonaldTrump

intimidation and mockery , not “ exchange” , do better!

Please read FULL context:

These kids did nothing. Indian man was wrong. OBVIOUSLY. But, Isn't it sad that this Indian man, as old as he appears, supports Dems that worked to destroy his own people?

How is this an 'exchange'? The veteran was there to pay tribute to other vets with a traditional song, with which he wished to end his time at the rally. He would have done this even if no one were there - it wasn't an 'exchange'. He was interrupted and mocked by a counter group.

Lies. Look at all the videos Another BuzzFeed garbage story spun out to sew division.

Fake news

Nathan Phillips is a liar and so are you. Does it take me to five minutes of a research to find the real truth.

Watch the unedited video to see the truth for yourself. Another Hoax FakeNews story.

What is Kentucky teaching its children? How to be racists? Haters? Brown shirts? MAGA-hat white “supremacists”? Has McConnell even considered criticizing that disgusting display? Where are Kentucky’s leaders? Or do they not care? And where is our President? At Mar-a-Lago?

Maybe you should watch the whole video before you lie about these kids. fakenews enemynews

Christian frauds

This is fake news...a native american protest was going on in a totally different area... native activists intentionally went out of their way to come over to the gathering which included the students...the Native Man being featured in media stories walked up to the students!

The punk shouldn't have walked up to MAGA guy and started banging his drum in his face! This indigenous man doesn't speak for all indigenous peoples, just himself!

“ Make America great again “

Hey USA Today - Why does this story completely fail to mention that the “indegenous” people’s group is also a pro-abortion group of seasoned veterans none the less ?! They, engaged the pro life group of catholic teens!! and when they received push back, are now crying racism?

Trump effect... ignorance at its finest !

What tense exchange? I saw the videos multiple times, he approached the kids and was drumming in the kids face who just stood there like an idiot. There was nothing racist, non-story here. It's fabricated outrage because the kids were wearing MAGA hats!

Video is forever. Kids were approached by agitators. Called homosexuals. Taunted. It's all backwards. As per usual. FAKE

But elders reply was amazing. He was calm cool and collected.

Where were the chaperones Disgusting !

A total and complete slanderous lie!

How funny that this is national news. Meanwhile in Chicago during a snowstorm, 3 murdered and another 8 shot. But those evil couple of kids at a rally

This is a lie!

This is just more lies by the FAKE NEWS MEDIA and the TDS left! These kids DID NOTHING WRONG!! Watch the entire video!!

And what did Nate have to do with the incident

False

why are yall still lying about this?

This is fake news. Watch the video. It looks like kids getting into the moment.. I don’t see any hate other than all the Christian haters and trump haters on social media

Misleading headline, there was no 'exchange', the video clearly shows the student being the aggressor. Do better USA TODAY.

This is fakenews

Show the real unedited video you hacks😑

What are they teaching in that school? Certainly not history!!

Hmmm. Exchange

look at the whole video he approached the kids msm news pushing a fake narrative as usual

The old man walked in toward the young students group himself...! who harassed who JournalismIsDead

None of them should be allowed into any college anywhere, ever.

Mitch McConnell must be so proud!!!

Well I know what god they serve

This is the reason young people are abandoning the church in droves

This is fake news. Watch the whole video; not such a section.

Name and shame. Do your job as a journalist and publish the names of evrey one of those punks.

My apologies to this vet for this horrible behavior.

So now being around someone and listening or watching is racism? Would it be so if the kids weren’t wearing a MAGA hat? Or from a catholic school?

Shame on you, WATCH FULL VIDEO!! FakeNewsMedia

BS and lies!

tinah2751 GOP is the Racist party, of the rich and for the rich. Composed of career politicians clinging to power thru gerrymandering and voter suppression. They will disband in disgrace with a paragraph in history books.

SociologistRay Your heading is a LIE

Wonder if USA Today the Diocese of Covington and others will apologize if they get a different story. The students have a different story. Are the being singled out because they are Catholic and wearing MAGA hats and they were attending the March for Life.

The ignorance of these young men is appalling and a reflection of America today thank you donald trump

That was an absolutely disgusting show of disrespect. Kids acting like bigoted, racist punks with smirks on their face. He should be suspended, as well as anyone who egged him on. Unbelievable this is being tolerated in our country.

The exchange was that the indigenous man gave him wisdom and patience, and the boy gave him hatred. Your mischaracterization is a shame.

Good.

From the vid I watched the students did and said nothing yet this so called elder told them this is not your land and why not go back to europe were you came from nobody has that right to tell others that were born AMERICAN to go back humans have become repulsive and brain dead.

I can't believe the number of people that take these 'News' reports at face value. RESEARCH all news, people. The 'News' media has an agenda. Any time a 'News' story reports anything out of context, it's a lie. Ask yourself WHY.

Correction: just deserts

Leave the poor lads alone. Probably have a lot of pent up hate and anger from being molested by their catholic priest/teachers.

This is why no one takes “the news” serious anymore... young men in Chicago are literally shooting and killing other young men (and innocent bistanders) by the dozens each week, but these entitled rich kids, that were rude, are the real menice to society?

You ate once again speading lies..tell the truth

Double standard and false reporting....indigenous marchers apparently marched into the boys and older fellow marched right up to young man. Creepy for an old man to march straight at a young man. But media hate Trump and spun story to hurt young boys.

The sentence indicates some kind of back and forth. There was no provocation from the marchers. The MAGA crowd harrassed them

Blatant FakeNews is what it is. These kids were being provoked and taunted, but remained calm.and were not in any way aggressive. If you want to know the real story it's easy to find the video proof of what really happened.

Show the entire video.

It is sad. We need to start teaching students when they are young that this kind of behavior is not acceptable. And to treat all humans with respect.

Once again FAKENEWS the full video shows the old man intended to create this issue...

Name them. Charge them with assault under DC hate crime statute. Expel them from school. Name & immediately fire all school personnel who were present. Name all adult chaperones who accompanied students on this trip. Refuse admission to any college these students apply.

FakeNews !!!!!

And just like that twitter judgement and the sheep that follow didn’t see the whole truth.

Bull. The teenage minor boys were approached by an adult who chose to try create a situation. The kid did not react in the face of clear provocation. He did not speak, he did not run, he did not use physical violence. I applaud that display of maturity. Racist to not cower?

You guys really should get all the facts before making accusations. There are now videos posted showing the whole event. Nothing about this article is true.

Let me get this sick twisted leftwing in perspective. The Democrats with their leader Jackson decimated all native Indians, which inspired Hitler to perform Nazi Genocide. And this story is a reversal off reality. democrats lack the truth.

I’ll ignorance starts at home! This kids actions should be addressed by school & mandated to submit a report as long as his victims age on history of veterans/wars/native Americans. His parents ought to be fined for raising a shitbag. Then his ass kicked by mans grandchildren!

Just watched the video from the angle facing the kid - it wasn’t tense. It was awkward. Goofy. Stupid. Definitely not tense. It was a kid acting like a kid. How many times is the media going to embarrass themselves with this false narrative designed to make Trump look bad?

Fuck those Catholic Trumpers. I guess God does not go to your school. Maybe a little education on the history of Native American People, the Vietnam War and America itself. Expulsion is too good for them.

You will regret posting this

FAKE NEWS!! The Native American approached the boys from the school, the boys did nothing wrong as they were there before him. I am also Native American of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin and I cannot defend him in this instance. I believe he was at fault for this one.

And it should, that was some disrespectful shit right there.

Justice.

Absolutely disgusting behavior.

And this?......

Fake news. Story has been debunked. MAGA BuildTheWall

The is A LOT of America that needs education and empathy for their fellow men and creatures. This is a disgraceful symptom of a much larger problem.

An exchange implies something happened on both sides, hardly the case, do better!

Another example of the whole story not being told to push an agenda by the lying liberal media. The older man initiated the exchange.

Disgusting. That Indigenous man is the only Real American!

The truth

Have you actually looked into this, or are you just promoting the convenient “racist MAGA” narrative from other sites? The evidence you seem to have zero interest in is all around you.

CovingtonCatholic MAGAts flashed whitepower signs on Facebook page pix but page has been taken down. In DC for righttolife march Principal Robert Rowe E-mail: browecovcath.org Telephone: (859) 491-2247 Diocese of Covington: Phone: 859-392-1500 Email: infocovdio.org

They need the nuns to whip their asses then turn the priests loose on their smirking, disrespectful faces.

Fake News....the Indian approached the boys ....get your propaganda straightened out.

That they deserve. Didn’t your parents teach you not to disrespect elderly people. He was walking around singing his songs freely and you all came up and harassed him. You should have to write on a wall 100 times I will not do this again

Here is the whole video. For the revealing highlight, contrary to your story, start watching at 1 hour and 7 minutes in. But everything before that sets the scene quite vividly.

Why not report the real story? There is 2 hours of video showing what really happened and all you can do is share this small clip? Those kids were polite and did nothing wrong

Catholics having a rough time. Teach. Those students should know their image cross ref with yr book can be posted with every college or job site in the country. Future can be tough. Study hard and learn something. Hate hurts you. Times have changed. alternativefacts SAD Evil

Lies lies and more lies. Fact checking should be a thing in your industry. A 3 second google search shows the truth. boycottMSM times for them to pay for all the lies and division they have caused !!

Heres what really happened

If the American left is any sign of the future, I think we should all be very afraid of what lies ahead.

The hate and negativity Trump has inspired will be his legacy.

The children weren't mocking they were being respectful. There's plenty of video out there showing that child with the Indian pounding the drum one inch from his face showing respect and not taunting in the least

Its a catholic school in Kentucky, Im honestly not surprised

Bunch of mini Kavanaughs.

But this was ok?

Maybe you should post some video showing what actually happened. All of you outrage addicts will definitely find something to be outraged about, but it isn't CovingtonCatholic . This two hour video shows everything before and after. narrativefail

Funny how white kids always do moronic stuff only when they feel safe.

Exchange? Is there no such thing as an accurate headline anymore?

That boy better thank his lucky stars he is not my kid because he would of gotten snatched up so quick! Him and any other kid! But I guess my kids know better!!

go figure. red-kneck student from kentucky disrespecting people like trump. disgusting human being.

Sounds like a bunch of liberals in MAGA hats causing trouble to make it look like MAGA....majority of these stories are bogus when real facts come out!

I watched the complete video. I believe all media outlets owe the kids an apology. They were not mocking an indigenous elder.

May want to read about what really went down here. You look one-sided and need to get a point of view from the folks who witnessed this first hand.

“Nazis facing backlash after tense exchange between young soldiers and Jews in Warsaw ghetto” “Police facing backlash after photos show tense exchange between black protesters, fire hose, & dog”

Except the video depicted no acts of violence to the person they said had violence committed against him. Kinda messed up that y'all would manipulate people for political gain.

Why is everyone supporting an adult that actively sought out a negative confrontation with teenagers?

How about watching and showing the entire video showing how the Native American initiated it? Do you news at all?

Name the POS.

Those boys did nothing wrong! Look at the entire video!!!

Do you’re research! The Native Americans were the aggressors!

Every news org. is running this as if the boys did something wrong. They didnt. The elder's group came over to the boys (& told them to go back to Europe) who were waiting for their bus. This tactic is used by protesters to disrupt others (happens a lot). See YouTube for videos.

These behaviors and much, much worse, are a long standing feature of their schooling, not a bug:

Well just because they had on MAGA hats don't mean nothing, We didn't have a meeting at MAGA Headquarters and tell no one to pick on Indians or no one else. I bet all the Liberal News Channels will have that on TV to Run TRUMP down some more .smh

How long does a backlash last these days?

Full unedited video has been released.....kids vindicated. More FakeNewsMedia

That’s Kentucky for you. Keep those women barefoot and pregnant.

Watch the video. It didn’t happen that way at all.

Close the school. No one graduates.

You owe these children a public apology now that the truth is out that they were the victims of racist and homophobic slurs by people who forced their way into their group.

An apology is not good enough! 1. They are MAGAts not young men 2. They are racists. They need to be expelled. & is they are Sr as I’ve read make sure their college choices are also aware & they withdraw their acceptance. They should suffer

Typical media lie kids did nothing wrong but who's surprised at media dishonesty.

The video shows a Native American drummer walking into the crowd of the students, beating the drum, and chanting in their face, and one student refusing to move back, staring back at the man. And you portray this as if MAGA supporters attack an innocent Native American. BS.

~ And now Backlash as the “Real” non-clipped video surfaces showing the Catholic students Did Not harasses American Indian(s)! What the heck, Christians and Catholics are now in Open season?!

You can’t spell Kentucky without the K

Sounds like this guy WheelerWalkerJr was putting out a contract assault on a teenager. Might be considered a criminal act. TwitterSupport FBI

fakenews watch the whole video

Here’s the real story.

This is fake news the full video came out

did you do ANY investigating to see why this man beating a drum ended up in the middle of a bunch of kids? Had you done even a little research, you would have seen the guy with the drum end up there intentionally. More one sided reporting. More fake news.

FAKE NEWS!! THE KIDS DID NOTHING WRONG!! REPORT ACCURATELY !!

Remember we stole nothing, White Europeans conquered the Native Americans. Every other country on the planet was conquered by stronger people.I Get over it.

All students need apologize to native old man

Wow! The fact it’s a Catholic school is crazy! I went to catholic schools growing up and we embraced each other and all backgrounds! I’d be ashamed if I was these parents

akott “a group of young men”...call them what they are; MAGA Trump Deplorables.

The boys were waiting for their bus. The drummers walked over to the boys. The boys were told 'go back to Europe where you came from'. Many began beating their drums and singing at the boys. The older man walked up to the particular boy & drummed at his face. The boy stood there.

I can’t believe high school teens bought red hat because I not accepted to all teens hat on respect to trump why red hat to native older man. He need an peace of 2019. I hope high school students will suspend. I am angry to high school students bought re hat (trump)

What exchange? He was performing and was swarmed by a MAGA MOB. Come on do better!

The Native American guy at the center of the faux MAGA hat controversy is a radical activist with a history of claiming harassment.

Punks like those of always been around. The only difference is that now they feel empowered with their idiotic maga hats and thinking that they have the support of the president of the United States

I call BS on this.

There was no mocking. Nathan was the aggressor.

Just another case of bullying is this what our country is all about

For the love of god! Will some please tell me which of the following words is racist. Great, America, again or make.

Fix your headline. There was no 'tense exchange'. There was onside harassment. Do better.

There was no “tense exchange”! Correct your lede.

If the Catholic high school in Kentucky has any spine, those trashy kids should be expelled...and that should be the start!

Wrong again.

Watch the full video and then decide. Check out 1:12 mark and see who approached who.

So much is horribly wrong with students wearing maga hats. Definitely the opposite of what Jesus would have done.

They've really put shame to the Catholic religion. Why'd they bother going to Catholic school for (with parents paying that much more $), if they're going to act like that?! Their hats might as well say 'Make America Worse', since that's what they're doing!! 😡

trumpsters. It's who they are.

FAKE NEWS!! Read the KY news for the real story! This is what happens when you run off at the mouth before getting the whole picture. 🙄

Talk about FAKE NEWS! This exactly what the president is talking about. Unfortunately people are so brainwashed they are unable to see the truth any longer.

Someone should slap that smirk off his face

This is false, FAKE NEWS. The students did nothing wrong. Nathan Phillips got in their circle, beat his drum and tried to stir up trouble. He’s a professional activist/harasser. Stop doxing and abusing children with your fake news.

Nope. Not what happened

Did anyone actually watch the full video -pathetic.

How quickly the left and MSM forget!

This was not an 'exchange'. This was intimidation, racism, and hatred by one group with no response or retaliation by the other group. No...those pathetic, racist punks own all of this. Shame on you, shame on your editors.

This is a lie! And not what happened! Shame on you!

Whatever happened to the two teens that danced around the elder Vet holding a pro Cavanaugh sign chanting at him and ripped the sign from him? Asking for a friend

Because without the Native Americans there would be no America at all. The majority of Americans have Native American blood in them including the boys that were mocking this man.

EXCHANGE? Thanks for reminding me why I blocked you. BoycottUSAToday

The media targeted high school kids, they laid down the full power of the press to crush them. And the stories were fake. Scumbags

Show all the ANTI TRUMP violence videos. Then show me the PRO TRUMP violence videos.

I'M IMPLORING ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR TO DENOUNCE CHRISTIANITY, JUDAISM AND ISLAM. THESE ARE RELIGIONS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE OPPRESSED US AND STILL CONTINUE TO SHOW BIGPTRY TOWARD US.

*When your twitter account is definitely run by Brad who graduated from that catholic school, who is planning on wearing his maga hat to a rally in Charlottesville.

Those boys forget the fact that they came from that too. They forget that are Native American as well and in mocking their elder by blood they not only disrespect him but they disrespect themselves as well. Part of making America great again is with the Native American people

“Tense exchange”? This was physical harassment and intimidation. Why don’t you say so? Why sugar coat what is obvious on the video?

“Exchange”?

1/ Folks, the media is showing you fake news and telling to fake/manufactured story by editing the video and making the student look bad. In reality, the Nat. Am. barged into the crowd of students and intimidated and harassed the student by getting in the student’s face and

donaldglover... This is America.

BS story. There was no tense exchange. Nobody was threatened. The fakenews media is grasping at straws again. You should be held liable for any harm done as a result of the doxxing on your site. Pathetic.

MarilynLouise5 There was no “exchange” there, and characterizing it as such is wrong. Elder Nathan Phillips was drumming when these ignorant CovCathColonels surrounded him in attempt to mock & intimidate someone they perceived as different. That he didn’t engage with them speaks highly of him.

As well they should

Clearly this old Russian immigrant approached and abused the young boys. WATCH THE FULL VIDEO.

Bullshit story

Except now we know that's not what happened. continues to push racial devision and fake white supremacy stories instead.

Yeah religion! Way to keep it classy. Thanks for teaching tolerance and not being judgemental all the time. Oh, wait...

Let me fix it for ya “a catholic school is facing backlash after a video showed a group of white racist students wearing mags hats intimidating and mocking a Native American Vietnam veteran” - “young men” my ass

All of these people should be expelled and made to spend time with REAL NATIVE AMERICANS and learn respect kindness and what it is to be a true American because they are not. SHAMEFUL SCHOOL & PARENTS

And now, after a few hours, we know this man, his history & the truth about this incident. The media's constant foray into spewing propaganda are not doing them any favors.

Remember this? 🤔

Have I ever heard anything good about Trump reported, Hell, no. If they did this it was wrong. But I don't hear much about the left cusing at people, causing a fight, call others names. But I guess that's alright

There was no tense exchange.. It was just harassment from one side.

This is not even the truth of what happened !! This man walked up to them into their group and starting banging his drum !! Do your research!!! fake news !!!! thebestcloser prayingmedic mitchellvii thedilleyshow

Why was he at a prolife event? He went there.... Stood in front of pro life marchers... Started singing and walking towards the group. I don't understand what his goal was aside from give liberal news org a photo op

WATCH WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, IT'S A DEMOCRATIC DISEASE!

Lies

This is sad and these spoiled disrespectful kids better go back to history class.

Watch the video and you will see the kids were provoked. This is fake news. The drummer marched into the center of the kids.

fakenews everyone watch the video to see what really happened. Shame on you

Yes, and we have many angles of video of the man approaching the kids and banging his drum in their faces, and the kids bravely stood their ground and laughed knowing what the guy was doing... he was a plant for staged media.

Monsters hiding behind religion. Isn't that what we've been fighting in the east. Now trump has brought it here and they call themselves Christians. Hate filled bullies are not Chistians.

This is FAKE NEWS and you should be ashamed of publishing this.

Fake news. Native American walked towards student. USA Today = buzzfeed

There are the Parkland kids who educated themselves on issues of gun laws & organized a march. Then there are the MAGA kids in Kentucky who are clearly uneducated about our nation's history & harass native American, Nathan Philips. They don't want to MAGA,they want a new America

Show the whole video.

FakeNewsMedia is not reporting the entire story... Cherokee nation

Common decency decayed a long time ago.

Ok buzzfeed! He approached them

The native American man approached them and beat the drum in his face. The kids were taunted and slurs thrown at them! He stood still First buzzfeed now this fakenews

Nice how you skipped over the part where the Native Americans or telling the white students to go back to Europe this was not their land

What happened to respect for the elderly? Those kids were jerks. It’s disgusting. They’re entitled dopes imitating the supreme dope who sits in the WH. The parents live in a bubble. Shame on them.

Anyone can wear a MAGA hat. That was clearly a setup and people wjo fell for it are clearly stupid

Shameful! Immediately suspend all federal funding to that school! Those thugs should face hate crimes prosecution for aggravated harassment! prosecutethehate

You didn’t actually watch the whole video. This is a leftist activist that set this whole thing up and USA Today took it hook line and sinker. Oh, and you’ve destroyed minors in the process. lawsuit

This is FAKENEWS

This short video did NOT capture all. The Catholic boys were ending a busy day & waiting for a bus home. Nelson was the intruder.

Once again showing the racism rampant in realDonaldTrump camp. And have we heard from the ‘president’ condemning the kids and supporting the indigenous marchers?

Fake news!

I feel bad that a true american who has always made america great can stand there mocking a group of children isnt this the story!

Y’all fall for the fake news every time

let’s not forget this inhumane school as well. Not proud I live in Wisconsin either. Something needs to be done with the schools all around the nation. But then again if you have Trump in power we are in trouble barabooSD CovCathColonels very outraged!

Question, you are standing around with a group of friends. An old man comes up to you and starts banging a drum loudly in your face. What do you do?

Oh Catholic, why am I NOT SURPRISED

There was no exchange. I was one sided. Nice try though.

What’s up with the title of the article? The kids were not victims...they are the perpetrators! Get it together

I saw no direspect or taunting. I saw an old man with a drum in the face of a young man who stood quietly. Some people will start controversy when there is none.

Fake news

The chaperones fell down on their job, and forgot to have students change into hats with pointed tops that cover face between rallies! Go Kovington Kentucky Katholic High School!

Another pocket in America where 'Hate' and 'Racism' are allowed to thrive in the MAGA era thanks to the individuals who voted President Trump into office!

Appalling. Disgusting. I can’t believe these young men would behave as they did. What can possibly drive such disrespect? Where are we going as a country socially and morally?

'exchange?' Are you serious

This is unacceptable- no more passes/excuses for “that’s just the way it is there”-

I saw more of the video and it turns out the media is once again hyping the bullshit..

All the Blue Check Mark's line up to fellate the MSM lie. FakeNews

A child was approached by a man loudly beating a drum. He stood there and smiled, with the sound in his face. Now people have pictures, and they're looking for info to dox... who? The child. The child was white, and the other was not. I'll let you be the judge of motive.

Catholic? Religious? OMG this is Nazi thru & thru! I wish the draft was still going on & these boys were all first on the list!

fakenews for the sheep🐑 🍭

WHY YOU LYING?

'We have a president who uses Native American women's names as racial slurs ... an example that these kids are clearly following, they had their 'Make America Great Again' hats on. He's really brought out the worst in people.' -U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland CovingtonCatholic

Fake news. Read this thread

Catholic School. Says it all.

Review your post, those boys didnt mock anyone..fake news!

They deserve a backlash and more. What the hell are they teaching these ignorant, white kids at that catholic school? It certainly isn’t treating others as you wish to be treated. It certainly isn’t LOVE.

😡

The is outrageous. I don’t care who you are we are here to respect one another. This is a hateful activity m.

The full video tells a completely different story. Who harassed who?

These ppl gloat & boast about how much they love America, well they need to respect ALL natives, especially those who are veterans at that. And ‘Exchange’ this word for harassment and obnoxiously annoying the shit out of these good decent ppl. This country is so embarrassing now!

Only the full video shows the indigenous marchers walked up to the boys and got in their face. Maybe do some reporting and check out the full story.

Those kids were approached and harrassed and did nothing wrong - the activist came to those kids-pounded a drum in his face - they were targeted by the activist - who approached them - you are a bigot to blame their religion - they did nothing wrong !

That story is NOT based on fact, but LIES.

fakenews

FakeNews. You might report the students' side of the issue. Typical media.

I’m saddened that us Catholics and are values of living by example are being destroyed by a hand full of bigots, where are the parents. Shame! Shame! Shame! on the parents for the values they have instilled in their children!

ENTIRE VIDEO OF THE EVENT PROVES THIS IS MEDIA LIES

Expell them and demand they make a public apology to this true American. They need a fucking history lesson.

The only racism was from the black Israelites. And these kids never approached dude with his drum. He pushed his way into the center of their group.

You're all being played, the story is nothing like what actually happened. fakenews

History class needs to be updated by the looks of it.

The CATHOLIC CHURCH killed millions of autochthons and indigenous people. These are the descendants of the invading colonizing murderers

Might be a bigger problem:

This is a big fat LIE. Report the truth!

Of course THIS is acceptable. And always has been. (Imagine if this said “black skins” or had a cartoon mascot of a stereotypical Middle Easterner. Or blackface.)

The headline should be 'Thugs in Make America Great Again Hats,' the modern day symbol of nazism, racism and white supremacist, Mob Native Elder at indigenous Peoples March.'

Media receiving backlash after raw footage exposes fakenews again.

SociologistRay All Students Should Be Put On A Year Of Suspension And Need To Serve At The VA Hospitals Helping Veterans In Their Areas During Their Suspension!!! They Are The Examples Of The Radicalization By Donald Trump!! No Respect For Indigenous Peoples(Veterans)!!

‘Put another dollar in the racist jar,’ says me to the demographic I take pains to understand and hope aren’t as bad as I think.... and then this happens and my morality-empathy plea becomes a house of cards.

And then people bitch about the recent Gillette ad

Media 'both sidesing' everything when it is clearly one side is supporting Republicans while pretending to be fair. It is a big fat lie.

The respect to people in this country is 300% gone. I'm not even sure what this country stands for anymore. Very sad. NathanPhillips NativeAmerican

See if the Indian wouldnt of forced his way in to a crowd of kids minding their own business, then interrupted them singing with his little drum and hun....none of this would have happened

Be Best 🙄

It wasn’t an exchange you tone deaf f’ers. A tribal elder was racially harassed by a bunch of MAGA hat wearing little shits. Would you have called it an exchange if Black kids were involved? Nope. I think not. unfollowed muted

Never knew you could be a member of 2 cults at the same time

Video shows Nathan Philips going over to the boys as they chanted “Build that wall!” He approached them beating his drum. Philips said so at the end of the video. I did not see any of the boys threatening or harming him. FakeNews

FakeNews

Expel them Catholics

And now you know why native activists were sent to a group of Catholic boys. To smear those who March for life. Hide the truth but it won't work.

This is garbage, nobody was harrassed, had the kid in the hat been banging that drum in the chaps face then maybe we can talk, this was some posed nonsense!

Bullshit set up. Give the kids money, a hat and tell them what to say while recording it all. It's the Democrat thing to do

Who gives an F?

Flat out lie..

Watch the video... They did nothing. They said nothing.

The mob intimidation of Mr. Philips was not a “tense exchange”. Are those the words you would have used to describe the racist intimidation shown here? 👇🏽

Common decency and respect has not decayed under this administration, it is only now being highlighted as a means to connect this behavior to the current administration.

ncshockaau this how y’all do? 🤦🏽‍♂️

The kid didn't do anything. He was just standing there. The guy with the drum approached him and started beating the drum in his face . The kid did nothing but stand there. Why the outrage?

Wrong

Expel every student on that video!!! Where were the parents & chaperones?! Disgusting behavior!

FakeNews

Jim59015446 And a Catholic all-boys high school was at an anti-abortion Rally BECAUSE? As a male if you oppose abortion have the responsibility not to CAUSE one! Abortions don't just happen they are caused!!! As men we cause them!!!

Such disrespect by this little pink. Exactly what point was he trying to make

I AM DISGUISTED BY THE DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR OF THIS GROUP. AS IF MITCH MCCONNELL WASNT EMBARRASSING KY ENOUGH WITHOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF THIS GROUP. PS KINDERGARTEN IS GOING TO BE EXPANDING TO FIT YOU ALL IN CAUSE YOU MISSED A FEW IMPORTANT LESSONS.

Watch the whole un edited video listen to the go back to Europe taunts watch a highschool kid barely move then make a judgement

FakeNews y'all should really view the whole video before putting out more. Those are kids lives you're playing with. Just malicious and false reporting.

What if they had been wearing Nike shirts? Not sure what their clothing had to do with their bad behavior? Are there not bad people with bad behavior wearing all different kinds of clothes?

Fake news twisted the truth. No backlash. Stop 🛑 spreading lies

There should be backlash. I’m so tired of the racist mentality & the feeling of entitlement to act out & bully.

Make sure every college application, and job interview has this video attachment

How about the part where he comes to the kids. How about the part where it never shows them not chanting cause they weren't. Stop LYING.

It's KENTUCKY

This is very biased and inaccurate. I’m disappointed in you. Please do better. Thank you.

Tell the truth. FAKE NEWS

Hate- disrespect - intolerance - ignorance - becoming an all too familiar theme isn’t it. No matter if you were born here or served your country in a time of war, the intimidation, mocking and harassment of individuals because of their race is disgusting - period.

earn your check mark investigate your story you think 100 teenagers don't have video footage of the event in it's entirety, they do Retaract this false story it is child abuse and chidren's lives are being threatened over it

Not a good development

Covington Catholic High School, 1600 Dixie Hwy, Park Hills, KY 41011

Except not actually, though.

“Blatant racism” is using the word “exchange” in your headline

This isn't aging well.

The indian obviously initiated it. FakeNews

Yet in other garbage msm we won't report news, this,

And the same school that dismissed a teacher for being gay So this sums up what they are teaching - bigotry and discrimination

FAKE NEWS

What tense exchange? Native American elder & war veteran was trying to finish a ceremonial chant. The little turd confronting him, surrounded by his fellow turds, was the threatening one. THAT HEADLINE WRITER'S TAKE IS WHY WE HAVE KAVANAUGH ON THE SUPREME COURT. White boys r boys

This is not right. My guess is that if we allow this We should not be surprised of teenage boys acting stupid and not respecting Native American culture.

Nobody gives a shit! The media is under the impression that only their side has an opinion.

Disrespectful children from Kentucky. Parents must be proud. Sad state of affairs when youth think they have a green light to denigrate an elder. CovingtonCatholicHigh this MAGA is part of your curriculum? WheresMitch doesn't he want to say something? NathanPhillips

Ah no they found him harassed him and made it clear they are racist little privileged pricks... n I’ll bet their parents will use money n their influence to hide it because that’s what magat do... you are news tell the truth there was only racist attack learn from hate

Why are people surprised? The 45 does that same thing and he’s applauded for it

If the whole video is out there, because many of us have seen it, why hasn't USA Today find it? The turn about backwards by edited clips have misrepresented the whole event. Stop the BS, & get the truth out.

You don’t say. They should have to write an a wall 100 times I will not disrespect an elderly veteran no matter what race. These children need to be suspended for a couple of days but when you got a whole school full of racists what can you do. Teach them history the right way

mensamule Ahh yes, when standing & smiling is harmful!

More lies to demonize white people! What is your agenda? Here is the full video if anybody hasn’t seen it

Great parenting...sit back and look for a minute. What's more disrespectful? Having your spoiled, never got an ass whooping before, child disrespect an elder/native out of ignorance, or people protesting brutality and inequality? Which turn to riots because of those kinda kids..

Fake news

These students bring shame too all of the catholic community. THEY NEED TO EXPELLED..SHAME ON THEM AND THEIR PARENTS .

The liberal extremist mob mentality continues to grow.

The MEDIA who falsely accused and ruined the life of these boys with an edited video SHOULD FACE BACKLASH! Watch the full video. These kids had been harrassed for hours including the Natives there. They tried to defuse at first by chanting with drum, but did nothing else! SHAME!

Nonsense. Watch the video.

Students at Covington Catholic have DISGRACED THEM SELVES,SCHOOL&COUNTRY -Im Mortified that these teens, were showing what their BIGOTED PARENTS&School teach them-& who they use as their role model from the hats they wore!

Such strength shown by Nathan! He prevented that little schmuck from getting satisfaction by keeping his cool and not engaging. It shouldn't be this way but at least he will always be 'that creepy kid in the red maga hat...' *Please Share*

Fake news

I have seen the videos. The elder man marched into the students rally to disrupt it. Thank goodness the native elder man opposed maga children and not antifa. The kids acted as one might expect, mocking, but no violence against the aggressor.

There was no physical altercation here that I saw. These kids did something dumb, SURPRISE! But let’s not forget about every pro trump person who has ACTUALLY been attacked. Gtfoh libtards 😂😂😂

Good!

This is Trumps version of MAGA and the bigots love it

Fake News. You should be ashamed for harassing a child. This irresponsible reporting could get this kid severely injured or even killed. Leftist blue checks are already putting out bounties.

Now Americans know about another town where racism is institutional - Covington, Kentucky; the backyard of SenMajLdr CovingtonCatholicHighSchool RespectIndigenousPeople

More like blatant fake news!

A CATHOLIC School

Now how do y’all feel about these kids? They were actually doing worse than what the kid with a MAGA hat was doing.

Uhh, your point? He's a man. And since when do u libs give a shit about vets, much less Vietnam vets?! Oh yeah, when they can help u attack realDonaldTrump Lol. I should put a pic of the HS children w/the caption 'Kids'. Shut up! Blame Trump game is boring. MAGA BuildTheWall

That’s NOT WHAT HAPPENED!! Stop lying!!

Also Kristine Powers bullying superintendent over this but silent about protecting American students against Baal invaders who says their crafted religion supersede their education & soon they'll be submitted to follow islam prayer regulations. No one forces others to Christian🙏

Seems little point these little shits turning out for a right to life March if they have no respect for the life that is already here - this kid seems like a Brett kavanaugh in the making.

Those upset over the Gillette ad need to watch this video and then go back and rewatch the ad. Is this really TheBestMenCanBe ? GilleteAd gilletteboycott

Where was the outrage when antifa attacked wheelchair bound Veteran. Get out of here. Mr Phillips is an activist who placed himself in position for photo-op. The teen only stood there & smile. He didn't snatch his instrument/curse Mr Phillips nor put hands on him. Disgusting Dems

Lies, lies and more lies. What a shower of shit media we have. Full video footage shows a different story.

There was no exchange!

You are destroying the lives of kids for your garbage political slant. Go find the whole video. The Native walked into the middle of their group. The left is gross

How about showing the whole video and what *really happened...

The left is bullying Christian kids for no reason again. Bigots.

Prep school in greater Cincinnati. Local radio WLW preaches this MAGA crap all day. Host Bill Cunningham good friends with Sean Hannity.

What kind of organization ruins a 17 year old kid’s life for fake divisive politics! You people are emotionally disturbed!

All the propaganda and lies is insane... WATCH THE VIDEO!!! The native man assaulted the kid. The kid was standing in place and the native man walked up to him and started banging a drum and screaming in his face. You liars make me sick.

I would love to know this little shits name

How did we now go from American to indigenous? So a race card could be played? These youths were approached by the drums and Mr Phillips

Wrong . The African Americans & Native Americans were taunting the boys waiting on their buses. Watch whole video or start 1:12. You must really do better research.

Momma and Papa, Covington Catholic, the Covington Community must be PROUD. This is what you are raising. CovingtonCatholic covingtonkygov

Once again...the left is attempting to shut down freedom of speech IF IT ISN'T LIKE THEIRS.

Fake news

fakenews JournalismIsDead

There parents are to blame. Ignorance start at home. Privileged little brats! Everyone knows what MAGA stands for and it is nothing but racism. Those MAGA hats and other gear represent hate and ignorance. Another problem Trump has created.

FAKE NEWS! What happened to we used to trust you!

Exchange Try again , more like blatant racism alive and well in 2019

the whole story is a lie. theres a 2 hour video of what happened floating around.

Wait what are people mad at the kid? He didn’t say anything.

Unfair coverage. Media lies again. Full video here.

The dude was banging a drum in his face. He stood there and listened.

ALL THOSE BOYS AND THEIR PARENTS NEED TO GET EDUCATED and their names published to show how they made the words MAGA become a symbol of hate and racism. They’re disgusting!!! No future for these boys that sow hate.

How do all these uninformed, ignorant, and Malicious people get blue checkmarks?

Lies

What was the name of that stupid kid stood right in front of his face?

it was not an exchange. The marchers were minding their business & the boys taunted them. No exchange, it was boys blatantly being disrespectful & trying to bully.

This old professional agitator, member of Occupy no less, picked his mark in those innocent kids. Lied to WP and created this whole situation to destroy children. Shame on him and you.

What behavior? What harassment? You mean the kids Black Lives Matter approached and called “n****rs”? The kid who stood there peacefully smiling while the indian confronted them and banged a drum in his face? Who in fk are any of you moonbats trying to kid?

What about all the times liberals attacked Republicans oh wait you tools are blind to it and people who think what these kids are doing is fine you're dumb as well.

Racism is borne out of ignorance.

What is about white Americans and religion. They commit horrible acts that are in complete contradiction to Christianity. They don’t have a faithful moral cell in their bodies. 25amendmentnow get rid of trump and these worthless cowards will crawl back underground

Listen to this racist old Indian. It was the boys being racist and disrespectful but that horrible old man.

USA Today when are you posting apologies to those children?

So sad that once again the people have been duped with FAKENEWS 🙁

You mean bunch of racists heckled an indigenous elder showing zero respect to the very real reason the racists even exist, if the natives had just let the colonisers die off in the sea instead of helping them from deaths door

Fakery

Disgusting behavior,the school and parents of these brats are failing.

They should be allowed whatever hat they want.

There was no tense exchange. The maga hat wearing twit was being menacing, disrespectful and racist. He felt empowered because his chaperones did not think his behaviour warranted intervention. He had a mob of like minded twits behind him. Get it right.

Blatant racism or race baiting?

Exchange? There was no exchange!!! The MAGA kids surrounded the elder to mock, harass & intimidate him only because he's different than them. racism Get it together...

Twisted news .There was no exchange. Stop lying.

Tense The Native American gentleman felt safe and was safe amongst these school kids. Now if you want to see tense go to an antifa or black lives matter rally. Storm in a teacup. MSM trying to make something out of nothing.

Great job kids. It’s not as if Christianity weren’t under attack enough by liberals. You have to go and be stupid too?

Tense exchange? A group of hoodlums, apparently ignorant of American history, harassed, mocked and intimidated a Native American Elder, who despite all odds, maintained his poise and dignity and led by example - There! Fixed it for you!

Exchange? EXCHANGE!?!? You're a news outlets. Words are literally your thing. This was no exchange. This was a entitled brat trying to intimidate a native American vet. Do better.

Your disgraced and decadent Hollywood “news” have the same boring narrative!. You are so predictable at bull & falsely!. As usual, you want to attack Christianity, mainly Catholics!. You are lousy biz people!. USA is the most Christian nation on earth!. Decadent liar fools!.

The guy approached the kids

“Exchange”? WTF is wrong with US reporters these days?

This reinforces the fact that saying you’re Christian tells me NOTHING about your character. Shame

A “privileged” School has been in the World News for last months not for outstanding education nor for promising students. But for Rape and Proud Public displays of Racism. Surely Trump will blame both sides. realDonaldTrump cnnbrk Acosta Pontifex_es

Let me fix this.... A catholic school stood by and let this unfold, chaperones did nothing to stop this vile behaviour from escalating. Now catholic school must respond to their failings, their students failings and the hatred that has so obviously festered in their ignorance.

PUBLISH THE TRUTH. NO MORE LIES! The truth shall SET YOU FREE Logan Blackdog 🙏 🇺🇸 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ CrazyBlackDog7 27m27 minutes ago Replying to sweetdolores SpottlessMarxx and 4 others

These activists remind me of the christian cult that would protest at veterans funerals. Its pathetic that the MSM is buying their BS. Nothing surprises me anymore.

USA TODAY =FAKE NEWS.

TOO BAD THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. YOUR NATIVE AMERICAN WENT TO THEM AND PUSHED THROUGH THEM BANGING DRUMS AND CHANTING AS YOU CAN SEE THREE KIDS DID NOT REACT FakeNews

The kids were called FAGGOTS by group of Muslim men! Why aren't YOU PUBLISHING THIS TOO? The Muslims insulted the kids, saying they shouldn't be friends with HOMOSEXUALS, the kids DEFENDED their friends and replied 'THEY ARE HUMAN TOO'!

These kids did nothing wrong.

The guy drumming walked up to the kid. The kid didn't do anything but stand there. So what's the kid being shamed for? Wearing a maga hat? Also, what's the drummer singing?

I missed the 'tense exchange' - what I see is a mob of kids harassing and calling out 'Build The Wall' at someone that is playing his music. Someone whose ancestors were here way ahead of any white man or woman. Do better you missed the story completely!

THIS IS A LIE. WATCH THE VIDEO IN FULL. They ascended and accosted the kids and nobody was mocking them. They told them to go back to Europe. Enemy Of The People is The Media!

This is not an exchange! The young man is trying to intimidate a Native American elder going about his business

paddie_em True Christians I don't think so Their parents should get their act together and put some manners on their brats

A close review of what happened shows thay Phillips approached the youth. He was the taunter. He has an anti Trump agenda.

More outrage over absolutely nothing.

Young white racist developed by old white racist...

So you haven’t seen the video. The adult comes up to the kids. He beats his drum in the face of 1 kid. That kid does nothing FakeNews TDS

students surround this guy? LOL get the fuck out of here... The old dude clearly walked right up to them and started the shit!

MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE STATE just like the President called it

Lies...Good by

Show the full story. Look at about 1:15:00 on

The entire video is circulating. You guys are horrible for circulating a slanted version without vetting.

Welcome to Trump's America 🇺🇸💔 MAGA

And by the time all the facts come to light. Like the video of the man approaching the kids and the wrongful framing the media is doing. The outraged people will be on to the next outrage forgetting all about this.

A bunch of Indians harassed some high school kids. FakeNews

Enough Fake News! mirror of Shar Yaqataz Banyamyan facebook video via YouTube

The longer video shot from an angle behind Phillips (the drummer) tells a different story

The red indian went over there with his stupid drum and started harassing the pupils. The pupils were there first. There's video of this happening. There's also an interview with him saying that he approached them when they were chanting 'build the wall'

There is no video of the kids surrounding the man. They were doing a school chant, the man walked up and beat the drum 6 inches in front of the kids face. Build a wall was never said.... there is a 2 hour video that debunks your bullshit story... you are garbage

The parents need to sue Twitter this is a joke the whole story is a lie

How convenient....

This is a completely fabricated, fakenews created out of thin air. I urge everyone to watch the entire video, not just what sick angle is being promoted here.

This is an embarrassing image for the US.

FakeNews

The NativeAmerican should be arrested! Asap! Those teenagers did 0 but show extreme patience and empathy when that POS F/T FakeNews employee /protester put his drum right in those teens faces, while beating it + cohorts screaming Racist slurs at the White Teens! ReportFacts

Attending a rally / going on a protest used to mean something. Now it's just about violence and intimidation, whatever the side of the fence you're standing

They wouldn’t be facing any backlash if you told the truth. How could you ruin these boys’ lives like this when they were nothing BUT respectful. They were targeted by the religious fanatics and then by Phillips. Police should have arrested Phillips for threatening the minor.

“Tense exchange”...are you serious? I’m afraid to see how you’d characterize certain massacres throughout American history

There’s nothing more dangerous than jumping to conclusions without looking at what happened. The man in the video walked right into the crowd to beat his drum. None of the kids did anything wrong and they were jumping to his drum

The black religious zealots do harass and use racial slurs towards at least one of the black students too, implying the white students will take things from him someday...that sounds kinda racist and I'd bet he'd find someone saying the same of him racist.

The liberal media is lying, as usual. Read this:

Well the apples don’t fall far from the tree.. we now know what their home life is like Racism

Ca-mmoooooonnnn! A tense exchange A racist mob playing the intimidation game. (And losing I might add). Call it what it was.

Must change talking point from faked ‘damning bombshell’ article we all ran with yesterday, to some bs racist bile today. All the sheep will then forget we’re full of shyte🤪🤪🤪

Ireland here. It was terrible to see such Trump style mockery and harassment. The USA is going down the toilet because of the racist, sexist, fool in White House. Shameful.

Wrong. You need to print a correction. Kids did nothing wrong.

Another fake news...

the scene was a madhouse anyway and those boys were just doing their thing when Mr. Phillips approached them. More fake news!

Watch the other full length videos, how could this story have been reported so wrong? People were trying to ruin these kids lives for pretty much being scared and not knowing they were getting played. There was some craziness there but it sure wasn’t those kids.

Fake news and race pimping ☝️

More fake news

That was not an 'exchange'. They gleefully and maliciously harassed that man. Can you please stop distorting the facts to appease the magats and that waking genital wart occupying the White House?

MUST WATCH. Here is 1 1/2 hour video that will show more of what happened as the Native American gentleman walked toward the group of high school students. There is always 2 sides. BreitbartNews JackPosobiec OANN intheMatrixxx PrisonPlanet LisaMei62

The MAGA teenagers I know would never have done anything like this. MAGA are not racist and do not behave like this I question if the students of this WA DC high school are not leftist who put on MAGA hats to make MAGA look racist just to try to prove leftist point

. RETRACT IMMEDIATELY, from every-fucking-one!😠 Video proof and written appeals from those within their HS group clearly show drummer man INSTIGATED himself into the middle of THEIR group while they were singing HS pep songs waiting to be picked up! He then got in THEIR face!

Where did you get your footage? It appears to be universal footage used by all media outlets across the USA. Was that the only footage available? Did you not see THIS footage Investigate, don't instigate!!

Out of all the things that heve happened in Trump's America this is one of the most frightening. When children do something like this it shows how deep the ignorance and hatred is and how long it will take to change it, if ever.

Tense exchange? That is an out and out falsehood. Shame on you.

Sure hope the old guy survives. Those looks can be really dangerous. He’ll probably need counseling for years to come. Give a F’ing break.

Hey , you should actually watch the FULL video. Do you actually CARE about the truth? Start 1hr10min mark and end when kids leave for bus.

The Native American activist approaching the high school kids looking for a confrontation

Bad Democrats

OMG it had to be a catholic school 🏫 embarrassing

Wait for the entire story to come out, so far we've heard one side, I highly doubt the reactionary biased journalism.

Some kids do stupid things that they later regret ( I hope). This will haunt him for the rest of his life. And why did the parents, teachers and chaperones not stop this?

The MAGA hats triggered the snowflakes. Nothing more.

KarriKuzma

In terms of the school's educational standards... ...if your students are shouting 'Build that wall' at indigenous people you may wish to rehire your history department.

Did anyone watch the entire video? Ya know - like for context and stuff? No? You really should. Might make you reconsider the merits of this article.

VORTIGLION Mitch​ McConnel​l country. It figures, Doesn't​ it ?!!

There is a longer, more accurate story that is NOT being told here! One that explains WHY everyone involved has a different perspective that seems accurate.

Covington Catholic High: Prin: Robert Rowe browecovcath.org Telephone: (859) 491-2247 Diocese of Cov: Phone: 859-392-1500 infocovdio.org Diocesan Board of Catholic Ed, Michael Clines: (859) 392-1500 mclinescovdio.org AsstSuper, Karen McGuire kmcguirecovdio.org

Just reading through these comments. Wow! A lot of sheep around here. Before you attack these kids. Maybe you should watch the full recording first. So quick to be triggered. Just the other day buzzfeed got slammed for yellow journalism and now you believe this without the facts.

Satan lives in Kentucky.👇

Guys. This article doesn't actually talk about what happened. Watch the full video. It's very different than you think.

Fake news the guy was harrasing the kids

Yep. Another non worthy news story made news worthy by twitter.

So as I see you aren’t telling about the part where the children were called “faggots” and the African American child was taunted by the group of adults....

You and CBSNews CBS NBCNews CNN ABC FoxNews MSNBC better get this corrected. This was a set up!

Now was their something else going on. I heard about some things being said to the black students and Nathan came to kinda break it up in his way. Cause it feels like we aren't getting the whole story here. Nathan does seem like a nice guy. So please get more evidence.

These pathetic kids show how thick they are as they don't know who the true Americans are and it isn't them. Kick them out of school as they seem to dumb to learn any thing or go to trump university

No. CovingtonCatholic boys were waiting for a bus when provoked and attacked by the old Indian with the drum. Look at other video of same event! The boys were waiting for a bus when provoked with shouts of “Go back to Europe”. Old Indian deliberately got into face of boy!

Disgusting

This wasn’t racism. The kids were gathering for a photo and cheering school cheers. BLM activists caked them racial slurs. The native man approached THEM. No one was racist to the native man. Stop trying to destroy a bunch of kids.

2. The next SCOTUS pick will be Catholic! SHAME ON YOU!!!

1. That’s your headline? Backlash for what since the footage actually shows these kids as victims of the activists racial slurs & agression! They responded without any violence & did nothing wrong!this is FAKE NEWS trying to set up the narrative that Catholics are bad because

Show one of the full length videos that keeps on being deleted

Stop the anti Trump crap and show the whole video..the kids did no wrong

Wasn’t great . Not young men . Stupid boys .

I know a lot of people are hoping this is just another way to prove that MAGA supporters are racist, but you might want to wait on the facts before this turns into another buzzfeed story. 🤔

This drama is false. There's a (full video) breakdown by Cernovich & others I'm sure. Drummer and his group walked over to the boys who were waiting for their bus, deciding to drum and sing right in their faces. No chants of build the wall either, and man was never surrounded.

Wow, must be a coincidence...

Mexican btw aka part Indian.

Literally just watched multiple videos. Wtf is the problem? This is beyond stupid. One kid was little creepy but nothing happened so?

Was there any taunting or was the veteran actually taunting them and the students were standing their ground?

Like and more lies!!! They didn't mock anyone. That elderly man was playing his drum near to the face of the boy. Maybe if he was a black boy and the drumer a white man you would think reasonable

fakenews wait till u hear the other side u will retract

That video will be pinned to every job application for the rest of their lives. Justice served. Now, what kind of horrible parents do these kids have ?

Fake news, get your facts straight before putting cap like this out there.

This wasn't an exchange. This was a young racist invading a man's space for no reason except to provoke and intimidate w/white supremacy. Get it right usatoday. There are a lot of racists who have been radicalized under Trump.

The old man and his group went up to the kids and got in their faces. More fake news!

Wait, what did that kid say?

Aggregate results of polls

What the UFCK kind of headline is this He was minding his OWN business when that group of thugs surrounded him and started taunting him! Have some journalistic integrity for life’s sake!!

Exchange? Get your FACTS right USA Today!!!!! It's on video so dont try to report something different!!!!!

There was ONE indigenous man. ONE.

So sad to here this click here for more stories like this one hurry

To better understand why we are where we are note that the headline says that “A Catholic high school **not Trump** is facing backlash” for the actions of a group of imbecile teenagers wearing MAGA HATS **not their school uniforms** Those little bullies were representing TRUMP

Exchange lol. Did you even watch the video?

Backlash is not enough, I wish we could sanction schools..... alas this is a religious (what a laugh) school. All we can do is spread the word and let decent people decide what kind of school allows this kind of public display of hateful behavior.

'A Cath HS in K is facing backlash after a video showed its racists students harassing a peaceful indigenous man/marchers'.There,I fixed it for you USAToday 😒 No exchange but harassement and no young boys but racists,use the right words next time

In purely objective terms, these high schoolers were actively antagonizing a peaceful protestor. You're decontextualizing the events that took place. That's deeply irresponsible, and you know it.

It bethe first that the first leeks .....something something sonfehrin

This story is actually bullshit, convenient editing, and anti Trump narratives are showing a version that is contrary to reality.

Exchange? Wow. Your editor should just go write for reddit

JonnyConk haha yikes

Liar. Watch the video.

Real unedited video shows that the young men were not the aggressor...it was the drummer and his group that approached aggressively. Fakenews MAGA

Used to think USA Today was credible, I was young and naive I suppose. The only bigots are the four black dudes spewing homophobia starting around 4m in. If anything the drummer was the aggressor getting in the kids face but they all seemed cordial enough.

Look at both full vids first these boys were harassed by black Israelites, then these NAs harrassed them saying go back to Europe and walked into them beating a drum in the kids face. MSM should apologize to that kid

This is where we have got in 2 years

These faces are hatefilled, reincarnated spirits that return repeatedly in different human disguises as that 'face in the crowd' through centuries of drawings, paintings, photos & all forms of media. These spirits have to be excised each time they appear. But they will return.

A tense exchange? Give me a break Call harrassment by its name

Watch the whole video. It changes how this incident is viewed. They had tons of vial talk prior to this by the same group and Phillips walked up to them, they didn’t surround him. Phillips walked up, face to face, with a teenager.

Watch the entire video the Media is lying to you again dont let them throw these kids under the bus the drummer shows up at 1:12:00 but watch the whole thing and decide who the racist and instigators are. StandUpForCovingtonCatholicKids

These disgraceful students should hear from Pontifex . They need to atone to the world for the shame they have caused.

The man got in the kids face. saw the whole video. as usual the lying Media edit to their despicable liking. Guess who started the Trail of Tears - Democrats! But hey, no biggie compared to a Catholic kid in a MAGA hat. Ridiculous!

Disgraceful behaviour!!!

EXCHANGE?!

Really this is still up? This has been shown to be false all day long, fake news. The left has lost their collective minds attacking innocent school kids. Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame Shame

The teenagers were standing on the steps waiting for their buses to go home when the activist indians invaded their space, got in their faces. The indian activists were rude. Then along came black racist bigot jews. Entire time the teenagers were respectful

Anyone here watch the full video?

but the left can do it and it’s ok?

well here’s the real video those boys didn’t do anything they where approached allow more nonsense to happen.

Why is this Racism? You're not telling the whole story. The young kids, children were approached by the NativeAmerican. They apparently didn't understand and thought they were being disrespected, etc.

Failure... Exchange.... do this over. The correct way... not including racially charged!!!

Are the parents also facing a backlash? In my opinion they are the ones who have failed to install any form of human decency in these kids.

Biased, selective journalism at its finest.

Go to the 1hour, 10 minute mark of this hour & 46 minute video. You will see that it's not the high school boys who misbehave.

If just once, the media did their due diligence, I’d me shocked. You all suck at your jobs and are proud of it. Embarrassing.

The kids turned out to be innocent. When will the apologies start? I think they may want to sue. Will be a nice payday for sure!

this was no exchange. this was the next generation of american cruelty, all trained up and ready to go.

Today’s Score... Kentucky boys: 1 Native American ancestors: 967,474 karma

Exchange? That was straight up harassment! I’ve never seen maga people do anything remotely decent, why is it that the only ones I see doing racist shit are people in maga hats?

Fake news. The man walked up to the kids first. Show the entire video!

What tense exchange⁉️⁉️😠🙄

This story is a lie. People should watch the extended version of video for themselves before judging

CoachWilson5 The Catholic Church and Catholicism has always be a demonic system and has promoted white supremacy and its insecurities going back to Constantine! FACTS

I'm confused, what's the issue?

“Educating Young Men Spiritually, Academically, Physically, and Socially” We clearly see the kind of education CovCathColonels High School teaches. This was not a mob of small children, they’re young men who were socialized to hate. As a fellow veteran, I find this disgusting.

cosmonautzzz They are pro-birthers not pro-lifers. They don’t care about the entire life of a human, just their birth. It’s probably why they were preoccupied with Obama’s birth certificate. I call them all birthers.

The unedited video is out now. Looks like Nate and his gang were the ones who provoked the incident. Telling the 'European boys' to go home and get off of their land. But you guys won't report that. I know. You have an agenda to follow.

Thanks for giving a link to the second video.

Exchange?

Catholic + Kentucky...enough said.

It should also be realDonaldTrump and this WhiteHouse facing backlash. They didn’t create this blatant racism and hatred for brown people...but they sure as Fuck stoked that fire. They are to blame too.

I hope the school use this incident as a learning experience and don’t stigmatise one child on the back of public out rage.

There are ALWAYS 2 sides. Stories are rarely simple & not NYT 1-sided. The students did NOT seek out this man & harass him. NA CLEARLY CAME UP TO STUDENT PEP RALLY & began his drum/song. He interrupted the students. Claim: He put loud drum in faces.

MonopointAmy Pontifex morning I hope all fines you well, I am sharing this for your Sunday Morning reading...

SDSunchaser This should single handedly be the case for bringing back paddling in schools.

Already proven to be FakeNews

Shut the whole school down and burn everyone with a maga hat at the stake. Or do a public hanging. There’s no excuse for racism, it’s a crime against humanity

FAKENEWS

Need to shut that school all the fck the way down. What form of religion do they teach?🤔 nolove shaunking RealDLHughley PadmaLakshmi AOC

Absolutely nothing wrong or racist here. A kid was standing there while this guy drummed in his face. Has the war on white people began?

Wanna talk BLATANT RACISM? LOOK WHAT IS SAID ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE. FREELY. NO CONSQUENCES. PEOPLE CHEER ABOUT IT.

This story is pure baloney.

Whoops! Forgot to fact check. Did you learn NOTHING from BuzzFeed ? The gentleman himself totally discredited the story. FakeNews is getting faker. This one is going to hurt...

Where is the tribunal agaimst racism since we know it is endangering people's lives

I also have Native American Heritage and an Army Veteran! I wonder if that person or group would’ve done the same to me? A man who fought for his country and honors his heritage should NOT be mocked or abused. Nathan’s Humanitarian Rights are being violated by erractic juveniles

You really missed the point with this headline

Get the facts stop bashing and trying to get innocent kids punished. The old native man is who should be in trouble. Him and others confront kids. NathanPhillips got in the boy's face. Parents need to go after him.

This is America.

Whitewing troll brigade is doing its traditional PR offensive with a bunch of nazi website articles... funny little nazis

I hope everyone in these comments has done their research and is now sorry for jumping to conclusions about these kids......but I doubt it

What Exchange? ..... Let me out of here now

Who's the source? Buzzfeed? FakeNews

Your entire liberal driven article is bullshit and I cant wait for these students to sue every media outlet that purposely contorted the students actions..he approached and taunted them FIRST period

fakenews if you see the full vid he walk into a crowd of chanting teens looking for trouble. Walked into the face of one to beat his drum inches from that student’s face. Sorry but your spin is another fakenews.

The guy entered the crowd of students. He wasn't swarmed. The media is playing everybody like a damn fiddle and it's disgusting

A Catholic school is facing harassment after boys were harassed by protesters for no reason. One protester hurled racist abuse while another banged a drum in a young man’s face.

It was not a “tense exchange” and the kids were not harassing the NA vet - it was 100% the other way around. Only leftists harass & assault the elderly, not the MAGA folks.

It is evident, anyone not of their faith, or look like them they don't have to practice what the bible actually says, that no one is... 'Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ' in this schools teachings

Exchange?

Hi Alex, I’ll take Covington Catholic High School Kentucky for $500. “What is massively failing our youth and our charter?”

Well done America, you learned nothing from the Second World War. With your bigots in power and this on your streets, you are well on your way to becoming a Nazi country. Way to go people ....

FakeNews

Nick owes this veteran an apology

You all are really dumb, watch ALL the videos. The Native American walked up to THEM and he walked up to the individual who might I add looks uncomfortable and is standing awkwardly. You're really trying to ruin their lives because you look for something to be offended over.

This is not cool

Hey school diocese leaders, don't just stop at the kids. Why were they there? Who supervises kids out of uniform wearing political gear, doing their best impression of being anti gospel. You just don't get the hypocrisy do you, arrogant leaders.

USA Today Fake News. We’re tired of the blsntsnt fake news!!!!!!!!

They were singing songs while waiting for their bus.

While blatantly racist and despicable, everyone has a right to express their opinion. However, if the Catholic Church wishes to engage in politics by subsidising this school, the best response from an informed electorate would be to revoke their tax-exempt status.

The 'MAGA4R'(maga for Russian, as I call it) group, in a pro- life march, belonging to a catholic school, just makes my point i have been saying all my life. The 'right' is a misguiding group.

Phillips forced his way into the crowd of high school students. From another angle a Native is yelling at a boy to go back to Europe.

Here you go. Here's the BEGINNING of the video that they conveniently cut out to make their fakenews. It shows the kids on the steps after the pro life march, minding their business, singing their school song, and THEN the NAs walk over to the kids. Why?

Good. I hope all those kids get expelled

There are tons of videos of this, and Phillips was in no way impeded, and lied about what happened. He should be facing backlash.

Is that really what happened, or is it more fake news being reported; 1:40 min mark

LIAR, LIAR pants on fire

No one knows what was said or went on before this video or after, yet the lot of you are willing to throw these teens to the wolves based on a few seconds of tape accusing them of hate. There may be shame on them, but there is definitely shame on all of you!

They’re just standing there

Terrible tweet. No exchange.

Except they didn't. What video are you watching? This is propaganda.

They weren't mocking him, the native went up to them and all they did was singing their school song. There's seriously a bunch of people who look to be offended over nothing.

Good Lord don't you even check videos to see if you're accurate. There was NO exchange. They Native Americans actually were leaving after their march, and their way was blocked by these folks. SMH ... exchange? Seriously?

THIS IS A LIE! IS FAKE NEWS 😡 😡

Your title is embarrassing

These were fake MAGAs. A real MAGA wouldn’t disparage a veteran or a Native American.

You mentioned Indigenous marcher clearly giving away their identity but the aggressors you gave them anoynomity. Young men in DC... 🙄

Only one side is being pushed about this story. One side as usual.

jncbooks It's Kentucky. The place that is represented by that racist dictator, Mitch McConnell. Nuff said.

Despicable

Twitter needs to be regulated for headlining fake news.

So a known activist targets highschool kids because of hats, watch videos where they tell highschool kids togo back to europe, the Israelites talking bout faggots known if that made msm really

Racist Americans at their finest.

You damn bloody liars! This boy did NOTHING WRONG! This story is fake, And now a teenage boy is getting death threats, facing expulsion, and the putrid hate mob is congratulating themselves.

Can’t wait to hear how seanhannity is going to spin this to make this the Snowflake Libtards fault! Or maybe it was Hillary’s emails...

Lie

Another FakeNews tweet not aging well.

Fake news once again!

Fake news

Why is an adult walking up to kids he doesn't know and doing this? That's not okay.

This whole story is a pathetic joke! You and many others in the media are trying to create yet another anti-Trump, anti-white male, anti-religion story to fit into your TDS narrative. How low can you go? You are ridiculous! MAGA TRUMP KAG USA AMERICA AMERICAFIRST

Shameful bunch of kids!

Fake news!!!

Yawn.

Absolutely disgraceful! As if the genocide and atrocities committed against these people were not enough. Fuck these kids and anyone who is like minded.

Retraction now! realDonaldTrump has been right all along. fakenews is proving that it is indeed We the Peoples greatest nightmare. accountability now!

Relax, it’s Just another false news story that didn’t age very well. Other angles of this “incident” show that the Native American group approached the boys shouting “all white people need to go back to Europe where they came from.”

America it’s way creepier that teenage boys are marching on a prolife march. That’s just weird!!

The illegal immigrant was the deplorable white supremacist. The school and the student should be charged with hate crimes. And where the F were the cops? Getting donuts?

Fake news

Which Exchange? You people are Ridiculous

FakeNewsMedia Here’s the video of the truth.

I’m sorry , you spelled aggressive, disrespectful exchange incorrectly. Please protect white boys a little more.,

Wow he wanted to take they’re energy and use it for good... to take care of one another ! How to really make America great ! Love and respect sir !🙌🏻

Keep trying to divide the nation.

We need to discuss Re-classifying Democrats as terrorists the very act that they don't want to secure our border legally ...makes them Public Enemy 1! By not putting up a border & having our country overrun /our families harmed /Democrats are terrorists

Fight the Lies of Fake News! Another Video shows so called Elder calling for Whites to go back to Europe. Group are known Anti Semitits. USA is FAKE NEWS

Did you guys know the boys were having a chant, and the guy walked into the middle of THEIR circle and the confrontation was exactly the opposite of what the edited video dipicts. He contronted them.

The main stream media will pump this up and blame trump and give this more coverage than when a Bernie Sanders supporter tried to murder a Republican congressman. Of course in that case they say you can't blame him for what his supporters do.

Someone please start a go fund me for a security detail to escort this Vet next time he performs. I would donate right now.

Exchange?!

Lies. The kids did nothing wrong. The man approached him and started beating a drum in his face. You owe this kid an apology for this smear campaign and fake news

Where is the part of the video that shows the man telling white kids to go back where they came from?

SMH. I, for one, like, most people of other races. How does one become so self-centered to be racist?

That’s dumb

This is unacceptable! The parents, kids and schools should be ashamed of themselves!

It is a teaching moment, like the Omaha elder suggested. Unfortunately, the MAGA hat also makes it a political moment. Too bad.

So who's willing to bet realDonaldTrump will not say a single word about this event or condemn those teens for being disrespectful to Phillips

Fake info!!!!!! FakeNews Correct yourselves!

That was no 'exchange'. It was elitist young men who have been taught how to Hate. They have learned their behavior from their parents and the GD schools they have attended.

They'll regret that day later in life when someone asks 'Was this you & what was your reason for being there'

You are FakeNews.

The truth comes out...Again the Fake News ran with it, without checking it out first.

A “tense exchange?” Uh, no. Do better

“TENSE EXCHANGE?” So is USAToday engaging in “both sides” attitude? So racial minorities heckled & harassed by mobs of white people is an “exchange” to you? Who the hell wrote this headline for you, Ben Shapiro or something? Shameful.

Stop spreading fake news and watch the entire, complete video. FakeNews

Lol where was this outrage when college students in masks where pepper spraying old people in red hats this is what you get you want to act petty then get shocked when it gets given back to you .

Get the story right!

Indigenous? Their land was stolen, they're if anything, legitimate Americans.

The media should face backlash after perpetuating this lie!!

Racist to the core.

Oh! They're pro-life, where were they when kids got shot at school? It's sad, this administration has no shame, roping in kids to propel their hate.

I’m not condemning this but he’s not innocent either gonna report atleast report both sides

If they were wearing any other hats this wouldn't be news. Sad it's anything to go against Trump.

Two sides to every story. Trump supporter get assaulted. Did USA today report on those incidents?

Odd the black jews pulled this video down...great the Cernovich captured most of it...truth is..the adults Indian man harassed teenagers and the black jews egged him on:

Not an “exchange”... it was blatant belittling of a Native elder and veteran

Bs. What really happened.

Exchange?! There was no exchange between the group of disrespectful teenagers and a indigenous elder & Vietnam Vet! This was straight up intimidation!

FakeNewsBuzzFeed FakeNews

Pontifex Surely you cannot remain silent about such conduct in your Church’s name.

Garbage. Didn't happen. Old man came at them beating his from. Kids just stood there. Unlike the other time those liberal $$hats taunted that old man and started hitting his signs. fakenews

busted Time to issue a retraction

Weird. Judging from the videos, that looks like assault from a lot of folks. Also

YOU PEOPLE BETTER GET THE FACTS ! You have been conned ! So pathetic

There was no exchange.

If you take strict action against these students.Then one should not be mistaken that it will reduce or prevent racism. It will only inflame passions and further anger d students and parents.

USA Today Why are you such liars? So desperate to find ONE sad little story that goes against anyone who voted for Trump, and again you come up short! Sad,This is propaganda reporting and anyone who believes your lies, are one sadly misinformed! This is not responsible reporting

DID ANYONE WATCH THE ACTUAL FULL VIDEO? The BOYS DID NOTHING WRONG!!! This man got up in THEIR faces and they didn’t do anything!!!

Pretty sad. Trump has put a battery 🔋 into the backs of white America and it’s not good. 👎🏽

Yes the school should hold some accountability but it starts at home Humans aren’t born w/ hate in their hearts It’s taught to them by the actions of others who instill it in them I’m truly saddened for this country’s future Thank you to those who stand up & continue to

Man, wait til you watch the rest of the videos and get the full story...but you’re probably not interested in the truth.

Respect the elderly. This video was shameful and very disturbing to watch.

Of course the first question becomes, were the Catholic Priests at that school fucking those boys since they were of school age?

You are allowing a small part of a hour long video where these boys were called school shooters, krackers, had lice, and constant taunting by a group of African American Activist! They were just congregating at a meeting point after the March For Life! This is Fake News!!

The Native American was racially taunting the white kid. Telling him to “go back to Europe”. The kid bravely stood his ground and smile back without responding

You all are wrong! And ruining the boys lives!!! I respect the older gentleman but he put himself in that position and he said something to the same effect. There were also three men hurling insults at them, calling them the n word! More footage guys!!!

Watch the whole video before you write the story...this is ridiculous.

Video, kids were minding their own business at a school function when THEY were approached and harassed by the Native Americans!

Except people aren't posting the entire video. The native Americans approached them and instigated.

The dude aggressively got in their faces! Stop lying!

This is a fake story. The kid did not do a damn thing except stand there. Get your damn story straight and quit lying.

Fake news.

Remember that you & I subsidize these field trips because of the church's tax exempt status, at what point do we recognize paid trips in MAGA hats as political, and taxable?

Fake news show the WHOLE video where they were the ones approached!!

And of course it’ll be the whole school and all MAGA people who get called out instead of just the tool bags who actually did this. I hope people realize these idiots aren’t representative of all Trumo supporters (however much I’d like to say the opposite).

USA should be deeply ashamed of them, but this is what you get when you elect a president like Trump.

Send emails:

This is a straight lie, more fake news.

Hey, uh, this is embarrassing but...do you actually know the definition of the word 'exchange'? Because:

EXPEL THEIR ASS!

Yeah... real tense watching teenagers stare at an old guy with a drum.

There was no 'exchange.' This was a naked attempt at racist intimidation met by patience and honor.

Jerks. Expel them.

Fake news

“Covington Catholic student bothering elder man” yet here is evidence of the man approaching them during their school cheer not disturbing anyone. Doesn’t make sense

The kids harassed him and he said and did nothing to them. That’s not an exchange Einsteins

These kids are innocent! They were being harassed by two different groups of radical, extremist ADULTS! The media better hope nothing bad happens to these kids because of the irresponsible, disgraceful media lies and propaganda coverage of this story! 👇🏽

CovCathColonels is yet another example of a religious organization that thrives on the corruption of faith, ideologically equivalent now that of every other hate group.

Everyone here ready to crucify these kids without any proof or context.

'men'?

Please follow the link & go to the 1:10:00 mark. The “incident” starts at about 1:12:00. The video is from a group not aligned w/these boys. Make up your own minds, people.

Fake news! Watch the video, are you people ignorant?

fakenews watch the entire video!

Not so fast Fake News. Further research and statements by the boys shows a different version.

FAKE NEWS!

Fake! He is an instigator that is sent around to provoke people. Fortunately those kids did nothing because if I had some old Indian beating a drum in front of me telling me to go back to where I came from I would have been mad.

Exchange? I see young idiots bullying an elderly war hero.

Nice try! The Indian should be facing the backlash. Libs never get the facts before running with the FakeNews

Truth starting to come out this guy's an activist who has done this stuff before.

Not shocked. Just call em Nazi's

The problem with this story is that there is no such thing as an indigenous American. The ansestors of so called 'Native Americans' immigrated across the frozen Bering Sea and are no more native than Americans who's ansestors came from Europe on ships.

Who cares

Boone County deputies say Jake Walter, a one-time Covington Catholic basketball standout, held a woman down this weekend and repeatedly raped her until she bled. 'Walter dismissed the victim by laughing at her and telling her that she would be fine.'

You people are so terrible. The full video shows the native guys walking into this crowd of kids and beating a drum in their faces. One of them said, 'white people need to go back to Europe.' Now you're doxing them? WTF is wrong with you?!!!

Maga cult disrespecting American war veterans

Why were Native Americans beating drums in the face of teenagers gathering to leave? What prompted this 'victim' to insert himself w/in a group & start yelling & beating a drum inches from the the face of one child. He was trying hard to illicit a negative reaction. Fake news.

JusticeForVietnamVetNathanPhillips INDIGENOUS JusticeForVietnamVetNathanPhillips INDIGENOUS JusticeForVietnamVetNathanPhillips INDIGENOUS JusticeForVietnamVetNathanPhillips INDIGENOUS JusticeForVietnamVetNathanPhillips INDIGENOUS JusticeForVietnamVetNathanPhillips

This makes my heart and stomach ache as an American and a Catholic. Who and where were their teachers and mentors? No Catholic I know would have behaved this way. 😢

The headline should read thugs or young terrorists. The narrative is always different when you lack melanin. But that's why they felt emboldened to be sooo disrespectful. Shame. Shame. Shame

Got damn hoodlums with no home training!!

Doesn’t an exchange require two people participating?

Full video here (Phillips enters at 1:12:20)

This is not Trumps fault. These are Catholic schooled children, once again Its religion to blame. That and poor parents.

senatemajldr Kentucky’s finest?

That's disgusting. The Indigenous people were here before the majority of citizens. They were passed diseases on blankets, introduced to alcohol, and worse kicked off their land. Isn't American history taught in school any longer? Those brats should be named and shamed.

It's Kentucky, what else besides racism do they have going on

This has nothing to do with the school and everything to do with parenting. Just, FYI.

Lies

A Catholic high school in Kentucky is facing backlash after a video showed a tense exchange between indigenous marchers and a group of RACSIT young men in D.C. Since half of your readers won’t have a clue what the word indigenous means NATIVE AMERICAN

Time to update your story with what actually happened.

MostHatedTeeninAmerica

Close down the high school

Wait until Monday morning when those kids are back at school....

KavaNAUGHTY proud .... no doubt.

If I was the mother of that young man, I would be so very ashamed. What a disgraceful display of ignorance.

How about PARENTS AND CHILDREN get taught some basic DECENCY AND RESPECT.

BlakandBlack Expel the culprits.

Oh brother 🙄

Future rapists of America

Exchange? Shame on you.

Pretty sure that I saw a video of that incident as walked through the crowd - this school is probably one of the most tolerant places in the country. Quite amazing how he was received.

Don’t pass judgement before you hear the ENTIRE story and see complete videos, not just what some news outlets want you to hear/see:

Yes thousands of kids from all over come there to march for the lives of the unborn victims. But let’s focus all our attention on this.

Who were the adults in this scenario?

Tense exchange? What video did you watch?

(859)392-1500 you have to let it ring like 50x but I was able to leave a message that I demanded disciplinary action and expulsion of those boys CovingtonCatholic

Really bad headline.

This is what brainwashed youth looks like. Are these Christan schools or terrorist training camps? It's time for the FBI to start investigating these white religious fanatical groups.

FakeNews

What would Jesus do

Just Kavanaugh and the boys.... MitchMcConnellBoys

What racism did that boy display?

FakeNews The boys were off away from the other group wearing their MAGA hats, chanting: “build the wall”. The man became offended, approached the boys and began beating the drum in *their* faces. They did not back down while the man’s crowd yelled “white man go back to Europe”.

Good.

See, this is why immigrants should be feared. They've got this poor guy surrounded.

Kid's name is Nicholas Sandman. IG: nicholassandman24

Thus has been debunked as fakenews You should apologize! The actual video shows an indigenous person cussing & yelling at the kids. The guy with the drum actually went out of his way to accost & taunt the kids who acted respectfully. Get educated.

Was this covered by the Fake media ?

Well frankly if it's like most Catholic organizations, students being disrespectful to a Native American veteran is not nearly the worst thing going on there.

Future America I'm terrified what kinda America I will grow Old In. If this is how millennials treat a elder gentleman.. then i need to start saying my prayers each night!🥺

We now have a 2 hour raw recording of the MAGA kids incident. We can see No chanting 'build the wall' as far as I saw Native group approaches about an hour after the kids were already there 'Black Activists' are Black Hebrew Israelites yelling Fagg**

There was no “exchange”, just deplorables acting deplorable - kids and adults alike. How does shameful behavior like this make our country better?

Fake News: the kids did nothing wrong

NOTHING HAPPENED.

Indians tell kids to go back to europe...black men tell them our nation is fake bc we give gays rights...the media, the school and all on social media owe these kids an apology

Good! There needs to be consequences. Someone needs to teach/educate those kids

Watch the other videos...the veteran harassed the kids!!! He approached them!!! He wanted the press....such BS

Rethink your definition of exchange! There is no exchange just cowards. Because we all know cowards travel in packs

Can you clarify the “exchange”?

Exchange? What exchange?

Fake news. The kids were targeted because of their support for realDonaldTrump .

Do your RESEARCH!

Look how they point out how these student were wearing MAGA hats! Why not point out that those student were actually LIBERALS wearing MAGA hats! They hate Trump! Truth sucks huh?

Fake News

What kids are taught: New York Cardinal says Democratic party has ‘slammed the door’ on Catholics

It was a TOTAL setup! Don’t believe it for a second!

To the failed parents who raised these little 💩s you should be ashamed although I know you’re probably proud they share your racist and closed mindedness. Didn’t matter he was a vet his skin wasn’t the right shade CovingtonCatholicHighSchool CovCathColonelsDisgrace shame

MAGA Making America Groan Again - our youth following the example of the President of the United States of America BASTA !

There was no “exchange”.

2nd elderly man being harassed

FAKE NEWS! Truth kids were approached by the group of protestors. Not the other way around. They confronted the kids for wearing MAGA hats.

You can tell a racist by the ‘both side’ crap that they spouts! MakeRacismWrongAgain BurnMAGAHats ImpeachTrump

How about you get the story correct before blaming HS kids for something they didn’t do.

A tense EXCHANGE? Come on, USA Today!!! You call that an exchange?

USA Today your going after children. The Native American guy went after him. Shameful that you would do this to children. MSM is the enemy of the people.

This is what you inspire, Mr. Trump.

You’re pushing fake news - again.

As they should. Seeing people getting treated this poorly just makes my blood boil. Thes kids should get some harsh punishment

God bless the Ky students. Stood your ground.

Looks like both sides handling it.

SHAME ON YOU! This wasn't an 'exchange', this was a group of white privileged thugs assaulting a Native American Vietnam Vet purely because of race. Stop trying to make it less than it was, and not calling these young adults out for their horrific actions which empowers them.

Hey , you misspelled 'racist bullying' as 'exchange' ShameOnYou

Oh no, a kid made a face.

The real story versus your fakenews

Tense exchange?

What “tense exchange” The student was intimidating, bullying, and harassing an elderly man.

CovCathColonels Your apology falls on deaf ears. It's very obvious that your school fosters culture of white male chauvinism. Getwoke IndigenousPeoplesMarch

Followup After a while they endedd up singing WITH the elder

What Peter said, this isn’t a tense exchange. This was far from an exchange. This was a racist mob hurling insults and harassment at elderly people. This headline needs immediate correcting. This is shameful.

FOLLOWUP After a while, they ended up singing WITH the elder

And you wonder why Trump calls you fake news and worse.

This is perfect example of society putting kids before everything. No respect. Racism and maga hats have nothing to do with it.

LIES!! Such FakeNews!

why put “Blatant Racism” in quotations? this was fucken racism!

How is it possible that you still haven't deleted this?

The fundamental flaw in Catholism is the reverence for the story of genesis. To tell men that god made the earth and everything on it to serve them has created a subconscious identity of supremacy that bolsters dismissive and demeaning behavior.

So much for Pence defending the 'honorable tradition of a Christian education'. Those boys are an embarrassment to our nation and anyone making excuses for them should be ashamed

The FakeNews is saying racist CovingtonChristian students from Kentucky wearing MAGA hats intimidate and mock an elderly Native American... The truth is the Native American group approach the boys and bang drums in their face...

How is this racism? You can mock anyone of any race but its not racism. Its just plain disrespect and they should know better. And what does the MAGA hats have anything to do with it? It was a trip to DC, probably got passed out.

trumpyouth hilteryouth Different phrases, same shit.

What exactly did they do wrong?

Sorry too late. File with BuzzFeed under fakenews. 9 min video and this statement debunk staged activist attempt to provoke students (which they weren't)

PLEASE TELL ME YOU SAW THE FULL VIDEO. IF YOU DIDN’T, YOU ARENT BEING JOURNALISTS. IF YOU DID, IT’S JUST MORE FUEL TO THE FAKE NEWS NARRARIVE. WHICH IS IT THIS TIME?!

What a surprise. These is further proof that these schools need to be taxed. And. This is not what the majority of Christians find acceptable.

When will the retraction be happening?

They should BE VERY EMBARRASSED!

ap here’s a great story for one of your “it takes two to tango” tweets 😉

I hope you do the stories on the other side of this. There’s a lot of them.

Issue 1: The left does this to people they don't like ALL THE TIME. You never care when it's conservatives. Where are you then media?! Issue 2: How can you MAG at all doing crap like this to anyone?! This is what pins you as Right Wing loons.

Is there a reason why you’re deleting tweets?

These little urchins ate proof that TOPs may not necessarily be a bad thing. And the gall that they were taking part in a pro-life march. They couldn't care less.

'exchange' 🤔

Fake news! The old man walked up to the kids,taunting them.

9 minute video of the incidents:

Perhaps the USA needs reminding that they are an immigration nation. Trump is a racist and those that follow him should remember that!

Did u report this to?

A exchange is a two way thing. This was an entitled prat getting in the face of a dignified man who fought for his country and continues to fight for his people. Not an exchange in any way.

Do show when the Indian walks up to the student who just stands still and lol please tense exchange dear lord aren’t we lying 🤥

Complete and utter fail on behalf of these young people and their moronic school.

What a beat up, twisted and forced through a fake news outrage filter

Did you see the part of the video before this when the Indians told the kids to go back to Europe? Is that racist too?

So which teenager did what ? And what is so freaky leaky about this video? What do you see that i don't see?

Come on . You know words matter: weaselling out of labelling racism is failing the USA today.

TOTALLY FakeNews

aravosis There was no “tense exchange”.?! These teens surrounded the Native Americans and were threatening with their cruel mocking and jeers. What kind of misleading headline is this?

1 USA Today you're turning into Buzzfeed. This video doesn't tell the real story. This man crossed the street with his drum, worked his way into THEIR crowd and got in that one kid's face. The kids didn't know why he did that and didn't know how to react.

Investigate away. This was not as it was presented by the media.

This video proves the aggressors were the Native Americans who began also using anti-gay slurs and references. You are anti-USA garbage and despicable for blaming kids for the abuse of leftist activists. You are criminals.

randlight Help Save the Youth of America by Billy Bragg with lyrics - YouTube

Nothing on the black Israelites at the same venue telling the Native Americans they deserved to loose their country because they worshiped totem poles and false idols.? No, ok.

EXCHANGE? WTF is a disgrace.

As they should , disgusting

Watched the video, it was disturbing. I’d love to hear what those bratty kids had to say about this. What were they thinking?

“Tense exchange”? That’s a diplomatic way of putting it.

The man approached the teenager. The teenager did not move.

acevonjohnson

(859)491-2247 Covington High School. Phone is consistently busy. Wonder why?

Total set up by Native America guy. Look at the video. They planned the set up. FakeNews again

Yep. All depends on how you see the news. Looks like this Indian came to the other group of idiots with MAGA hats and confronted them. Or am I wrong?

Watch the videos. They were already there and he confronts them. No name calling or violence. They had no idea what was going on. These kids are being crucifed for no reason

Orange man bad

Religion btw

Good...

Find these parents! They need to be taught a lesson!

HEY!! There was NO EXCHANGE. A Native American, Viet Nam Vet continued with focus on this traditional song and drum while ill bred Coventry Catholic School brats with no manners got in his face and acted up with no adult supervisors intervening. Correct that headline.

It was not an “exchange “ it was outright racism and hatred from a MAGA hat wearing deplorable!

CATHOLICS? Holy shit, that’s some shit!

Watched the video. Tanto with the drum walked up to the kids and started beating the drum in one of their faces, but hey, whites in MAGA hats, let's create a story victimizing the aggressor.

Those nuns who ruled over us would have beaten us with a paddle, told my parents then suspended me for 3 days...

Exchange?

If these menacing racists are the youth of the US-then the US is finished.😔

Was a leftist set piece. It wasn’t high school kids yelling get out n——r, it was Phillips supporters. He is an Occupy activist and provoked it, these kids did nothing wrong. Why can’t you ever wait for all the facts? It’s all on you tube.

Watch the whole video here for the whole truth on this you judge how fake the news is ?

It was not an exchange. It was not back and forth. The parents, their children, the school, the trip supervisor, need to be accountable for vile behaviour.

The school has now made a PR statement disassociating itself from its students actions. The video is still circulating all over the world. The big questions are 1.what have the police done about it? 2.what have the school done? Many people worldwide want to know.

Exchange?

Trump’s ameriKKKa.

Tense exchange? Was it racially charged? How many more euphemisms can you use to both-sides this headline?

This is why we lose trust in the media. This headline is in no way accurate nor precisely descriptive of the harassment of Native Americans by young, white racists.

fake news this has been debunked

Much to do about nothing. The left only wishes something actually happened. Oh wait they were wearing MAGA hats.. Make America Great Again must be offensive to the left therefore ‘racist.’ Get a grip.

These days, the MAGA crowd are one brown shirt away from Hitler youth.

It’s so ugly, even by Kentucky standards

It was not an “exchange”. It was bullying and mockery and hostility directed at a dignified individual. Your framing is shameful.

Fake news never let's you down

Fake news AGAIN

all you had to do was reference MaxLondberg 's article but you decided to Racist it up by stating it was an exchange. Typically, an exchange would involve a tad bit of dialogue or some physicalness. It's obvious you may be an extreme fake news corp trying to express MAGAts

Well, they're Catholics. What did you expect

You know there's a video that shows what really happened.

Why are these NA adults harassing children?

Fake News Alert. Don't fall for it.

'exchange'? I see one person who got all up in another person's face... a punk kid and a dignified elder... Man, usatoday bothsides with the best of 'em...

Bunch of rapists and racists in the making..in other words gop politicians.

Mitch McConnell’s state, eh? What a shock. 🙄

'tense exchange'? Cut the crap.

Wrist slapping will commence Monday.

What difference does the school being Catholic make? The students restrained themselves admirably in the face of an adult bully trying to shut their free speech down. I think the old Native American who claimed he was a veteran, got off easy.

StuffDatzGoingOn: Typical staged'racial-incident'; have a rally/march, send opposition to engage somebody of color/ethnic background. JustIn: Teenagers don't give a shit about politics or to be used by politicians to stir-up'racial-incidents', DNC At-It Again. ...MAGA🇺🇸

A tense exchange? Seriously WTF!!! They encircled him while he was performing a traditional song. This headline is garbage!!!

classic 'make America white again'

This was not an “exchange.” This was racist harassment. Do better USA TODAY.

The Pontifex Pope Francis MUST make an example of these men. This is the absolute polar opposite of what he expects from honest Catholics all over the world.

You continue to prove to the next generation of Americans that they can’t have an opinion if it doesn’t line up with the leftist agenda, and we will continue to push back against political correctness and think for ourselves.

fake news

Just coming here to make sure everyone is pissed about the word “exchange”. Give me a f*cking break USA Today. Try again.

As a Kentuckian, I am embarrassed, disappointed, and disgusted by these boys. We can do better!

If we could watch the nine minute video where the drummer approaches the boys it’s a whole different scenario.

Where'd they get the hats. Who are the folks supplying and influencing these misguided youths? Need a spotlight on this cabal of racists.

Well I’m not surprised at what happened. Catholic schools usually have the rich kids and they aren’t taught to respect others by the school or the parents. Usually the rich attend and priest & nuns no longer teach. Arrogance is normal.

Plants by left wing activists.

An 'EXCHANGE'?!? C'mon!!! It was an assault!! 😡😡😡😡

Complete and utter disgrace change needs to happen sooner than later feels like the world is ripping apart

MITCH MULLIGANS MCCONNELL neck o the woods

Nice March for life!! I mean hate... FakeChristians

Spreading lies

Little cowards doing what they are tot. Would be nice if the young religious freaks would question and fact check.

The Native drummer approached them. The high schoolers were waiting for their bus.

Fake news ! He accosted them !!!

Exchange? Did you see something different than what I saw ? I saw a group of racist thugs taunting an Indigenous American veteran. Where was the exchange? Had those students been any other race, the headline would have been different. DoBetter

Exhange?! Delete this

Nobody harassed or mocked those agitators. They came there to try and provoke those people for they could cry racism but it didn’t work. That old Indian that you liberals are feeling sorry for is an agitator that somehow is able to travel around to try and provoke people.

BS. It wasn’t an exchange. Do better!

Disgraceful

There was no intense exchange. There were students from a CHRISTIAN Catholic school acting in a way that was anything but Christian. Wonder why this disrespect was tolerated by the chaperones/sponsors?

Truth 🔥

They had a student registered as a pedophile who did another rape recently and school has cvovered for him 3x before as he is an athlete as well as his father too. All bundled up as another Chatholic sex scandal handled not by police but by church. Not what the Pope teaches.

ExposeChristianSchools

EXCHANGE? did you just wake up and start writing?

Bravo Nathan Phillips! Zhúazhiázhi! The monster that this narcissict has unbottled is tearing at the fabric of this great country. Crying shame for how low we have come as a society. covcathcolonels you may have missed the mark in educating these boys. Comments ponitfex?

Tell the truth 🔥

Don't be surprised, it's Kentucky.

“Tense exchange”? You mean some white demons were mocking a Native American elder

Good Ol Christian Values ! Wow !

Tell the truth

Poor poor writing. There was no exchange.

Meanwhile...

So the biggest stories coming out the “march 4 life” were a group of MAGA assholes harassing a peaceful Native American and a conservative “intellectual” bragging about loving baby Hitler.....SMH

I'm not defending these boys. The problem with this video is that it doesn't show what lead to this incident. It's highly unusual for a group of chaperoned youths to just randomly walk up to and harass a senior citizen.

Somebody get me a name and location of these magahomers please and thank you. As a Native American myself and fellow Nebraskan I am deeply, deeply angry over this. I have some throat punches waiting. I guess the positive out of this is we continue to flush out all the racists.

Don’t forget that the white racist CovingtonCatholic high school students from Kentucky who mocked a NativeAmerican veteran were chaperoned by parents and staff. And don’t forget whose rhetoric and hatred inspired them: Trump. Here’s the webpage of the MAGA hat wearing kids

Of course they acted that way. Boys will stay boys if their are no girls to impress. All boy Catholic school sounds like a breeding ground for pent up male rage

The TRUTH about those kids. You leftists will twist anything and anyone to make your false bs up! Check out hodgetwins’s Tweet:

Bullshit! That was another set-up by left-wing groups, one of their favorite tactics, making these acts look like they're Trump supporters, conservatives, or Republicans. Don't be so goddamned stupidly gullible, and do your job.

why did he approach and confront the boys, getting in their faces, and why did his friends yell racist insults and say 'go back to Europe white boy'? There are other videos out there, do your research. typical of twitter to jump to conclusions.

March for Life is against abortion but when I saw the video..ironically these kids were incompletely aborted fetuses... not human beings!

He confronted them. Now tell the truth

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, THIS IS ABSOLUTE BS...

Has nothing to do with a MAGA hat or either political party. It has everything to do with extremely poor parenting, which sadly will affect these kids in multiple ways for years.

I'm sure there's more to this story...

More lies from globalists LW media

And the Indians told the students “White people, go back to Europe, this is not your land.”

Pathetic Reporting....

Delete this. Now!

I certainly hope there will be backlash heaped on these disgusting young men trying to intimidate an elder. Who is teaching these ignorant white kids?

Set up by liberals once again.

Exchange? Beeech, where?

Lies. BuzzFeed another story.

Julie Weiss Sandmann.

F-U, USA-1930. This was not a 'tense exchange', This was Hitler youth blocking a Native American from completing his yearly ritual to the Lincoln Memorial. The Hitler youth blocked his path. Try journalism, not propaganda. You know, the 4th Estate? Resist

Wonder what the school is really thinking. Something like our little racists-in-training did such a good job of harassing those people of color. Do they know that Indians were here before we made America great (with a bloody invasion) the first time?

Must subscribe you will love all the different content that will be talked about in the videos to come thank you

Don't forget, this is Mitch McConnell territory.

Here's what really happened. USA Yesterday.

'Tense exchange'?! No this was outright racist harassment & if you can't call out this behavior outright for what it was, then you are part of the problem!

Didn’t the protesters walk up to the kids But the hats they were wearing changes the narrative doesn’t it?

Donald Trump opened the door to all the closet racist to come out and show their true colors. To the parents of this kids, congratulations for dropping the ball.

FakeNews

Fake news

EXCHANGE?!?

„Tense exchange“ ... ah, harassment?

school children not 'young men'. They were approached by the man. They were laughing at him as children can do. They appologized later. Media is the bad guy in this for trying to make something out of this.

FakeNews

Where’s your outrage for this usatoday?

Don't believe this garbage. They're lying

I hope so. I hope they gave tremendous backlash.

Sitting in my car in Brisbane, Australia. You’ve just made the local radio news report, boys. Your actions are not acceptable in any country. Poor form.

Did they make Wounded Knee the punchline for a racist joke? Turn Pochahantas into a slur of a sitting US Senator? Might want to look at what’s said at the WhiteHouse and add to your story. They both wear MAGA hats.

Things that didn’t happen for $500

If you show all of the original video... These kids were already there when the indigenous marchers walked up to them provoking the young men. Media again spinning fake news for the liberal agenda.

Hey, MerriamWebster? Can we get the definition for exchange, please? Some wordsmith here needs it.

Not true

When the real news comes out you'll find out the Indian man decided to protest in the middle of a rally in support of realDonaldTrump! Fake news really is awful at brainwashing people lately!😎

Watch the entire video and you will see the drummer man pushing his way into the center of their group while getting in their faces and beating his drum and chanting. Stop manipulating and lying for journalism’s sake.

'tense exchange'? Did you watch the video? There was taunting, mocking and disrespect by those MAGA hat wearing white privilege kids. Full Stop!

Those students need to be disciplined severely/ expelled! I went to a Catholic HS and let me tell you we NEVER would of gotten away with this Bullshit! I suggest people call the Catholic Diocese and complain

A “tense exchange,” seriously? They swarmed and shouted at a war veteran while he was conducting a sacred ceremony. Fix your sh*t, USA Today.

Hard to know exactly what was in the young man’s mind as he stared down the Elder. But his smug arrogance tells much. His righteous smirk is vile and horrifying. His strident countenance implies he feels superior to the wise Elder. To this boy, MAGA apparently means...supremacy.

You didn't report on the Pro-Life march until someone came up with a video that you could smear it with. You should be ashamed of your tactics but you're not. Btw, there's real news out there with the truth of what really happened. FakeNews

This is the LAZIEST reporting I’ve ever seen. Shame on you.

This guy walks around and antagonizes people. Sad sad CovingtonCatholic He knew exactly what he was doing to these teenagers CarsonDaly BuzzFeed

Good they deserve it

They was no exchange in the video clip I witnessed. The language to describe racism by journalists need to be fix quickly. No need to make it look nice the is nothing nice about what Nathan Phillips experiences. He was so gracious and dignified about it all . Making me tear up.

Oh stop, he’s playing a drum, and the kids are doing what FakeNews

Not surprised! Kentucky is a very racist state. My mom was not allowed to shop in stores or stay in hotels when she visited in the 50’s. Sad to see nothing has changed and the children are being taught hatred by their hypocrite parents, who are sending them to a Christian school!

Try again.

Yeah, CLEARLY NOT an EXCHANGE. That was bullying, harassment, intimidation. Do I really need to post a photo from the South during the Civil Rights struggle of the sit-ins and all the 'white kids' pouring condiments and milkshakes on the protestors?!! Do WAY BETTER!

Seriously, USA Today?! Correct your headline and issue an apology. This was harrassment, bullying, intimidation and racism. And you’re enabling this behavior with your marshmallow, inaccurate headline. Shame on you.

.......surprise this was a lie!

aravosis Shameful display of disrespect.

I've seen the video. It's a video of a man banging a drum in the teens face and tons of people standing around watching & filming. Hard telling who was harassing who. Fake news? Any reasonable person has to wonder.

Help Save the Youth of America by Billy Bragg with lyrics - YouTube

we know your lies

“Exchange” is a remarkably both-sides term for what happened. Do better.

Kids were fine. Stop the lies

That trump like punk needs to be expelled. And the ones who stood around need to be expelled.

Hmm seems like Gillette actually knew what they were talking about. - to all the men whining about a comercial

aravosis Exchange? GTFO

Report the entire story. This group of Native Americans are lying about what happened.

'Young men' you mean kids. They wanna act immature, call them what they really are.

Delete yourselves with this damn headline. “Tense exchange...” Come on. racist supremacist sayit maga

It wasn't intense. It's their right to assemble and protest.

“Facing backlash?” It needs to be shut down. Time to take the religion out of politics and education. AbolishCatholicSchools

Was the student who is black and also laughing along with the other boys also a racist? Or is he just invisible to you?

Is “exchange” the new euphemism for a field trip of Nazi- esqe faux Christian youth, publicly degrading Native American elders? USAToday is a thinly veiled crayon 🖍 of partisan news. Painting racism with a watercolor white wash.

How was that an “exchange”?

Fake!!! Native American walked up to the boys! This is fake as it gets! There is video to prove it!

Fake news

Lol at those saying it wasn't an exchange.

You codlickers really don't have any idea what really happened. Do you?

'Exchange'? Idiots.

Why should a high school be held accountable? Is the Veteran accountable for confronting students with his BS? Hell, he must have instantly became an anti-war protestor after NAM to avoid getting ATTACKED, SPIT and RIDICULED by same DEMS now!

Native guy telling white people to go back to Europe is worse than teen standing in front of the drummer smiling.

He is everywhere

Bad tweet , very bad tweet.

How is what the school facing the story? The school isn’t the victim. The school’s students were the aggressors. Ask questions about the school.

Delete this story!! This is FakeNews and y’all are perpetuating a lie, sacrificing the futures of children to push a political agenda. It’s disgusting and proves how unreliable you are as a “news” outlet! propaganda CovingtonCatholicHigh MarchforLife2019

God this is a terrible headline. Define 'exchange' please. Looks like some little bastards were taunting an elder (who happens to be a veteran). The elder kept about his business - ignoring the little s**ts

Hmm. You might want to take a look at the latest video of that in incident

Exchange? Are you fucking serious? I'm surprised you didn't add 'a group of fine, decent young men.'

What exactly did he say? I didn’t hear any words exchanged. Sorry but this looks like much ado about nothing. What in the world would make this Native American cry?

ALL- I mean ALL - you liberals have lost your ever-loving minds!

Get the nuns on it!!

The media lies. It can not be trusted and is run by centralized multinationals that only wish to divide and enslave. There’s almost no hope for democrats, they believe anything if it comes from a corporation. But not everyone is a sheep Democrat.

All of those kid's parents should lose their jobs. Clearly their parents are pieces of shit too.

CovCathColonels There is no honor and no dignity in your organization if you allow these kids to get by unscathed. Don’t let your parents hide behind high priced lawyers and Catholicism when it “sounds good.”

There was NO exchange WTF is wrong with you scumbag teens harassed a Native American & Vet who was honoring other Vets

Omg...false flag...a mountain out of a mole hill. This is ridiculous. Those kids had to stand there and wait for their bus. They were not attacking anyone. The native America man approached their crowd. I am so absolutely sick of this PC bullshit. Leave these kids alone.

The double standard is so blatant 🤮. Why don’t you ever show progressives in a bad light? Quit your agenda drive biased fake news.

I’m not one to blame a school community but when a huge group of students openly mock a Native American vet, it makes me wonder what they’re being taught in school or what they’re being exposed to 🤔

There was no 'exchange.' And let's identify the 'young men' correctly as white christians.

aravosis That was not an 'exchange.' Get it together, it's not that damn hard.

FAKE NEWS........FAKE OUTRAGE....... AGAINST A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS WHO

Ya think?

What were you looking at to call this an exchange? Did you see a different version than the rest of the world? Fix your article!

I'm calling BULLSH!!

He didnt do anything wrong. FAKE NEWS YOU PPL ARE PATHETIC!! THIS MAN APPROACHED THOSE KIDS AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS INSTIGATING, JUST BECAUSE HES INDIGENOUS DONT MEAN HE GETS A PASS...

Why dont you watch the video, this is Fakenews

Tony the activist! He goes to all marches. He approached these school boys.

Fake News strikes again... again....They show you one angle of video....No credibility.

Exchange?

Look from another angle...

Wrong.

FakeNewsMedia

Amen to this Terrence!

Aren't we the ones that forced natives out of their land. We made them walk and starve in the trail of tears.

You might want to slow your roll....

Kid did nothing wrong ,another fake news hit. Kiss my American $$$= liars

There was no exchange Wtf is the matter with you One man sang a song and beat a drum. Everyone else yelled, jumped up and down, got in his face, disrespected and mocked him. How in the holy hell is that an “exchange”? FIX IT

hollyrpeete I smell a Democrat setup

Your students out in the world define you and your student culture. Those parents and admin. have failed. This is another example of why pulling the country together is so hard.

The school should also reprimand the parents of these ill-brought-up brats. The parents need coaching on manners and parenting.

False narrative. Drummer walked up to the kid

Exchange means there are two parties participating. This is just a boy trying to intimidate a hero.

Exchange the word exchange with intimation on the part of the young men.

Tense exchange? No. What is wrong with you?

FakeNews

EXCHANGE Who wrote this article must be siding with the racist kids

🤔

What?

Arrest those punks and make them work for Habitat for Humanity on a reservation.

this was a mob, not an exchange. watch the video. STOP EQUALIZING THIS BEHAVIOR!!!

.Pontifex - Might be time to circle the wagons and decide what we stand for as a Church, and what we ask of our “Catholic” school leaders. What are we teaching our children?

Bunch of white kids

BS. I watched MULTIPLE videos. That kid did nothing wrong.

Yes they are facing backlash and it’s totally undeserved BS!

It wasn’t an exchange.

You taught them well, 45‼️‼️‼️ 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

ArchbishopKurtz Pontifex priest from same region of hate filled maga boys from coventry catholic sickening.. 'He wrote about the massacre of children in Newtown & denounced the 'left' for politicizing the tragedy but offered no thoughts of comfort'

What exchange? It was one sided

OK NOW O EFFING K. This was not an exchange. Ugly smug mob of racists harassed, intimidated, & mocked a dignified elder veteran singing for calm & peace. Have the integrity to apologize for mischaracterizing him & stating false equivalence w/the his harassers. FFS

This is still here?

CovCathColonels not very very christian are you?

Horrible

Tense? Is that French for 'racist'?

MakeAmericaNativeAgain

It wasn’t an exchange. Honorable Viet Nam veteran and Omaha Elder Nathan Phillips was being mocked and harassed by teenage MAGA t-shirt and hat-wearing racists. Get it right.

I can understand them wanting to protest - they do have freedom of speach - just like everyone else... but this wasnt a protest march - this was a religious ceremony - so I am at a loss why they were even there

Leftist set up

Absolutely disgraceful

I guess They're teaching these kids that all lives matter... Entitled little brats

canucksrepublic That Kentucky Catholic school better do something.

I’d argue “exchange” was the wrong word.

Exchange? Really. Your racism is showing usatoday

This is typical FakeNews propaganda . The kid was minding his own business and the NA walked over to him and banged the drum in HIS face. He did nothing obscene or disrespectful 👇

A bunch of pro lifers that all should have been aborted.

Report this fake account please.

What do we expect from anyone from Kentucky. And from a Catholic school even worse. Can't trust a religious group that preys on the youth and covers it up. Double bad. They are future gunmen odass shooting in the making.

You guys are disgusting. An elder and war veteran. That’s no exchange.

Thank you CovCathColonels for reminding us that abortions should always be a choice.

You need to fix your very misleading and flat out untrue headline. There was NO “tense exchange”. The nastiness was a one-way atrocity committed by magabrats

Let the school know how you feel about these punk kids trying to intimidate an elderly veteran!

Another example that abortion is necessary

Fake news

'exchange'? Is that like 'racially tinged'?

Who was pounding a drum in whose face? And so we can’t make fun of people?

Check out johncardillo’s Tweet:

What video did you watch ? The one I saw had a teen in a MAGA hat trying to menace and intimidate an elderly Indigenous American— who’s also a Vietnam vet. Reassess your reporting.

BrettKavanaugh

He didn't mock a native American watch the whole video. He controlled himself well when the elderly man got in his face. Facts are import.

I hope their parents are proud very Christian! NOT

Pontifex it’s time to weigh in Your Holiness!! senatemajldr realDonaldTrump

hope these parents are proud. of my children did that, oh I would rain hell fire on their asses...

'Exchange'?

TENSE!!!!🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Exhange Are you serious? Did you even watch the video? This is not journalism. Do your job!!

Shame on those ignorant students.

What is wrong with these children?!? They look so ridiculous and embarrassing!

USA Today acting like the white mob wanted to engage in an “exchange” by mocking an old Native American veteran.

Where is the exchange?

Native American man harassed by teens speaks out CNN

Me trying to find this “exchange.”

They represent all trump supporters

This is a really bad tweet. Do better.

Unbelievable... and from Catholic school kids....Parents ..what are you teaching your kids? How can they be so young ... so uneducated..and hateful....Parents, School officials, and kids... Wake Up... take a serious look at what these kids are expressing, shear ignorance !

DO YOUR JOB. CORRECT THIS TWEET. This was not an exchange. It was threatening harrassment by assholes in Trump MAGA hats.

'Exchange' implies it was both ways. It was not. Fix your narrative.

All I want to know is that there is no public money going into this racist school.

It was not a tense exchange. It was racist harassment of peaceful demonstrators.

This racist incident requires more than an apology from the high school. The male students, need to learn from this incident, and personally apologize, for their disrespectful behavior. As stated, it’s a matter of respect for elders and indigenous Americans.

Superintendent supmikeclines was in DC with them.

Poor description. No tense exchange. A mob of unruly and racist brats harass a serene and honorable elderly gent.

Leave the kids alone they are standing up for God and Country

The MAGA teens interrupted Native American Veteran at prayer at Lincoln Memorial. His song for the departed is his religion. Horrendous reporting.

This school should be closed permanently Because of its promotion of hate speech.

Look at all of these sheep. Have you seen the videos because these kids 1)defended gays against 4 men, protected their black friends as the same group called them the N word and said their white friends would steal their organs. Then were harrassed with racist taunts. GTFOH

“Exchange” implies give and take between parties. Taunting Native Americans is not an exchange, especially when proud people absorb the bigotry without dignifying it with an answer. Can anyone at Gannett at least pretend to be better?

A Catholic school with no name?.. how polite you are!

istandwithnativeamericans RacistGOP UnAmerican

LOL “exchange”...bOtH sIdEs!

White kids who feel entitled to do so from Kentucky, I’m shocked...I don’t have words for this type of shit anymore. NathanPhillips is a Vietnam vet at that. When does the MAGA start? Or is this it?

Sooo blown out of proportion!! The boys are not harassing the man!!

fakenews

What kind of a headline is this? Tense exchange? There was no exchange, just a bunch of boys acting out and trying to intimidate someone. DoBetter

I watched full video...wow...the media totally made it look like the kids were to blame..what a lie

Those kids need this bad!

No fucken respect dude I'm not Indian but I have respect

Racists, what else ? 😡

Those teens didn't just wake up one day and say, hey let's go cause shit, they were indoctrinated, bred to fear, hate, and worse of all, think less of people for no good reason.

Oh so lazy summary, smacks of untrue bothsidesism

What about the the students who get ridiculed for standing up for their right to believe in what they want to believe in? This dude was harassing that kid for his beliefs

'Make America great again'

MAGA hats are symbols of hatred. May those little deplorables learn the hard way.

The elder went into the group and wanted a faceoff. So sad

Sounds like more Buzzfeed or CNN fabricated horseshit.

You are NOT Pro Life! You are Pro Fetus! An all male school rallying against abortion AND being disrespectful to a Native elder? Sick. See GilletteAd gil.

Kentucky home of the intermarriage of white cousins.

How is this an exchange? Be better, .

Saw multiple videos. This story has been seriously spun by the media.

I love the folks who say WWJD, are usually the ones who do crap like this. Hypocrites MAGAts

They should be ashamed of themselves and these youngsters suitably punished.

They have as much right to their beliefs as u do yours get over it.

rhonda_harbison “Exchange is the wrong word for this racist bullying act of disrespect & intimidation. “Exchange” implies two sides, enough with the two sides bullshit.

That's what happens when POTUS is a Racist!

'tense exchange'? More like MAGA hat wearing deplorable racists harassed native Americans. That's what Republicans do.

Correct that sentence, please.

You people have lost your minds

That's exactly what didn't happen smh.😏

Oh, go fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yourselves and your b.s., RACE BAITING NONSENSE. 😑

Sickening, parents and chaperones too.

Show the whole video. Kids are doing there own thing and he goes out of his way to bang his drum right in front of them because he doesnt like their opinion. They argue, the end.

Except they didn’t. Do YOUR Damn jobs.

What? Is this journalism? You're fired

Young men ? Those were immature boys.

Fake News

JoeBarri I’m still waiting to hear where there chaperones were and why they allowed this to happen.

Are you going to interview anyone that was actually there, or only take one side’s version of events, and a video taken out of context?

What are you teaching your kids?

Boys will be Boys

Grow up everybody. This is ridiculous. Nobody did anything wrong. The man the boys. Allllll good. Great music bTw.

DBChirpy I do not see an “exchange”. I see taunting by the MAGA boys. Citizens should write to the Pontiff, Bishop of diocese, the principal of the school. At a time when RCC is still dealing with pedophilia, its needs to be strict with practicing what they are preaching.

Fucking nazis hiding behind the paedophilic catholic faith. No wonder they’re angry

Is it me or has the MAGA attire become a symbol of hatred? I heard a tv interview of a TSA worker who also described mocking and taunting by peeps wearing these. Has it become more than a campaign for re-election? Has it become a campaign for white nationalism? Quite disgusting.

Always the South.

“Tense exchange “?!? What freaking video did you watch There was no exchange. There was a tribal elder doing his best to maintain dignity in the face of a smug, entitled group of teens.

They should be suspended at least and work at a Native American site.

EXCHANGE? WHERE?

This really makes me ashamed to be from Kentucky...

'exchange' mu A**. he was harassed

Right on! Tax Religious organizations! What would Jesus do?

Stop your drama!!! Watch the video & that old man was the one who went to the young teens! MSM is taking trash again! 😠

PUNKS!!! No other explanation

Those teens, their parents, their school, their religion turned them into RADICALIZED CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS.

The only thing I learned after ten years in Catholic school, was that I didn’t want to be Catholic.

The new faces if evil are being bred at CovCathColonels high school. WWJD?

Check out the full video. Looks like the indigenous dude was the aggressor and the student just stood there.

where was the outrage when this happened

If they didn’t have those hats on their would be no national attention just saying

Do better. There was no exchange. There was a racist mob harassing a veteran and elder. Name racism. Quit being cowards.

this is not a tense exchange. This man continued to sing his prayer despite the harrassment he faced by this mob of children and their sponsers. The title of your article is heinous. Shame on you

Looks like a kid smiling and a Native American banging on a drum in his face. Nothing happened

Wow. This speaks loudly, and it will echo into the future of our youth.

Fake news! When will this hateful media stop spreading lies!

This is totally fake news!!! The kids stood there ground and was approached by a grown man beating that drum!! I’m glad those kids didn’t back down an inch!!!

If you look up any accounts for this school they're all closed to outsiders on Twitter...

Vile, embarrassing humans.

“Tense exchange”

The parents of those children make me Sick they raise such hatred and encourage indifference. We are all people no matter race, or creed. I will never live in kentucky with all the racist people there that make it ok to treat other people this way

OH HELL NO! Not what happened at all. Asshat princelings harassed an elderly native man. Period. End of story. Do better.

Nothing happened, looks like someone banging a drum in a kids face. The kid isn’t being aggressive at all

Where is the blatant racism?

Fake news

White young men. That's not irrelevant. And White should not be a default assumption about the subjects of a story.

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂This is who these ppl have always been since they crawled on all fours out their caves, why would you expect them to act like decent humans NOW?!, they NEVER HAVE, NEVER will..jus wht ppl being wht, nothing unusual to see here..wht ppl destroying the world

Exchange? Looks more like a one-sided bullying by entitled MAGA brats

It wasn’t a “tense exchange”. It was a poorly raised, entitled, self satisfied little brat screaming and jeering at a man superior to him in every way. This child may be beyond salvaging. Who raised him?

AP FACT CHECK: People are putting the blame on this incident on these shit-head kids. But it takes two to tango. These kids being racist assholes is one reason for this. But a native American Vietnam vet enjoying his first amendment rights is another.

It wasn't a tense exchange. Stop with the clickbait headlines. They harassed an elderly man.

Remember the faces and actions of these maga racist boys, block them from moving forward, no jobs, no good college. Disrespeting American heroes is something they learned from our racist-in-chief realDonaldTrump CovingtonCatholicHighSchool

What they acted fine let’s stop being over sensitive

Who do these kids think they are? Especially the one little punk trying to stare down the man with the drum. Zero respect for anyone

'Exchange '

Black america...

How is it a tense exchange when one man is singing and everyone else is smiling?

This word, 'exchange' -- you use it, but I do not think it means what you think it means.

Now that the whole video is out, these kids deserve an apology! They were stalked and harassed by the tribesmen!

Blatant fake news. What really happened with the MAGA hat kid from CovingtonCatholic and the Native American

Elder Nathan Phillips at Standing Rock. Show some f'n RESPECT!

There are no excuses for the families that raise their children to behave in this way.

The other videos that have surfaced clearly show the Native Americans approaching the kids, not the other way around. Bonus: here’s video of one of the “elders” yelling “you people go back to Europe” at the kids you’re condemning.

From the 2018-19 Parent/Student handbook, the Covington Catholic High School phone number is 859-491-2247. It appears they are out of session on 1/21, so flood them with calls on Tuesday on until they announce all disciplinary actions have been taken.

Y'all just going to ignore the homophobes?

I don't think a screaming mob surrounding an old veteran counts as 'a tense exchange'.

Exchange?

More made up BS!

young indigenous people like me are taught to never disrespect our elders. the video of the march upset me but it also showed how the man (Nathan) had no fear. that proves us natives are not afraid of ignorant people like you and we are still here and will remain here.❤️❤️

These are not just a group of young men. That's both sidesing the story . These are aggressive white supremacists as can readily be determined from the video even with the sound off. And that indigenous marcher is a Vietnam Veteran. Do better.

“exchange”. wtf did you see that elder Native American do other than sing his song to honor his fallen brothers Who writes your headlines- no wonder you are free at the Holiday Inn

So disgusting how this generation of kids are growing up where are the parents I’d be ashamed to be any of these kids parents!.

Horrible headline. Tense exchange? I guess the drum was threatening? Clean up this headline or you're doing the ' both sides' bullsh*t.

I always find it disturbing when the youth start to wear the caps & uniforms of their Commander-in-Chief to engage in acts of hostility..

Hmm, Kentucky, figures.

realDonaldTrump See what you've brought out in our country? You're name will go down in history for all the damage you have done. Worst POTUS ever!

You can do better. Watch the video.

DO BETTER! There was NO exchange. The young men were chanting build the wall and intimidating the Vietnam veteran and Native American.

What was the teacher doing!

Native Americans should ask all the “immigrants” to back. I want to see what these anti immigration maga people will do then!!! shameonmaga covingtondiocese

I call bulshit

No exchange.

Yeah. Show the whole story. A black student was called a “nigga”

...'Modern' Catholics treating Indigenous Peoples the SAME way they have since 1492... The 'Good Catholic kids' were attending an adjacent 'Pro-Life' Rally - demonstrating their GREAT 'Pro-Life Upbringings'...

There were ”young ladies” there too

I’m just going to put this here...

Whitewashing helping to create another BrockTurner

Just stop. The little bastards were aggressive and threatening and had done the same earlier with a grouo of black participants

So much for those Bible studies.

White teen age boys harassed American Indians. Say it plain or hand the platform to someone who will.

Trump supporters are tragedy coddled and ill advised.

They are raising their children to be racist and when you ask the parents are they racist they say no, What a joke.

You can’t spell hatred without red hat.

The kids didnt start anything! There is video that shows the Elder approach the kids!!! The kids simply stood their ground!

The video i saw showed the MAGA hats standing calmly while the indian guy and other protesters get in their faces and try to intimidate them. Where is the video proof of them supposedly mocking him

That’s was very disappointing and so disrespectful... throw that whole school away! A bunch of Lil jerks!🙄

Man, y’all are really bad at this. You should probably consider another line of work.

Exchange?

Racism brought to you by the constituents of Mitch McConnell. WheresMitch

Exchange?! Those MAGAtts were only tense with the Native man. There was no “exchange”. Shame on you.

Ok so the warning signs here ARE AS FOLLOWS: CATHOLIC HS IN KENTUCKY. Like for real ppl they have a mandatory class for all students called ONLY WHITE PPL ALLOWED

Lies, lies, lies yeah

The boys didnt approach him! It was the other way around! There is video proof of it in fact! Let's get ALL sides before we judge!!!!!

Pestering, bothering, insulting, harassing anyone based on their ethnicity is just flat-out wrong but all of a sudden the media wants to call these children okay their effing children not young men. All of a sudden they're young men because they were wearing Maga hats.

Melania Trump should send some Be Best T-shirts from Mar A Lago to these racists

Pontifex must address this horrible racism by Catholic high school students.

Actually the Maga were just standing there and the Natives approached them

Jesus stop it. There was no tense exchange with this kid- those boys were harassing and mocking a peaceful protest.

First buzzfeed now this lmao liberal media failing miserably!

These little kids don’t seem to have done any of the things they’re being accused of, from what I’ve seen.

It's called bullying. Lord incidents like this happened all over the south at lunch counters. What would you call those where a bunch of white guys stood staring at and taunting a young black kid eating at a lunch counter

It is clear that teachings of Christ fall short CovCathColonels and I find their statement not even close to being acceptable. There is a reason Christopher Hitchens once said religion poisons everything and we can see why.

Scared little boys, raised by other scared little boys WhitePrivilege

So sad! What an embarrassment to the school and church. 😢💔

It is very sad when you see children demonstrating hate. In 2019!!!!

MAGA=MOCKING A GREAT AMERICAN...Nathan Phillips, Vietnam Vet.

This is fake news!

Citywide45

“Tense exchange”

That's young fascist white men, thank you very much.

delete this tweet = there was no exchange. the white boys attacked the elder

It’s been a while since I practiced but I think your Christianity is broken...

“Tense exchange”? WTF

What there wearing has nothing to do with their actions. They’re just disrespectful people that need to be taught a lesson in life.

Young white men in maga hats ! You say exchange 🤔

In the video I saw, these kids did nothing wrong. Unless there’s more video, this is once again, someone making something out of nothing. And yes, the wall should be built with great haste.

Tense exchange? That’s the best you could come up with. Bullying incident? Verbal assault?

Racist Southerners at it again.

Here’s contact info for the school of the students dissing the native American elder. Please consider an email, call if you can get through. Covington Catholic High School: Principal Robert Rowe E-mail: browecovcath.org Telephone: (859) 491-2247

An exchange. It was not that and shame on you for normalizing evil.

Aren't religious people supposed to love all things big and small?

.Pontifex Our “Catholic” schools need to do better. Staff looking the other way while “boys will be boys” behavior demeans others is unCatholic. Shame on us as a community. SJJTitanSports SFSKnights

“Exchange”? The gentleman never responded; he just kept drumming, with grace and integrity. headlinesmatter

Kentucky hahaha What do you expect?

🗑🗑🗑🗑🗑

Is Covington the same all boys school Brett Kavanaugh attended with the gang rapes and elaborate drinking games?

Oh wait. I know the answer to this one. 'Its just boys being boys' SMH!

That man got up in the kids face first!

HaHaHaHa!

Young white men in maga hats !

Wow. What a dogshit headline. Absolutely irresponsible.

Pro-Life is just a theological excuse to condemn and hate from a theoretical moral high ground. Exhibit A: MAGAts

worldschanging A man goes over to the kids - the kid stands there smiling ... and then *kid* is at fault!?!! Seriously? GetALife

The level of disrespect this little ahole showed this man is empowered by what he sees in the orange idiot! His parents must be really proud! Where the phuck were the adults in this group? The smirks on all this groups’ faces deserved a roundhouse kick and slap! Fkn punks.

An adult antagonizes kids and media praises adult.

McTic1 As a conscious Catholic for 65 years I believe all these young ppl and their families should be excommunicated. They cannot walk in the shoes of true Catholics. They're pro life but acting like pro white life. They should go back to Europe from where they came.

You misspelled “a video showed a group of young men taunting Nathan Phillips, elder and Vietnam veteran.”

It was more than tense, they were rude ignorant punks that were disrespectful. I’m certain they were taught hate and racism at home and not school.

“Exchange” Wrong word.

Watch the full video and you will see HE walked up to them and initiated this. The kid NEVER moved towards him.. infact the video clearly show the Native American elder walking up to the kid and drumming in his face. WATCH THE VIDEO

They're more worried about unborn children that they are about people. Trash! I think covingtoncatholic needs to rethink their curriculum. Obviously they're not teaching Christianity

Raising the next generation of white killers and users of the maga hashtag.

A tense exchange? In this Country nothing caucasian males do has any consequences and the rest of us keep picking up the pieces.

NathanPhillips is a hero.

I’m a vet, wish I would have been there. Would have supported my veteran brother and beat the shit out of this little bastards!

False. It's not an 'exchange' when one side spews racist bile and the other side shows superhuman restraint in not responding at all.

Covington high school will use this as a commercial for their racist clients. The slogan will be “Covington will make Your kids racists too”.

What exchange? That was one sided racism

Wow, how can you fake the fact dude?

magakid looks like a psychopath. I’m having a hard time getting that image out of my head. Too disturbing. covingtoncatholic

An exchange? Wtf?

“exchange”?

Unfortunately this isn’t news anymore...this is just run of the mill American behaviour....so....this is a call out to the America that still has integrity, nobility, respect and decency...TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY

Worst part is, these kids are coming to a college near you. Smh...

Rightly so, they have missed the mark in diversity training. WTF

Well at least the world knows what the school has taught these young men...this is sad. This was a veteran...shameful.

What is next for these 'young men', setting homeless people on fire?

Don’t turn this into a “both sides” issue. This was an act of racism, not an exchange.

You really suck at this journalism thing .

propaganda fakenews

I guess the old Catholic church is still spreading bigotry and ignorance! I had hoped after their terrible record in the Dark Ages, the Church had cleaned up its act!

Now I see why the left is calling racist. It’s because they were saying build the wall. Well according to the Veteran they shouldn’t have prisons either! Give me a break it wasn’t racist a wall can’t be racist. The left just found a new victim to use for their propaganda

I would LOVE to smash that little smug bastard’s face in with a tire iron.

What exactly happened? I cannot tell....

It wasn't a tense 'exchange'. It was a large group of ignorant thugs trying to intimidate a smaller group of people.

bannerite Shut the school down.

Student(s) should be disciplined and school investigated by diocese.....disgraceful behavior by that particular smug, disrespectful thug in-the-making.

your staff needs some diversity and equity training. thatsnotanexchange

There was no “exchange.” The mob of teens intimidated the elder. They must have skipped the March for Morals, as they clearly lack any.

WhitePrivilege is a disease. whitegrievance is a disease. whiteness is a disease.

Everyone of those kids should be forced to join the service. Bunch of little privileged a**holes. CovCathColonels

Those kids are cowards who would shit themselves and hide if asked to fight for their country.

Watch the video, the kid is just standing there, the grown man is the one getting in his face and even hitting him with his drum. Don't play the poor me card. I love how grown ass adults are all of a sudden victims. Where is the 'outrage' when leftists actually commit violence?

“Tense exchange”? Those little MAGA shits were taunting a tribal elder. There was no exchange, it was one sided hate. Rewrite this headline.

This was not an “exchange”. It was harassment, by the high school kids - unchecked by any chaperones - with the clear intent to provoke a physical response. Were there a physical response, it might qualify as an “exchange”. Do better, . Don’t “both sides” this.

What is the opposite of a college scholarship? That’s what these kids need. But 1: Money is probably not a concern for them anyway. And 2: I’d wager that when these kids get home they’ll be congratulated by their sociopath Republican parents who taught them to be this way.

WHAT EXCHANGE? The right-wing young “men” were harassing them. You are ridiculous. Probably why your paper has to be given away.

Forms must be turned into Mr. Flesch...light?

These kids behaved like this is what they’re being taught in school and at home. I’ll never understand how Christians can support Trump when he goes against everything Jesus stood for. SHAME!!!

It wasn't an exchange. You are engaging in defamation.

Shame on you for calling this an “exchange”.

They said the anti Trumpers started it, so how about we wait until further info comes in? Remember Buzzfeed?

I bet that little jerk doesn’t even realize that he’s the one from the immigrant family, and the elder is the true American.

Enough now. Decent people everywhere must unite and stand against these rightwing fascists racists who live in and spread their fearful and hatful worldview. We’ve been there before with Hitler, do we really want to sleepwalk into that again? maga

Guess these people pretending to be upset haven’t watched the full video.

Of course it’s kentucky no respect. WhitePrivilege

Exchange? 🤔

Hold on to Peace

USAToday - (attempted) assault is not an “exchange” - white supremacy shows its fangs - including in the dilution of truth in your headline.

CovCathColonels weird how being taught to praise god and hate abortions makes you act like this

This doesn’t surprise me. Covington is trash

Tense exchange is not accurate. Only one party was the racist aggressor

There needs to be a public apology from the boy and all those kids need to be expelled!

Ok I know a middle school yearbook student editor who could do better or should I say be better

End this HS!

Complete BS story.

FAKENEWS anyone can watch several of the videos and see that the boys didn’t chant racism nor were they disrespectful. Boycott USATODAY.

BabsSCL The mascot of this Christian school is a confederate colonel ExposeChristianSchools

Wrong. It was an intimidation attack. Not an exchange.

If in fact, one of those kids said build that wall; how is that possible, when that old man is native american.. how do you build a wall on a NATIVE AMERICAN

Bad writing. Tense exchange? FFS

Leave my uterus alone

There was no “tense exchange,” - report with some courage and some integrity

Bc...you know...Kentucky. Lincoln got out of there as soon as could.

That is absolutely horribly wrong and is an abomination of Catholic teachings. Thanks MAGA you are ruining America

Trump is one hell of an influence... NOT! What’s next... the KKK with MAGA on their robes and neo-natzis wearing MAGA baseball caps? We don’t need Trump’s hateful influence!

This is such Fake News...watch the video...clearly this guy got up in some kid’s face while drumming and singing..the kid just stood there smiling

Exchange! WTF are you talking about?

.NOTHING wld have been sd if they had of been wearing those stupid pink 'vagina' hats! ie WomansMarch2019 letting leaders hate on Jewish people!

Mitch must be so proud!

So disrespectful - he should face consequences for his actions.

Fakenews (liberal propaganda)

Someone should find out who these kids names are to make them and their comments go viral

Punishment: Lock them in a room with a priest.

Bullshht.

MSM to the rescue, to provide cover for white supremacy and racism.

Where is the counter resistance to these kids. D.C. is such a clown city. They claim to be liberal and support real causes but it’s just a bunch of entitled people parading aroud as self-righteous folk because it looks great on Instagram. Hope u have a great brunch tomorrow.

An Assault by a MAGA mob/gang more than an exchange

FakeNews guys. When is the retraction?

Really? Tense exchange. This is why those boys did that and no teacher intervened. Thanks for promoting such disgusting vile behavior. defendinghate

“A tense exchange”, really usatoday that is how you report racism

Watch entire video...the veteran approached the young man then proceeded to invade the boys personal space then continue tobeat a drum near his ear...mr Philips was the agitater...watch entire video not what the left edits out!!!

Let me correct the headline. Douchebag religious kids mock an honorable Native American veteran. Done.

CovCathColonels these young haters are representing your school and don’t appear to have learned your educating of them “Spiritually Academically, Physically and Socially”. Shameful! CovingtonCatholic

KodaDarling Would love to know the name of the school

It wasn't a tense exchange. One side mocked and stared and the Native American gentleman continued with his chant, with grace and poise.

It’s wasn’t an exchange. It was a example of how someone has raised a bunch of little bigots who dishonored a veteran old enough to be their grandfather. These little thugs showed complete contempt & disrespect for an elder, veteran and leader of Native Americans.

As well the 'Catholic' high school should be. Those 'MAGAT' kids are the immigrants when it comes to the native American Indians.

Christians raising hateful monsters Covington Kentucky Hypocrites natives MAGA

I rejoice in my atheism and liberal good sense as I read about these racist republican so-called chistians. WWJD? Chistofascists is a better term.

Catholic high in Kentucky? I went to Catholic high in Calif. If we would have done that in the 70's we never would have been allowed back on campus. The Christian Bros. taught us humility and love of fellow man. Now it's all about being exclusive and high $ tuition. Shitbirds...

Think about it. These kids are on video forever. There’s no taking this back, it just grows on the internet. Talk about damaged goods.

There was no 'exchange'. Stop protecting the white boys.

Nope. No fcking way. Re-write this BS.

This happened at the March for Life. These kids don't begin to understand that respect for life means respecting ALL LIFE......not just the unborn but old and young, all people! Native Americans were here first and have been mistreated for decades!

A tense exchange? There was no exchange. Just entitled, belligerent racism/ageism...and being-a-total-asshole-ism. I’m sure your parents are proud, indignant, and cooking up a brilliant reverse-racism case. slowlearners sociopathy

Disgusting! Action should be taken! This blatant racism should not go unpunished!

A tense exchange is what happens at a city council meeting. This was a mindless, racist mob targeting a peaceful group of tambourine players. Good grief is there NOTHING you guys won't both sides?

It wasn’t an “intense exchange.” This wasn’t a “both sides” event. Try again and do better.

Students gets in trouble for what? Because you people believe he mock an old man, now how many people mocking the president? How old is the President of the United States? 72, you told students younger mocking the president, that’s not a problem, why? You people mock yourselves

Expulsion for these thugs from covingtoncatholicHS means they may actually get some diversity training in a public school

Thats what you get when you vote for someone who is a narcissist after you heard him talk about assaulting women and you knew he hid his tax returns - you couldn’t resist jumping on the hate wagon with him PutinsPuppet WheresMitch

Where?

Did you mean to say, “March For Life participants mock and harass living person?” Or “Catholic values front and center for March for Life attendees.” I’m really pissed and of sick of white boys running roughshod over the rest of us.

Oh Kentucky; Wheres Mitch makes sense

Covington Catholic school, contact the Principal Robert Rowe Browecovcath.org

Pretty reprehensible acts by some of the student body CovCathColonels CovingtonCatholic

That student should have to do MANDATORY community service helping indigenous people.

Making this sound like a 'both sides' issue. Shame.

Your country makes me kind of cringe these days.

What was exchanged exactly?

Here is the number of the school...

Expel that student now!!!!

That guy is a known activist and harrassed those kids and got in their faces and space - this story is a lie and you should retract it

My heart breaks for this man. He never should have had to endure this to begin with.

search4swag Backlash my ass

Covington Kentucky Catholic boys March for STRAIGHT WHITE MALE Lives ...

What!! Tense exchange? This was NOT an exchange. It was one person harassing another who graciously stood his ground, beat his drum and sang his song. Quit trying to soften hatred and bigotry!

Looks like is so racist, to them, those bigoted kids were just having an “exchange.”

The Native American man approached the kids while they were on the steps and doing their high school chant. There are different videos showing this to be true. The kids did not engage first like everyone is reporting

“Exchange”!! Do better. Sheesh.

FakeNewsMedia is continuing to divide Americans with fake racism stories. If you watch the video nothing actually happens. The media is spreading fake & dangerous lies to make money.

Anyone else remember realDonaldTrump telling his supporters to knock the crap out of protesters? Well America welcome the Trumpyouthsquads anyone else thinking we have seen this before maybe in the 1940's perhaps overseas?

I guess it's ok for racists like BLM and Antifa to harass and attack folks? The young men never touched the gentleman.

Ironic that they were at march4life rally yet don’t respect ALL lives. I think they are lucky they were born and should be taught that ALL HUMANS DESERVE RESPECT. Shame on their parents, teachers, church for failing them as compassionate and loving people. coventrycatholic

I swear MAGA is just assuming anyone who isn't white isn't American. Make America White Again am I right?

bobchester Exchange between high school anti-abortion protesters and Natives, upon whom the Catholic religion was inculcated.

It wasn't an 'exchange.' It was racism and harassment, arguably assault.

Bulling or exchange?! Insulting USA Today!

I see Teens showing a lack of reverence to a quasi-diety “elder”, not racism. Were they supposed to grovel and apologize?

Group of young men? Boy.. u guys are pretty blind and tone deaf over there. How pathetic

But there're Caucasian kids and they have Freedom of Speech and expression Hahahaaa 😆 It's OK

What the kids did was disrespectful as they didn't know the significance of the drum or chanting but none of them chanted 'build a wall' or said anythign racist they were idiots and being disrespectful but theyr'e also high schoolers thath's how a lot of kids in high school act.

Not an exchange but blatant racist harassment of an elderly veteran by white supremacist thugs enabled and encouraged by their teachers and chaperones. Hitler Youth in training

There was no “exchange”, it was all the white MAGA Catholic boys harassing an elder Native American Vietnam vet.

Congratulations to the Catholic Church that found their right to life rally at the crossroads of extremism. Where is the love in Catholicism?

realDonaldTrump what do you have to say about this..your minions..Little Cadet Bone Spurs? Still proud of MAGA? ResignTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump shitholepres

Congrats on yet again having no journalistic integrity.

Yeah, cause the people on the left are never agitators...

Exchange? That was not an exchange!

So pathetic, no respect

There is nothing happening here. I meaning nothing. Two groups making some noise and peacefully demonstrating. Nobody acting in a threatening way at all. The kid is just standing there smiling. Fake news.

Exchange? Are there journalists even working there ? Come on.

Young Brett Kavanaughs

The appalling CovingtonCatholic boys' behavior brings to mind Sydney SHORE (top Anglican school) boys, who once pushed me and others aside to be first on a Chatswood train. When I asked the headmaster for an assembly civics reminder he unapologetically declined without names!

Jesus would be ashamed of them, and would support expulsion from a school created in His honor

Make racists afraid again.

As if Catholicism needed more reason to show that the teachings of Jesus are pretty far from what the religion has become. Where is the pope speaking out in this outrage? This is what trump has done to this country. trumpshutdown maga

Mult Native Americans instigated an incident walking into a peaceful group of kids & taunting one chanting & drumming inches fm his face.

Wrong!!!!! The Native American marchers did not show any hostility.

Monsters. These children are the products of bigoted, hateful parents. Any school that bases teachings on religion should be appalled and expel every student involved. The kids should be charged and the parents with them. NoMorehate

They think nothing can happen to them. Entitlement was shown it that hateful, disrespectful clip!

There was no 'exchange.' And the only reason it was 'tense' is because a bunch of 'pro-life' pieces of shit surrounded older Indigenous Americans - and the latter had no idea how much of a threat the former would be. Jesus Mischaracterizing Christ,

Question 1. Where did you get the hats? Question 2. Do any of the teachers:staff where the hats? Question 3. Do their parents wear the hats? Follow the hats.

Shame shame shame! CovCathColonels and parents. No excuse - EVER for this behavior. Clear evidence the TrumpShitShow can always go lower.

And how do we know they weren't plants wearing MAGA hats? I don't believe theyre so stupid as to wear a MAGA hat.

Where were the chaperones? Where were the adults? Why were MAGA hats allowed? The fact that the High School promoted this march for students to attend and then allow politicization by wearing Trumpy gear puts the responsibility squarely on the school.

Correct your story. It wasn't a 'tense exchange.' A young man was harassing an older indigenous man. Be honest in your description.

They went there with ill intentions

So your sub-header says ‘blatant racism’ but your Twitter headline says tense exchange. It wasn’t a tense exchange. Apparently you didn’t watch the video. There was no exchange. So I leave you with this: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Exchange.. REALLY?

Did you watch the video? An exchange? A mob surrounding & yelling an elder, these kids all up in his face and this crap is your byline? Fix it. DoBetter

It wasn’t racist at all. It was kids having fun singing the Tomahawk Chop having fun. There was no exchange. The Elder seemed to target some boy and then start screaming in his face, but the kid just smiled on like he was enjoying the show they were putting on.

You should fire the editor that approved that headline! Shame on you, . JournalismIsDead

here’s the more accurate headline. thought I’d help you out, seeing that I have no journalism experience, but apparently neither does the person who wrote yours.

Hey USA today. This is a bullshit headline and article. Do better. It was white men wearing MAGA hats. They harrassed an indigenous elderly man, veteran of this country. There was no 'tense 'exchange. Those men were assholes and when this elderly man spoke later he became teary.

Thank god. Every one of them need to experience years of repercussion. Their names need to be released.

Make sure to let Superintendent Mike Clines know that you are disgusted by this behavior. supmikeclines

This is Kentucky. Bigoted and racist. Mitch McConnell country. It’s not a surprise. Not all MAGA peeps are 8-tooth rubes. Some are children of the wealthy, privileged and powerful, and they want to keep it that way.

This headline is trash. It wasn't a tense exchange, it was harrassmen

The Klan might as well send those kids their cloaks

Good. Shut this school down.

Longer video is showing a different story.

We should be socially finding their names and shaming them and their families. This is disgusting

Anyone know the parents & where they are employed? Most employers frown when they are associated with a negative story about bratty, privileged teens berating elderly Native American war veterans. Bad for the image, bad for the bottom line.

There was no ‘exchange’. There was, however, harassment.

Delete this tweet. It Brings shame upon journalism.

What is this exchange you speak of?

Pathetic and we can guess where they learned it from🙄😡

“Exchange.” GTFOOHWTMFBS

'Tense exchange'? Come on.

i saw no exchange. and also it’s boys** not men.

Way to BeBest on that headline. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Standing around the musicians like a pack of dogs.

Exchange? Umm, no.

Exchange? You spelled 'harassed' wrong. Do better.

HS is facing condemnation for videoed racial harassment. Not an exchange. Don’t come with that both sides bull.

I want an announcement that the superintendent, principal, vice principal, and others in leadership positions at CovingtonCatholicHighSchool have been fired. Bring in a diverse administrative staff and get to work to try to mitigate the damage you’ve done.

Don't condone violence, but I'd be lying if I didn't want to smash that arrogant pile in the face!!

Watch the full video guys and make your own conclusions

explain “exchange” please

francophone I guess Being Kentuckian trumps Catholic teachings. Thanks for making us look badder than usual...

Where in the world were the chaperones for these students? No intervention = tacit complicity.

Blatant racism? This was a total setup.

As well they should face backlash. They need to be fully ashamed of themselves, for breeding this kind of hatred and for failing to intervene and stop this ignorant act.

Exchange? Look up the definition of the word please.

Yes, go out and march to fill the world with kids whose parents & educators apparently teach them nothing, especially no respect for or decency toward others.

that is a pathetic tweet the indigenous people were not confronting anyone these students from Kentucky were the ones doing the confronting it was racism and nothing but--you must have seen a different clip

'Exchange' You just can't help it, can you?

Shame on you - there was no exchange. Are you a Trump supporter?

These students are pathetic

Do better.

If my child attended that school, on Monday they would be withdrawn as soon as the school doors opened

He approached them

Marching into the face of death, to have a teenager stand there smiling at me - circa 2019 colorized.

Delete your account

Which school is it?

Dear Editor, tweet needs re-wording.

Exchange? The kid stood with smug glee and tried to intimidate and humiliate that elder with his gang of jeering buddies surrounding them. Is that called an exchange now?

What the hars to do with anything... i seen a black kid with a chicago bulls hat in punched a eldery white man.. that means michael jordan is a racist ? Gtfo

“An exchange”? WTH is wrong with you, ? “A group of young men”? Wow, talk about whitewashing, pun intended.

“Exchange”? What the hell is wrong with journalism in our country? Did anyone learn anything about how to write headlines? Clear & accurate language? Anything? I’m so sick of seeing this.

Exchange? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

It wasn’t an “exchange”..the MAGA boy was trying to intimidate and humiliate that man..pure and simple! Do better in your reporting!

Funny, it wasn't that long ago that Catholics were considered to be vermin invading this country.

Why can’t you just call it racist taunting? Because that’s what this was.

the man walked over to the kids beating his drum, not the other way around

That's not at all what happened. What kind of bullshit is this tweet?

“Tense exchange” is an outright lie.

Wow. This is a shitty headline. I saw one man showing dignity and restraint while a mob of idiots jumped up and down and taunted him. Some 'exchange'.

Fix your headline. The indigenous man did nothing but continue his prayer in spite of being harassed and mocked in a very aggressive manner by a large group of white men.

Make them go to live on a reservation and see how they far

YOU are why we’re where we are today. A bunch of white, entitled, overprivileged, ignorant snickering boys were disrespecting a Native American elder & you opt to characterize that as a “tense exchange”. Sometimes, there are no two sides to the story. THIS is one of those times.

That wasn't an exchange. Stop whitewashing!

The backlash is well deserved

Finish the headline/tweet. The young men were being disrespectful and harassing towards the indigenous marchers.

Worst. Lede. Ever. Do better.

Fix your headline.

What exchange? He was harrassed. That was the interaction. Stop both-sidesing every goddamn thing.

Who wrote this ☝️? F off on exchange. Gd it, how can we defend the media when u keep getting the important things wrong!?! fenrir_71

Tense exchange! This lede is a joke right?

That’s not what backlash means.

Tweet FAIL. The shitty behavior was entirely one sided. Do better.

I was kicked off of FB for 3 days for calling them white trash. I was told it was hate speech. Wtf.

Bullshit headline.

That wasn’t an exchange. It was straight up harassment of an elderly veteran that was meant simply to intimidate and spew hate and racism. Call it what it is, please. racism WhitePrivilege

What's wrong in Kentucky? Land of Mitch McConnell and now this? Hmmm

That wasn’t an “exchange.”

Exchange? Mr. Phillips is a Vietnam Vet who was there for the Indigenous People’s March. These racist boys were brought there to rage against women's rights. They had no reason to interact other than these boys decided to spread their hate to the first non-white they found.

A Catholic high school in Kentucky is facing the backlash they deserve after several videos showed a group of men in D.C. surrounding and harassing a indiginous Vietnam veteran peacefully protesting. fixeditforyou

A tense exchange?

Everyone will see something different. I just see some curious kids that have never experienced native Americans up close. There’s really not much of a story here guys.

Ridiculous. This was not an exchange. Stop playing into some bullshit narrative - you're supposed to be better than that.

After seeing multiple videos from diffrent angles, i saw him walk up to the kids in a crowd and start banging his drum in one of their faces. Most where chanting with him, some even said they where confused as to what was happening. Try wait for all the facts b4 posting bs.

This is what realDonaldTrump made acceptable in our beloved USA. WorstPresidentEver

There is NO WAY the parents & school didn't know what the teens were going to do. Who paid for the hats? Who paid for the trip? 🤔The Adults did! They sent their children to do their dirty work.

Fighting with teenagers? Move on.

'A tense exchange? This is spineless, even for USA Today. I suppose USA today would characterize Charlottesville as 'a debate of ideas.'

It was a DAMN EXCHANGE. It was harassment. Change your headline. Your misrepresenting what happened

Catholics eh.... big shocker

It was not a fucking exchange. Never normalize bigotry.

You mean when a bunch of rich white boys harassed a Native American widow who was a veteran?

It wasn't an exchange but one-sided harassment

There was no exchange What are you talking about

That wasn’t an exchange, USA Today. It was a bunch of racist kids harassing Native Americans.

Innrdreams NOT a tense EXCHANGE This was intimidation of a Elder and Vietnam Vets by a PRO life group of youths The man was singing and they were clearly acting inappropriately to put it mildly you need to rewrite that and apologise for the false suggestion that he was in error

These men served his country in the worst part of the world at the time. He like every other service member deserves to be honored. He served his country with honor didn't ask for nothing more but the uniform of his country. As someone who wanted to be a Marine.I salute you.

Exchange your headline

This is a horrible headline! Nathan Phillips was harrassed by these MAGA hat wearing creeps!

Let’s take a minute to reflect what will happen to these kids in the long run: expulsion, not getting into reputable colleges, developing mental illness after being ostracized by their friends, and climbing the bell tower with a rifle. Yeah, they screwed up their own lives.

It's disgusting what Trump's presidency has led to. FuckTrump

Kinda weak, not sure exactly what transpired on the video other than two seperate groups of people at the same place for different reasons. If looks could kill, I guess ? But looks can't kill, especially from a group of immature high school kids. Happy for no violence eruption

More fake Christians.

It's amazing how much healing would take place if just one parent stood up and said, 'I taught my kid better and there is going to be some serious discussions taking place at our house. Not only do I apologize, but you will be receiving an honest heart felt apology soon.

If a student at the catholic school I attended in Indiana during the early 2000s was caught doing this, they’d be kicked out. Expel them.

Exchange? No exchange. A punk and a gentleman, one harassing the other while he maintained his composure.

Tense exchange? What are you, trying desperately to get some 'two to tango' buzz for yourselves?

JoeBarri How embarrassing.. disgusted with these boys!! Parents are you proud You have raised some real winners here!!

You should be ashamed to post this lie.

Shame on you characterizing what happened as an “exchange” between “young men” and “indigenous people”. Young men infers respectful youth. These teenagers were anything but respectful. These were native Americans exercising there right to peacefully protest.

Shameful behaviour.

CathCharCovKY College adminisions depts, make note of these kids' names and faces. My hope is that these racists shits' lives become even half as trying as this composed, indigenous veteran's has been.

Exchange WTF is wrong with you people? Can't you come up with a decent headline

A catholic school student or any other Hitler posing student. Any student should be prosecuted and reprimanded for such hate bullying

No exchange! They harassed him while he chanted. This is a garbage headline.

'Exchange'? You're part of the problem, USA today.

Shame on you . Call it what it is. Harassment.

Gee wiz I think people need to relax, nobody was physically hurt it was a kid standing there when this elder approached them kid had a smirk on his face big deal .

As if the Catholic Church hasn’t created enough drama, heartache & crime in the past few years. You would think if they really cared about their reputation, they would want to build it up instead of continuing to tarnish it.

'Tense exchange'? Seriously?

So March for Lifers have no respect for people - how telling

This is lame. Stop playing the middle and take a fucking side for once. Spread that amongst your colleagues in the field as well. Sometimes one side is wrong.

Exchange? Try again ya fools stop looking pass us Native american.

Let's call Mitch McConnell senatemajldr I'm sure he'll do something about it!! Like say how these kids were having their rights infringed upon

Brett Kavanaugh Jr.

You mean a bunch of boys from a catholic school harassed, threatened and taunted a group of Native Americans, including veterans and elderly.

Official statement: when do non (people that look exactly like us) matter?

The white teens were racist and threatening a Native veteran, and you call that a 'tense exchange'?! Bothsideisms is strong

They doing this dumb shit knowing full well that Twitter exists.... that’s amazing 😮

Not an exchange at all. The kids were mocking him. No conversation was had. Change your headlines

What exactly was the “exchange”?

I don't see an exchange here. I see some racists harassing an elder. I hear racists chanting racist shit. I can smell the bullshit pouring out of the mouths of racists. I can feel the soul of the elder as he has to deal with self righteous mofos, while protesting genocide.

How does anyone with a brain bigger than a walnut summarize this horrific event as a “tense exchange”?

Tense exchange? Are you sure you are reporting accurately?

You need to change the wording of your post. It was not an “exchange” try intimidation, bullying, mob etc. instead. Also try gang of young thugs instead of men. Stop sugar coating this disgusting shit!!

Fake news!

These kids shoukd not be accepted by any college. Ever!

Share your thoughts with the school and diocese

How the heck do you define 'exchange'? There was no exchange. There was racist behavior and ethnic intimidation by a group of MAGA hat wearing Catholic students. Disgusting display made all to common by the actions and words of the President.

What an incredibly irresponsible headline. Try this. A large group of young, mostly male Trump supporters heckled a native American veteran who was singing a song of peace during the March for Life rally on the steps of the Lincoln memorial.

Gloreindl Yikes , let's tell the truth. It wasn't a'Tense exchange' - it was racist intimidation and targeted harassment by white supremacist teens against a peaceful, Native American Veteran. Don't 'both sides' this one sided hate. Don't minimize this.

Kick them into jail for suffering of the Native Gentleman. Despicable creatures.

'exchange'

Intense exchange? All I saw was a bunch of kids being assholes and an elderly man maintaining his dignity despite it.

More Media Lies There was no MAGA mob hounding a Native American Mult Native Americans instigated an incident walking into a peaceful group of kids & taunting one chanting & drumming inches fm his face No one said 'Build the Wall' & if anything

Fire your editor.

'Exchange'

A tense exchange?

I’m thinking you’ve misused ‘exchange.’

If it was my son I would be ashamed and would make him pay for his disrespect. We as Americans need to do better job raising our sons.

Some things can't be forgiven TreasonWeasel

“Young men?”

“Backlash.” It’s more like holding them accountable

Now we have Hitler Youth in America hope their parents are proud. The only way to make America great again is get rid of Trump!

Making America Hate ....

MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. What’s more are there are some very stupid Americans.

And of course the Catholic school has deleted their social media accounts or blocked non-followers from commenting. Typical coward actions committed by typical cowards who would hide behind their religion. Bigotry and racist to the core

did an intern conceive this poorly written Tweet? There was no “exchange” it was just a bunch of hate-filled racist kids acting like entitled assholes taunting a Native American man who was simply playing his drum. TweetBetter

They are just doing what Trump’s behaviour gives them permission to copy😡

Have you reached out to the Pontifex ? Be interesting to see what he has to say!

That was not an exchange! It’s called BULLYING.smh!!

Those pricks won’t have the balls to come to New York to pick on an elderly. March for life? This boy might as well match for his own death as he will never grow up to be a man...he might be lucky enough to grow old, but, never grow to be a man:

The boys were on. Pro life March and this guy beats a drum inches from their face. TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH

There was NO EXCHANGE. Jesus, you're sounding like Fake News.

F Kentucky it's the Florida of the Midwest! MitchMcConell mitchshutdown DC

Somehow I’m just not surprised

How about “Making America Less Racist Again!!”

Shame on you USA Today. That was not a 'tense exchange.' This was blatant racism.

JoeBarri This might not be a good time to bring this up, but ...... what is the Roman Catholic Church doing about pedophile priests?

Fake news. Pay attention to what happened and report it accurately so America can start to progress. A more accurate headline would have been, “Entitled rich MAGAT bigot youth seeks confrontation with true American hero.”

Come on now we know Trump told McConnell to have them do it so it distracts from reporting on our domestic terrorist of a president.

FFS. I know you're the diet version of actual journalism, but 50 jr. edgelords surrounding, mocking, and intimidating a half a dozen Native Americans who were there separately and minding their own business is not an 'exchange'.

Shame on them, school and parenrs for allowing

Exchange you say?

I guess they never learned WWJD Instead they learn from Individual1 what botto do Deplorables

'Tense exchange'? WTF is WRONG with you, USA Today?

'Tense exchange' might be peak both-sidesism. NathanPhillips covingtoncatholichighschool

Wow. “Tense exchange?” Shame on you

“Exchange”? You are part of the problem.

Just FYI... Wayback Machine History shots taken at different times from websites. Interesting to look back at sites before they are locked etc.

CovingtonHighTN When did the Catholic religion start teaching to disrespect elders or another human being? Also, this DOES NOT make America great lovetrumpshate CovingtonCatholicHighSchool StopHate endhatecrimes

🤔 so, from SenMajLdr home state? colormesurprised

Shitty headline.

This shit wasn't intense at all.

“Exchange”? One group jeered and harassed while the other ignored them and carried on with their music

But I was led to believe religious conservative Trump supporters are good people. 🤷‍♂️

'tense exchange'? The video shows a white-boy mob menacing a peaceful elderly man. It looks like 30+ youths taunting, physically blocking escape, and intimidating him. They should all be in a cell waiting for their parents to bail them out. Don't 'both sides' this heinous act.

Tense exchange? Bullshit.

What tense exchange?

Ha, they told the Pope on them.

Oh, brother.

Isn’t that Cocaine Mitch’s State?

Nice headline. Exchange? Um, no. Do better

Tense exchange

The racist mob of catholic boys exchanged terrorism for infamy. CovingtonCatholic racists racism ImpeachTheMF

Wrong. There was no exchange. There was a punk being a punk to a Native American veteran.

And the truth comes out!

'Tense exchange' A Vietnam veteran calmly kept playing and singing while being mocked and taunted by a large group of teenaged boys. That's not any kind of exchange. It's harassment by a mob.

Training for the priesthood A collection of wanna-be Kavanaugh's ? Congratulations USA..your once proud history of kindness,humanity,justice,support and freedom has now been officially trampled by Trump and co-horts into a sea of hate,disrespect,division and depravity..

A tense exchange? Horrible headline. No exchange. “Mob harasses peaceful protester”

There wasn’t a damn “exchange”!!!! There was a group of disrespectful white young brats mocking and taunting a Native American Vietnam Vet!!! Report what actually happened!!!

The Covington faculty, administrators and parents need to be held accountable for Incubating a culture of hatred, racism, disrespect and evil. They empowered a homogeneous group of students to act so shamefully in the presence of fellow Americans. God help them all.

Good. That boy deserves to be sucker punched! No Vet or older person deserves that! Unacceptable!

Can you get your headline right? This wasn’t an “exchange” - this was harassment. YOU are part of the problem when you use launguage like this.

Good. Backlash away. Hate has no place

be better

The parents are responsible for this teenager totally lacking in compassion and history. This is why I left church and am prochoice. Prolifers are hypocrites and delusional. They love what they call babies, usually embryos. But have no respect for a human beings. Sick.

PaulBegala There was no 'exchange' there were intimidation tactics and only the students participated.

TENSE EXCHANGE? No. Delete your account.

Disgusting....perhaps our Pope would like to hear about these young desciples!!

Tense exchange? You are horrible

How about headline truth, MAGA hat wearing white boys harass elderly veteran in DC..

Wadyathink Mitch?

There was no tenseness on the side of Mr. Phillips. He sang, they acted like assholes picking on an elderly man.

Uh...get it right, there was no f*cking 'exchange'

Young men?! I only say scrawny little babies harrassing that Vietnam Vet.

I just saw people standing around💁

There was no damn “exchange” and could you white wash it more? Young men?! Smh

TF? Exchange?

What the F is so wrong about this video ? Except for the 1 kid giving a stupid smirk the others looked like they were getting into the Native American rhythm. I must be missing something

Seriously watch the video! The indigenous man moved into the face of the boy! He was polite and respectful while the man beat the drum in his face!

A CATHOLIC high school? Hey, guess what? This is not what Catholicism and Christianity is about.

Check the facts, watch the tape, do your job.

These kids are reprehensible. I’m sure they learned their horrible behavior from their parents. Unfortunately, it seems religion isn’t the key to raising a good person.

PaulBegala Exchange? What exchange? Write better

What was the “exchange” part?

People please read this. People out here think 'indians' deserve to all get killed and lose our entire culture

Exchange? Um no.

bothsides

No no. It’s called hate speech, white supremacy, racism. Be precise. Do better.

There was no exchange. The group of kids were acting like thugs. Fix your post.

'tense exchange'? I'm not a Trumper but when the media whitewashes something like this, it really erodes our faith in you.

MAGA Hat is the new Brown Shirt.

Anyone who attends an anti abortion rally isn’t right in the head.

JoeBarri And what about their student who is a repeat offender rapist? And what about their cover up of priest vs child sexual abuse? fakecatholics

Dollars to pesos this story is bullshit

Uh huh what exactly was 'exchanged'

Whaaaat

Terrible headline. Do better.

Good, all those boys should be suspended!! All of them!!

'Tense exchange' Are you guys actually journalists, or just cosplaying? Here are the objective facts, captured on film: the indigenous marchers were peaceful, non-confrontational and went about their business with calm grace. On the other side, a gang of fools....

Catholic. That says it all.

usatoday NOT a tense showdown. Let me help you. '.....after a Native American war vet is bullied and heckled by a bunch of Catholic HS students' GET IT RIGHT. CovingtonCatholic

Tense exchange?...bitch fire ya editor

There was no “exchange.” Do better usatoday

Tense exchange!! Very poor. I hope this was a mistake.

THERE WAS NO “EXCHANGE.” There were shitty entitled MAGA teenage fucks verses a strong, dignified Native American American man.

Why am I NOT surprised it's in senatemajldr state?!?!

There was no “tense exchange.” Don’t “both sides” this. Reevaluate your headline.

If only racists were as afraid of being racist as news outlets are of calling out racists. What “exchange.”

maga hat wearing people who was at a March for life being who they are. Who is that? Racist womb controlling people. Just want a child born. After that, free to kill them (guns) or let them get sick (no insurance) or treat them less than.

scornedwoman Sad

It wasn't an EXCHANGE. It was assault ON an elder BY young bullies.

Delete this, then think about how you could have done better.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS KENTUCKY LIKE SHIZ MY STATE ALWAYS FUCKS UP LMAO

“Exchange”? Bullshit headline!

The school & parents have failed to teach these boys the most fundamental principles of Christ. Compassion. Do unto others. Love of fellow man. Shame!

Where is the mocking? When did looking someone in the eye who got in your face, unprovoked chanting & beating a drum become mocking?! If he were decked out in Hillary gear he'd be a hero. But you are so deranged with hate you attack a child for his facial expression

Shameful headline! There was no tense exchange. There were a bunch of young disgusting, disrespectful and disgraceful young men surrounding, taunting, mocking an elder Native American and Vietnam veteran. Get with the program. Fix this headline! BeAHellOfALotBetter

PaulBegala Fix this! It was NOT an exchange.

TENSE - FUCKING TENSE - Grow some spine and actually report the news

Your headline is one of the reasons white supremacy persists: There was NO fucking exchange!

Kentucky..unsurprising

THAT WAS NOT AN 'EXCHANGE'. THAT WAS HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION.

'Tense exchange' my ass, go back to the drawing board and come up with an accurate headline and story you vapid shitwipes.

I went to catholic school from 1-12th and if I ever acted this way I’d be out on my backside. This is a disgrace and all of these kids should be disciplined as should the chaperones. What an utter and disgusting example of what’s been hiding under the rock of ignorance!

Good.

Another headline playing race card. Just because a white person does something doesn't mean it is racist. Im still confused, where was the exchange?

This was a one sided bullying of a group of peaceful indigenous people by a group of white, racist, smug, entitled teens who are old enough to know this is cruel and wrong. Behold the kid in the picture flashing the white power sign.

The longer we allow people to act this way, the problem will persist.

Exchange? You have been useless to me ever since other newspapers starting using color ink.

Aren’t these children just following their role model? What did he call Senator Warren? And aren’t they rowing the playbook of bebest

Wait! What? Schools? They have schools in Kentucky? Hard to believe

PaulBegala “Exchange” implies both sides were involved. That’s bullshit. It was a one sided ambush. Come on.

Oh FFS. It was an elderly man surrounded by a jeering group of youth. Tense exchange? Where do you even get that from. Be better. Or best. Be best.

What tense exchange

Can we just push these kids across the River... what an embarrassment to the state of KY.

what kind of troll writes your headlines,

This is the disrespect often shown by MAGA followers. Should’ve slapped that kid right in the face. He certainly has a chin that’s just asking for a punch. Let the excuses for this disrepectful behavior pile in CovCathColonels

PaulBegala As a native of Kentucky who has lived most of my life here, I’d like to be able to say that this behavior doesn’t represent our beautiful state. Unfortunately, I cannot. The underlying intolerance for other cultures is quite prevalent here. So instead, I’ll offer an apology.

Tell it like it is -- white men harassing peaceful marchers.

This is sadly disgusting and despicable. This is a reflection of their parents and they are just as disgusting for letting their kids out and do this ThisisNOTnormal

Seriously....there was no exchange. Who the hell is writing your headlines, and more importantly who is editing them? Asinine. Did you go to school in Kentucky?

NOT an exchange! Blatant disrespect for this elder! Absolute white privilege! Disgraceful and heartbreaking! 😓

'Bigoted attack on a veteran', there fixed it.

Maybe they do stuff like this because they know they'll be defended by people like you. And they don't even have to ask, you do this for them because it makes you feel good.

This is what America is coming to with the amorality of the Trump administration! Shameful I hope this child’s parents punish him. Mr.Phillips is the only true America !!!

“Exchange”... who wrote this? What’s the exchange? Where’s the journalism? WTF!

JoeBarri What, no leadership statements from Kentucky Sens Paul or McConnell decrying this type of behavior in their state and shouting that it has no place in America? I’m shocked.

I hope they throw the “good book” at these hypocrites 🤭

No it wasn’t a “tense exchange”. The teenager was disprespectful to a Vietnam Vet who also happens to be Native American. So glad this kid attends a Catholic School where they can teach he what Jesus would do... never mind!

Your headline writers and social media account managers really need to get your shit together. Young white men. Native American veteran. YWM surrounded and tried to bully NAV, trying to start shit. Don’t minimize the racist crap these YWM were perpetrating.

Tense exchange? That’s a godawful tweet right there.

This school needs to expel all the students involved this is a racial incident and a Native American should sue the school. Is this what the Catholic Church is preaching?

2/2 These teens were in DC for a specific reason - a march in support of Pro Life values. They hardly displayed values at all and furthermore they are as far away as one can be in religious values. Truly a WWJD moment that was lost.

As a Kentuckian of Native American ancestry, I am appalled & ashamed by the actions of these children. NathanPhillips did not deserve the indecency endured during the depicted incident. These youth are blatantly disrespectful, sad, pathetic, & do not represent Kentucky's morals.

Headline from another fake news outlet.

The result of getting your holy water from the well.

These kind of hateful actions just blow my mind. I just don't get it.

I figured he'd be playing craps at a casino.

I saw AnaCabrera interview the brave NathanPhillips on CNN. What she should do is interview the MAGA teen that was in his face so the world can see & remember this youth so full of hatred & disrespect. Let this abhorrence follow him 4 the rest of his life. MAGAbrats

despicable

So we’re expected to believe that the Catholic archdiocese is going to investigate anything?

Wow. Conjuring a bothsides version of a literal one-sided assault of a Native American military veteran by privileged white boys. Complete removal of all agency from the lede. Somebody is interviewing for a job nytimes, eh?

Tense exchange? Call this what it was: Racial intimidation. Terrible word phrasing. Delete.

Misleading! There was no exchange, just good ole privileged christian white boys harassing and mocking a First Nation elder and Vietnam vet who ignored them with dignity.

If one of those kids was my sun, he would be much more scare of me than is school and I would burn any hats like those if I put my hand on it. :-(:-((

1) not an exchange. 2) FUCKING GOOD. youwillbeheldaccountable

Real reporting would show it wasn’t an exchange. These bigoted teenagers harassed the Vietnam Vet and his group.

PaulBegala This is an absolutely irresponsible headline.

'exchange?' Throw this headline into the sea and start again.

There was no “tense exchange.” These young male Catholic MAGA supporters surrounded, jeered, physically intimidated, and harassed a peaceful Native American veteran.... in the name of “respect for life.”

Where exactly is the “exchange” which requires interaction. Native Americans doing their thing peacefully while being taunted by punks in MAGA hats is not an exchange. Also, anyone hear a rebuke from King MAGA himself? Yeah, didn’t think so. Fix your shit.

You mean “young nazis harass Native Veteran”

It wasn't an 'exchange'. It wasn't 'it takes two to tango'. Delete this headline. Try one that expresses the truth

Get better writers. There was no “tense exchange “. There was a mob of privileged, MAGA-hat wearing thugs harassing a peaceful man.

Sooo, their statement had to include a shout out and apology to their march and the pro life people? Really?

PaulBegala Funny when the vicious feminists attack and spit on senior citizen march for lifer it never gets this type of attention.

This is how Donald Trump Republicans are raising their children

Your headline is a horrible faliure. There was no 'exchange.' Punks harassed a Native American veteran. Get some professionals on staff or wrap it up.

It's such an odd sight to see young people with smirks and sneers on their faces preening as though it's obvious they are better than the people they are antagonizing - while being filmed actually PROVING they lack any moral substance to be up to par with even insects or rodents.

You wrote spoiled entitled white boys wrong.

New headline 'teenagers can be silly sometimes'

DoBetter

Harassment is the correct term here: one person got up in the morning to sing, the other got up to harass. There is no 'both sides' here, which is what 'exchange' alludes to. Crack open a dictionary !

As they should!

PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE HATRED DIVISIVENESS RACISM THAT COMES SPEWING LIKE VERBAL DIARRHOEA FROM THEIR T.V. BOX FROM THE MOUTH OF TRUMP & HIS SOAP BOX HACKS FOX. XENOPHOBIC HOMOPHOBIC RACIST RHETORIC 24/7. HE IS NOT 100% TO BLAME PARENTS ARE ALSO TO BLAME. THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN NOW

It was a racist mob being physically intimidating to a minority group.

This is exactly what’s wrong with America. White racists are not called that by media - i’m unfollowing goodbye

My Alma mater was a rival of Cov Cath, we hated those assholes....I knew we were right about them.

That kid is making the same face his bunk mate will make when he walks into their cell for the first time.

There was no exchange. The children were confrontational and the indigenous people did NOT respond. I want video of the administrators at this school speaking out after expelling all of them. And I want the priest who 'chaperoned' this trip excommunicated by the Vatican.

An 'exchange' is 2-way, USAT. This was hostility flowing in 1 direction.

Not an exchange!

An exchange requires 2 parties to be going back & forth. ONLY ONE SIDE PARTICIPATED. A Native American Elder, who is also a Vietnam Veteran, was harassed and disrespected by an entitled white brat. Get it right, USA Today. DoBetter

Try again, this was not a “tense exchange.” DoBetter

Are we taking Trump’s side USA TODAY?

The New Hitler Youth

I saw neither a tense exchange or mocking. FakeNews

This is such a bullshite head line and you know it.

JoeBarri GOOD

What is wrong with you? That was a Native elder, a veteran, being taunted and harassed.

It was not an exchange. It was intimidation & racism. Covington Catholic should be ashamed of their students, their chaperones & the environment they foster that made these young men think this behavior is ok.

This starts in the home and the parents should be ashamed. Opportunity here for that entire community to come together to discuss, reflect, learn and be better than this.

Here's a link to the school's handbook. Please note the Code of Conduct for students starting on page 17.

why call them “A Group of young men” and not racists fools?

Seems this is exactly what the Gillette commercial is about.

It was not a “tense exchange,” you jerks. It was a white Catholic teen (and others like him) confronting and jeering at and dehumanizing a Native elder and Vietnam Vet. There was no “exchange.” God. Fucking do better.

Harassment is not the same as a tense exchange

Good. I hope their parents are proud. Expel all of them. I'm Catholic and this is not what I feel represents being a Catholic.

IMG_4148.mov

How do we know they’re racist? Sometimes punks are just punks no matter who is in front of them. Also, kids act like their parents have let them act.

It wasn’t a “tense exchange “ the elder was singing & peacefully protesting. He has the right to protest, it wasn’t a back & forth . That white privileged prick has no right being in the elder face. plz report correct facts. Shame on y’all

Good! What the hell are they teaching at that school? Those kids didn’t behave like Christians, that’s for sure.

Tense exchange my foot...that was pure disrespect...

EXCHANGE? The person who wrote that needs to be demoted.

There was no exchange. There *was* a large group of Catholic, white bullying teenagers and their encouraging adults confronting a Native elder and war veteran conducting a prayer though.

You guys can surely do better than tense exchange? Cause that's not what it was. How about harassment? Attacking strangers? Attacking & harassing Native America elders who are also veterans?

I don't even understand what's happening here. Why is there so many people wearing MAGA hat's and like ONE native? did he walk up to them? And I mean the kids are just smiling really. So what teens are smiling? Elder kept his drum at least 👍Let's be pragmatic here.

Tense exchange? You mean some white boys in MAGA hats harassed, attempted to intimidate, disrespected, and made threatening advances on an Indigenous elder. There I fixed it for you.

No. Delete this. Try again. Language is not a blunt instrument—you're choosing to be imprecise (and wrong) here.

What 'exchange'? I only saw one group of racists attempting to bully & disrespect Native American people

Okay.. Now critique this one... 👇🏻

Tense exchange? GMAFB

lol fuck your bulshit headlines

Name and shame.

Lock them up.

These students should be expelled. They embarrass our nation.

Your mischaracterization of what happened is so irresponsible that it reads as if you're working in support of these kids' violent racism.

There was no exchange. It was clearly harassment of an indigenous Vietnam vet by a bunch of entitled white boys from a catholic school, accompanied by their administration.

Fix your article - it wasn't an 'exchange' MAGA harassed and tried to intimidate the Elder.

Shameful.

Yikes

It was not “an exchange.”

That student needs to be kicked out! Shame!!!!!

Irresponsible

It was not an “exchange”.

JoeBarri 'Exchange?' Really? Maybe you should watch the video. ASSAULT is more like it.

It wasnt an 'exchange'

“Exchange?” Seriously?

A parochial school? How surprising...

Wow. 'Tense exchange'. That's one way to report it. Is your editor on vacation?

Tense exchange He is singing. They are surrounding him, mocking him, and chanting “build that wall.” Don’t both-sides this.

No no no no no. This was not an 'exchange. Have you watched the video?

It was not ‘an exchange’. It was a group of MAGA yahoos harassing a Native American drummer.

Field trip? Where are the chaperones and teachers that are on the trip with them?!?! Watching from the sidelines? These teens had adult supervision.

This is what gives journalists a bad name. Start telling it like t is. It was a bunch of white kids in maga hats that believe their skin color makes them superior. It was no exchange between an elder NA and the hs idiots. If my kid was acting like that, he would get a beating

Exchange? Really?

Your headline is wrong

Looks like the libs have gotten around to masquerading identity.

I guess seeing a brown person makes most white reporters report as tense. The media does not think that black & brown people r humans. They hate us

So the MAGA CHUDS are finally ditching the whole “we’re not white supremacists” thing, huh?

Tense? There were acting like brown shirt fascists. So much for Christian education. 🔥👎🏻✝️

What goddamn 'exchange'? Did I miss something? Mediocre journalism becomes you.

LiteracyVolunteers, clean-up, stat!

Are you kidding? There was no exchange. These Catholic kids were aggressive to him, wore Maga hats and chanted Build the Wall . To 1 Native American who was a Veteran. Do Your Job.

Bad lead line USAToday This was not “an exchange” the MagaKids staged an affront to cause a confrontation. NathanPhillips is a hero in exercising class & humanity. A war veteran, an environment activist - He is what makes me proud to be an American.

Exchange You should do better.

Shameless privileged Republicans from KY hate Veterans and America, love Putin and people that give aid to our enemies. This type of physical harassment, against a Vet, is illegal and these kids and their parents should go to jail! Would teach them about the real world.

Tense exchange between? You make it sound like the Native American veteran was actively participating. Either you’re racist, fvcking stupid, or shouldn’t be in the news business because this was blatant HARRASSMENT & INTIMIDATION against an innocent person by a MOB of MAGAS

The media just fails absolutely every day. This is PATHETIC.

You’ve described something different than what happened. Do better.

You will not try to make this an exchange when it was a bunch of ignorant teens trying to intimidate a native American veteran.

It was not an exchange !!!!

The above headline is FAIL. There was zero, “exchange.” Here is an example of a correct headline. Do better.

A 'tense exchange'?!!! Have you SEEN the footage you 'reported' on? Shame on you, ! Talk about SHITTY, downright WRONG reporting! Are you working for the realDonaldTrump administration or FOXNews?!!!!!!!!!! You owe those marchers an APOLOGY!

WRONG! This is not a “tense exchange” “between”. This is a group of little ship heads looking to intimidate, bully, and screamlouder than the indigenous marchers.

White male entitled headline. They yelled and laughed in the face of a war vet.

MajorMassSpec This headline sucks. It should read 'a video shows a group of young men intimidating and mocking indigenous marchers in DC.' The 'exchange' was avoided with dignity and honor by the indigenous group.

Blatant racism is more accurate than exchange.

Those racist students need to be in the classroom not in Washington DC.

🖕🏽you guys for calling this an “exchange.”

Not nearly as bad as the numerous times yoing liberal ANTIFA thugs violently assaulted people. Yet, the communist media chooses to make an issue out of this.

This man is a patriot, those MAGAs who harassed him are nationalists/fascists. Racism masquerading as patriotism is called 'fascism'. True patriots like the American people, false patriots (fascists/nationalists) hate the American people.

Facts matter: state the facts properly and perhaps the narrative will find a way to properly unwind itself. Continue to parse words and nothing will change. Ffs

Remove👏 and👏 fix👏 this story. Eyes on you.👈👀🔥

Mitch’s state? Ok...🤨

I attended Catholic school from kindergarten through high school, as did my children, and WE NEVER behaved like this. This isn't a Catholic thing - this is the culture of this school in particular. Their behavior is the exact opposite of Catholic teachings and beliefs.

Exchange? Really? Harassment is far more accurate.

How was that an 'exchange'?

IndigenousPeoplesMarch indigenous IPMDC19 WeareStillhere WaterisLife NoDAPL NoKXL MMIW NotyourMascot NotyourCostume NativeYouTube UsA America

People saying exchange, you are missing the fucking point!

No exchange. Just intimidation from one side

When is the media going to get these stories correct. NEVER because of their liberal bias thst pushes false propoganda all the time

What exchange?

I'm sorry... what exactly was 'exchanged' here? Fix. Your. Headline.

WTF? “exchange” implies both sides were involved, enough of this bullshit reporting, words and phrases matter.

No exchange - bullying and taunting an elder - change your headline

Printing “exchange” doesn’t make you more objective if it’s blatantly not what happened.

This is more fake news

Tense exchange? On one hand there were a bunch of entitled little bullies behaving badly. On the other was a respected elder and Vietnam vet demonstrating nearly superhuman restraint and dignity. Not much of an exchange.

They’re raised to “think” this way! Go straight to their parents AND TEACHERS

Covington Catholic wasn’t anticipating that the kids they sent to DC would reveal the bigotry in Covington Catholic HS.🥶 The chaperones that didn’t put the kibosh on the students behavior, facilitated in putting them at risk for violence. The jerk kids and HS should apologize.

Hey, - DanRather has some editorial advice for you ....

This was abnormal behavior. I’d look deeply into this boys past. Something maybe Catholic Church “rapey” happened to this poor boy. Normal humans don’t act that way.

It's always Kentucky. Poor dude.

These are no Catholics, I was just in Rome and had and audience with the Pope, he would be appalled.

You misspelled 'assault'

Trump calling Warren Pocahontas has consequences. Hopefully if many folks contact the school these boy's MAGA parents will get the message that this behavior is disrespectful.

The man got in their face, but they’re the bullies?

I doubt those punks give a crap about any life or they wouldn’t treat people like that. Makes me sick.

Sounds like trumpies! Trump said he would cover legal expenses?

So the kids are now being accostrd after Nathan Phillips walked up to them - that's the video i saw. Of course the CorruptMedia will only edit what they choose.

You watched that video and saw an “exchange” Wow. Both sides, I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not a fucking exchange

As they should. Only dumb individuals would have done what they did. A show of lack of respect is not what education is about. In any lingo!

So tired of this not all people are bad that support Trump stop with the labeling you hear stories like this on both sides people as a whole need to get a grip

Good. It should. That kid stood in front showed the lack of respect Trump shows every day. They deserve all the criticism they will receive.

stop sugarcoating it

This is legit infuriating

It wasn't a 'tense exchange.' It was a group of bigots trying to intimidate a Native American tribal elder. There was no 'exchange.'

“Exchange”? What exchange? There was one MAGAt blocking the path of a Native participant, and several more MAGATs surrounding the group and chanting slurs. That’s not an exchange, that’s racist harassment. Consider your life. Consider your choices.

‘Tense exchange’?! Excuse yourself. This is a racist group showing hatred toward someone who doesn’t look like them. The end. Go get your clicks elsewhere. You’re part of the problem.

Gen Z is looking great. Proud of these boys.

These headlines. Mocking someone during prayer isn't an exchange.

It's disgusting. No excuses.

Tense exchange? Really Is that what you saw?

Entitled white boys harrasses a war vet and First Nations man. Get it right.

He was honoring Native American veterans buried at Arlington national cemetery. This wasn’t a fucking exchange. Get it right. Do your work, journalists. This isn’t a fluff piece!!

This wasn't an exchange, it is teenagers who feel entitled harassing a Native American Vet. Where are the chaperones? If they feel emboldened to act this way when being recorded how to they act when no one is watching? Is this the new face of the Catholic Church USCCB ?

An 'exchange'? They harassed this man, there was no 'exchange'. F off with your 'both sides' garbage. Are you going to claim now there's good people on both sides? Sickening.

Exchange? Get a better Thesaurus!

Fake news, next!

Alas the ugly road your fearless leader has paved for you. Well deserved. How he is still in office baffles the world.

Tiki torches apparently didn’t arrive on time.

A more accurate headline.

Polychromantium “Tense exchange” FFS

Yeah let's see if they know anything about the Navajo Code Talkers.

'Tense exchange?' Wrong. Fix this wording.

What exchange? The Native American played his drum and didn’t interact at all.

Do you actually know the definition of exchange? Shameful headline . It wasn't 'an exchange'. It was an act of mob mentality, harassment, violence and racism against a Native-American Vietnam Veteran. This is no news. Is justifying venomous behavior.

CovCathColonels students and staff are trash!!!

Just throw the whole school away

This was not a exchange. This was harassment and racists.

Dishonest and mendacious. There was no exchange.

supmikeclines, this is the Covington Catholic School Code of Conduct, and your decision on this matter is being followed. CLOSELY.

Your headline is pathetic. There was no exchange. They were taunted and encroached on, and shouted at. Nathan continued to sing his song. Please do better.

Watch the video again and then correct your headline please. This was no exchange.

Holy weasel words, . There wasn’t a “tense exchange” of anything. Do better.

The cowardice you all suffer from to not just call this racist.

exchange? The man was singing a prayer and was rudely stared at and jeered. You need to issue a correction.

Here, let me help: Entitled racist punk kids harass and attempt to intimidate honorable indigenous Vietnam Vet. Catholic School officials fail to teach students basic humanity despite receiving ~$4.3 million in tuition fees.

Tense exchange?

How do you define “exchange”? This was nothing less than elder abuse. There was no “exchange”.

'Tense exchange'? If this had been POC harassing a White man or woman, would you label it a tense exchange? Stop covering up White People's hatred. Call it what it is: Racism!

How about a crowd of young male Trump supporters harassed a Native American veteran. There was no exchange. You need to fix this. Stop with the both sides.

What was the exchange? Nathan Phillips performed and those kids harassed him during the performance. Those kids need some serious punishment.

EXCHANGE? What video were you watching? These idiots were harassing this indigenous elder. He wasn't interacting with them at all. He just continued his son. Correct your headline!

A tense exchange I think you mean to say a mob of white teen boys harassing a group of Native American activists and taunting a veteran

“Exchange?”

Hey guys; Watched that video a few times, saw nothing resembling an 'exchange', just one person being complete asshole to another. That headline just isn't good writing. I know you can do better.

WTH there was no tense exchange, the over privileged MAGA shits broke up the Indigenous People’s March and attacked this Vietnam war vet..he maintained his adult quiet demeanor DoBetter

Their Parents need to answer some questions on their parenting!

'Exchange'? When did you guys come down with 'both sides disease'?

Exchange? It's racist. Call it racist. WHY IS THAT SO HARD

The tidepod and birdbox challenge generation.

That native dude went to them hoping some shit would happen.

This wasn’t a tense exchange!! This was pure hatred, intimidation and racism from a group of horrible Trump loving assholes.

Tense exchange? Wtf!?

Another fine example of both sideism bullshit.

GOOOOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!

“Tense exchange” is a weird way to spell “racist attack.”

Group of young men How about group of racist pricks...

“Tense exchange”? Seriously More like a “racists exchange”.

This you cover?

A public apology should be called for!

So anybody who wears maga is like this? Lmao whoever wrote this is a joke.

“Tense”? The indigenous marchers were taunted and treated appallingly. Get real, .

The irony - boys from a catholic school spewing remarks of ignorance and hate. Makes a body ashamed of the human race - Huckleberry Finn

Tense exchange? As in, both sides are to blame?

This was not a 'tense exchange,' this was racist harassment. Don't cover for these idiots, call it what it is.

'Between' Fuck off.

Way to try to twist it it was not an tense exchange, Nathan was being harassed by those ignorant students!!

'exchange' Seriously, can you just not?

Unbelievably sad and disrespectful

Huh exchange?

nmgreenchile I didn't see 'indigenous marchers'. I saw an elderly Veteran indigenous man surrounded by a mob harassing and verbally assaulting him.

USA TODAY, 1970: National Guard is facing backlash after tense exchange at Kent State University.

What the fuck is up with this headline? Lmao there was no exchange. These children were harassing a peaceful man. Lmao “young men” MY ASS. These are children and they always will be until they learn to RESPECT other people.

Did you actually see the footage or talk to witnesses? I suggest you do that before you print such misinformation.

Mocking a brave Vietnam vet while wearing a draft-dodger’s hat

Exchange? Can one-sided aggression be considered an exchange? You also gonna tell us there were 'good people on both sides'?

Catholic HA

Exchange? USA TODAY can and should do better than to suggest that Nathan Phillips was an antagonist against the Catholic mob from Covington. He never engaged with those hyper bigoted kids.

Racism? Or just a bunch of snotty nose little poops that don’t know any better. All involved needed a belt wrapped around their butts.

Correct your headline. racism bigotry hatred CovingtonCatholicHighSchool

is anyone gonna drop their ‘s lol

Shame on them! They bring shame to the school! Someone’s NOT teaching these kids correctly, parents need to crack down, see these kids straight!!!

The Catholic school I went to would have applied serious discipline and consequences for behaviour like that.

This is not an “exchange” it is racist harassment and intimidation of an elderly veteran.

“Exchange”

“a tense exchange” .... nah the Vietnam Veteran & Native Elder was surrounded, mocked, & harassed by MAGA-hat wearing children inspired by trump. He didn’t have an exchange w/ them. He sang and played his drum in the face of hate.

once again misuses the word 'backlash'. The students are facing the CONSEQUENCES for their rude behavior, not a backlash.

What exchange ? ... Natives were peacefully protesting ... Catholic Boy school were intimidating & mocking them

Define exchange...

Wtf is this title? There was no exchange! Stop lying!

Not an exchange. The white kid tried to intimidate the indigenous veteran.

Please fix your misleading headline.

“Exchange” implies that “both sides” took part, when that is clearly not the case. “Harassed” would be more accurate. This caption needs to be edited.

For the young black man to be apart of that as well. I weep for him and his parents.

Thank God I'm NOT Catholic

Tense exchange? Are you out of your minds ? This was not an exchange. It was racist harassment.

Where was the 'exchange'? 😒

Who wrote this 'both sides' headline? Horrifically off-base.

THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE OR ACCURATE HEADLINE USA TODAY

This is despicable!!! Kid needs to apologize and do volunteer work for the tribe for the rest of the schoolyear. DO THE RIGHT THING, DIOCESE!!!

Learn how to write a headline. For fuck sake!

“EXCHANGE”?! Really? That’s your take on this? SHAME on you

They are TrumpTwats That harassed a Native American veteran just to be assholes. They’re not Catholics. They’re not Americans. They are.....

Sad that TRUMP has Succeeded in Bringing RACISM RAGING in America. Raising LOVING Children in 2019 is becoming HARDER, if there not taught HATE POC at home they learn it at school. Never thought Churces would teach hate, Never thought A TRUMP would be televising HATE 24hrs day

I was going to make an analogy to illustrate how deranged it is to categorize this event as a tense exchange, but every one I could think of was too offensive to post. So unlike the USA Today editors, I thought better.

A 'tense exchange'? WTF, it was harassment, plain and simple. Do better 😡

Awful take.

And here is yet another example of deliberate framing by a headline. One that shows just how easy it is to change the tone of a story without technically changing the facts.

I guess they all are not planning to go to College. Because that ship just sailed.

JFC on a pogo stick ... let’s call them what they are ... young white MAGA cultists. There was no damn exchange. They were overtly harassing and threatening a Tribal Elder.

'Exchange' requires two-way communication. Your headline is misleading and smacks of victim shaming

Harassment doesn’t usually have “both sides”. And this did not.

Whoever is the social media person at USA Today: please READ THE STORY you just posted & reflect on whether this is 'a tense exchange' or 'harassment.' Please rewrite & resubmit or see me during office hours.

the man was a veteran

It wasn't an exchange, white teen boys from a Catholic school actively harassed elderly indigenous veterans. There's a 'backlash' because of the obvious racism by this terrible school's hateful little students

No exchange at all. You are idots.

Hohoho Turns out this guy started it. Not the kids. You all are going to apologize now right?

Fix your headline. Those young men were fully intent on harassment and intimidation.

Exchange Why is this hard for you?

This was not an exchange. Fix your headline.

It wasn't a 'tense exchange'. It was some some teenagers, who were old enough to know better, being assholes to an elderly Veteran. Please don't 'both sides' this.

What a horrible school!

If Catholics took decades to denounce pedophiles, they def won't address this anytime soon

Exchange? should be embarrassed to run this header.

A tense exchange? White racist thugs were bullying an elderly Native American man. Stop carrying water for white bigots. Spend all the time you want talking to them in diners, but spare the rest of us. We’ve heard more than enough from them.

What exactly was the “exchange” here? Stick your “both sides” bullshit where the sun doesn’t shine.

What exactly is this Catholic school teaching? OMG! They are building all new Hypocrites that hide behind being “Christians”.

Fix this. Shame on you.

Hey USA Today headline writer -- There was s 'tense exchange'. There was a uni-directional verbal assault. There was no 'both sides' here. Please pay attention to the accuracy of your tweets.

That was not an exchange- that child and the others he was with mocked and tried to intimate peaceful protestors. Choose your words more carefully.

Fake MAGA-Fake News. NEXT.

What exchange? The spoiled entitled racists were invading the elderly veteran's space and mocking him. Biased reporting.

Get it right CNN, the young man harassed the Native American. There was no “exchange!” Shameful for you not exposing this hate for what it is.

There was no exchange. How about you actually watch the footage you’re reporting on. Have some integrity ffs.

Delete your tweet and rewrite it. There was no “tense exchange.” Does your social media writer know what the word “exchange” means?! Because Nathan Phillips was not participating in the MAGA kids posturing, intimidation and attempts to spark an altercation.

Hate starts at the top.....

Sad watching these Native Americans, being attacked by these foreigners. By foreigners, as in those high school kids.

'exchange' - shame on your USA Today

“Tense exchange”? The punk-ass MAGA kids were obnoxious, disrespectful little assholes mocking an indigenous elder who happens to be a veteran, and who also, by the way, kept his cool the entire time. This is not a case of “very fine people on both sides”. This was harassment.

EXCHANGE 🤦🏾‍♀️ DeleteYourAccount

Where's the rest of the video that shows an actual exchange? I see people standing around listening to the drums and some dancing and bopping their heads to it. Please furnish the ENTIRE video supporting your story, or take this fakenews down.

the MAGA Racist boys where there for MarchForLife Nathan phillips a vietnam vet was doing a prayer for peace, they distracted these racist from black protestors being harassed. Nathan is a tribe elder & does Ceremonies for fallen Native american soldiers in Arlington cem,

TENSE EXCHANGE?!!? Absolutely not

It WASN’T an exchange!

MsButterflyyy WTH... this man faces his aggressors with pride for his heritage, rightfully so! These young kids from a Catholic school, no less, wearing their maga hats need to be disciplined!!! Trumps America!!!

“Exchange”? Are you kidding?

RedaMor_ Principal must Resign

Jesus. Mary. And. Joseph. That was not an exchange.

Your headline earned you an unfollow. smh

TENSE EXCHANGE Minimize racist mob attacks much, USA today? I'm disgusted by these entitled kids, but even more disgusted by media enablers like you.

Obviously this school is not living up to its mission statement. One of the first lessons learned is to respect our elders; No matter what culture or creed.

Tense exchange

I am ashamed at your lead portraying the horrific bullying of indigenous peoples of America by a bunch of white boys from Covington Catholic School in Kentucky as an exchange. No exchange! BTW they are Vietnam veterans.

This is a bullshit lede. Change it.

realDonaldTrump is this too much for you to comment on? Too much to read? You have given license to this madness. Will AnnCoulter be mad if you say something?

It was not an exchange. Correct your erroneous report

Your tweet is inaccurate

Exchange? What bs is this?

That's a piss poor description of what really happened. WTF is it with media pussy footing around simple facts? There wasn't an 'exchange'. There was a group of MAGA hat wearing High School boys surrounding & trying to intimidate a Native American Elder and Vietnam veteran!

REALLY POOR HEADLINE. That is not what happened at all. They mocked and harassed an elderly veteran.

I saw no exchange! I saw brats harassing an elder.

Not an “exchange.”

I am sure every kid at that hs knows the name of the boy who stood nose2nose 2 the elder and us war veteran/hero. I hope that kid gets expelled and that the diocese/bishop doesn't let mommy and daddy pay them off

KKona

This headline is awful. That veteran stood his ground peacefully stood in the face of bigotry and didn't blink. The man was already a honorable man and hero, this just amplifies it.

“A GROUP OF YOUNG MEN?!!?!!” YOU MEAN THE WHITE POWER DEMONSTRATORS YOU BIGOTED OUTDATED PUBLICATION!!

It was an assault. An exchange. WTF is wrong w/you? It was an ASSAULT!!

I just read a superintendent was with them. This is just horrible that kids are raised to act like this to their elders. Telling Native Americans to leave their own country. Parents should look at the education they are getting there as well. But it’s McConnell state

Kids today don’t seem to have much respect for much of anything; especially people that are different from them, or their elders. Seems racism is getting worse not better which is so very sad. People of any age should respect their elders above all.

Exchange me arse. That was straight up intimidation tactics. The kid should be ashamed.

Thanks for enabling racists. There’s clearly many proud republican supporters in that group of young men. You should write about their economic anxiety and concern for border security.

I did not see an exchange. I saw disrespect and efforts to intimidate.

Whitewash - white·wash/ˈ(h)wītˌwäSH,ˈ(h)wītˌwôSH/ To whitewash is a metaphor meaning 'to gloss over or cover up vices, crimes or scandals or to exonerate by means of a perfunctory investigation or through biased presentation of data'.

Tense exchange? How about actual bullying. That’s what they did. Disrespectful and racist young men.

Catholic’s for ye.

“Exchange” my ass

Bullshit take, .

Help me to understand what was the tense exchange? You guys got to do better.

This is a trash take. Calling it a “tense exchange” is disingenuous. Those disrespectful little shits harassed a peaceful protester, and they thought it was funny because of what they seen from the President and in their homes.

Expell them all. Let those effing white MAGA boys be marginalized and see how that feels!

His holiness is pleased. Praise Jesus and this school for raising such good christian men! A pillar of his community and real Kentucky hero! Mike pence is beating off to this video right now!!!

Y'all spell young white racists wrong

TraitorTrumptheTyrant this is your fault the school adminstration and most of all the fault of the parents of the spoil eggs. What we saw was shameful. HOW CAN ANYONE RAISE THIS TYPE OF CREATURE. I hope they know NATHAN PHILLIPS ancestors walked these grounds before white men.

It wasn't an exchange. It was white racist 'christian' kids wearing MAGA hats shouting down a minority that was only singing a song. Thet are Trump Hitler Youth .

You should be ashamed of this. Profoundly ashamed. And you need to apologize.

'exchange'

A tense exchange?! No.

Ignorance!!

That's a fail, USA Today. There's no 'two sides' argument here.

“Exchange”?! WTF school did you go to? 🙄

Tense exchange? Wow. That is the best journalism you got?

Covington Catholic High School should be handing out some 3 week suspensions. That man’s old enough to be his grandfather!

An exchange? What u smocking USA Today... you need to do a 2nd take with this article

I guess we’re going to ignore the fact that female and black students were also in the group?

That was not an 'exchange'. The students were preventing the indigenous people from leaving. The school needs to review their teachings.

Bullshit

You need to do better with your headline.

Group of racist young men.

Exchange?!?

This is not true.

What exchange?

punchthisface

kygov Your humanity is in the spotlight.

Media are clueless and you’re going to just keep on lying until you hit a backlash like you’ve never seen before!!

Don't get mad at usatoday they're not a real news source

Get your facts straight and redo the headline. Did anyone over there even watch the video?

Disrespectful at the highest level. It starts at home and I hope there are consequences for their disgusting behavior. Parents, take charge of your kids!

Exchange?

“Exchange” ? Are u serious? this is true intellectual dishonesty. Here is the Merriam-Webster’ s definition of exchange 1 : the act of giving or taking one thing in return for another . 2a : the act or process of substituting one thing for another. TRY AGAIN

Did you even watch the videos? There was NO 'exchange'. It was a mob of smug MAGA brats acting like the complete morons they are. I hope colleges are taking notice. They all need to be minimum wage workers for the rest of their lives.

Seriously USATODAY? You call a bunch of entitled brats making fun of a VETERAN singing a traditional native song a 'TENSE EXCHANGE' SHAME ON YOU

Hopefully this Catholic high school will develop a curriculum that includes Christian values. That could help.

There was no exchange. Just a very disturbing, disgusting, disrespectful display of young high school kids being racist punks. Change ur headline. It's wrong & misleading. That's also disturbing and disrespectful! Shame on u.

Came for the Pro-Life protest. Stayed for the racism.

And the Diner Sit-ins in the 60s were also a 'tense exchange' right? This is was just a bunch of thug MAGA assholes harassing a War Veteran. Pro-Life my ass

“Exchange?” That’s a stretch. One side was peaceful. One side taunted. Words matter ( reporters), just like actions matter ( KY students.)

But they didn't actually do anything

Exchange? What in the hell are you talking about? Get a hearing aid & put some damn glasses on.

what exchange? the old guy was playing a drum and singing

Kids name is Michael Hodge

The use of the word “exchange” is inaccurate. There was no “exchange”.

Change that stupid headline immediately.

I stand with NathanPhillips and honor him and his anscestors who were here before us all. May those responsible pay a hefty personal price and learn a lesson about NATIVE AMERICANS. We are the immegrants.

It wasn’t an exchange. They went to incite violence against patriots.

Exchange? No. Harrassment by a bratty kid of a man peacefully protesting? Yes.

These are Rand Paul’s kids. Are we surprised? They breed these hateful kids like they breed horses in Kentucky RandPaul 15 years old with this kind of hate. Wow

Hey senatemajldr Mitch McConnell.. is this what you prefer?

This headline sucks!

Tense exchange!!!!? Stop it. No wonder the term 'fake media' is a thing.

This is the principal MR robertrowe of Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky. YOU sir should be very proud! racismistaught this is what this piece of crap school is teaching their students.

Exchange?!?!? In what world was it an exchange? That smirk needed to be wiped off that smug little jerk’s face. Now THAT would have been exchange, but as always the world would have lost it’s head if the gentleman put that boy in his proper place.

If we tried to pull this stunt when I went to Catholic HS (1967-1971), we would have been expelled so fast the enamel on our rosaries would have melted!

I don’t see what they did wrong.

There was no *exchange*. This little punk was in this Vietnam veterans face. He could have retaliated in turn, but he was there to honor indigenous veterans, not for a fight. He was peacefully singing How dare this punk! Every day, it gets worse.

Sooooo these idiots go to a march for life and try to hassle a Native American Vietnam VETERAN to death. MAGAtts have no home training!

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in this headline. This was an ambush.

There was no 'exchange.' It was entirely one-sided.

Where's the outrage?

It's called racist harassment. Not an 'exchange'

nothing happened!!!!If anything the Native American is the one that got closer and closer and closer to the young man

Not too long ago, the KKK targeted Catholic immigrants. And, Little Boy Dotard is taunting a Vietnam Vet — a man who has honorably served our Nation in WAR! Our Nation’s shame! WTF CovCathColonels CinState supmikeclines?!?

Exchange?

There was no 'tense exchange.' There was racial harassment of a Native American veteran & elder, Mr. Nathan Phillips, by an unknown white CovingtonCatholicHighSchool student. DoBetter

The PARENTS shld get the backlash FIRST... There's a type of WHITE PARENT / GUARDIAN here in AMERICA that has continued 2 TEACH HATE. Until trump I was STUPID ENOUGH 2 actually think RACISM wld die off :/ I was Very Wrong... This type of ppl... They Need 2b LEFT BEHIND!!

Wait, let me get this straight - a CATHOLIC HS, in Kentucky, of all places, has students that may be a bit provincial in their Worldview? keepmoving nothingtoseehere CovCathColonels

Hope a loca high school hunts them down and beats tolerance into them. Racism and bigotry are political stances. They are hate. And they need beat out of people.

🙁 where is the love?

An exchange? We see your racist truth

Thoughts and prayers

Smh at tense exchange. I guess USA Today has to protect its racist base.

There was no exchange.

fake news!!!!

There was no exchange. He was harassed, period.

This is disgusting. No one should be mocking anybody. All people have the right to be respected and treated with kindness and dignity. It saddens me to see how mean and ignorant people can be to one another. We need love, not hate.

That boy did nothing wrong

It wasn’t the worst these proud Vietnam veteran saw. Homecoming was

This isn't a exchange. This is hatred and racism on full display. Make the responsible correction and call a thing a thing. Stop enabling racism!

“Exchange” implies the Indigenous People were also at fault. Get your shit together and call this what it actually is

The Native American elder was neither tense nor exchanging.

Tense exchange? They were harassing a man who was singing. And kept singing. It wasn’t “an exchange” 😡😡😡😡

Tense exchange? the elder was harassed by hateful MAGA hat wearing little twits. Try again

Let the school take care of them punks, is that what they teach them in Catholic school[ hate ]

Since when does the the left care about vets? Oh! He's native American.

There was no 'exchange' - how about you tell the truth.

Catholicism. Producing only the finest.

Fu!!! There was NO exchange.. the native American veteran was not engaging with the racist maga hat wearing teenager.. he was peacefully singing not ENGAGING with the kid at all. Do better!

“Exchange”? is a disgrace.

This is an anti-white hate post

People think this type of this shit is funny at first but then it stops being funny after what happens next

Hey, if you could change tense exchange to young belligerent shits personify the example of 'Manifest Destiny' and intimidate those who were there from before and enclose them...that'd be great 🤗

How dare you call that an exchange! That was harassment, plain and simple. YOU are part of the problem... a big part.

Almost as horrible as what women did to Kavanaugh.

, there wasn’t an exchange. It was one way disgusting behavior displayed by the young man, your headline is misleading. Please do better!

Shame on these young men. Shame on the parents who raised them. Shame on the school they attend. Shame on the PRESIDENT they EMULATE!!!!!!!

It starts at home folks.

This is the ugly tone of our country under the influence of Donald Trump.

This is total bullshit I saw the whole thing. They did not surround him he walked right into the middle of them and all they did was smile at him. Antifa would have set his old ass on fire. This is a liberal alt-left conflation and I will be damned if you get away with lying.

This was a one sided 'exchange'. The brats in the MAGAT hats attempted to intimidate this veteran.

I'm wearing an Adidas hat and Puma trainers, does that make me a Nazi.

Inaccurate headline. This man was harassed by this racists young men.

What is with Kentucky lately? They mock Native Americans and they abuse animals left and right

A Catholic High school in Kentucky is facing backlash after a video showed their racist students being racist. - fixed it for you.

Those kids need a lesson in History, respect and manners.

I wish the snowflakes would melt.

My heart is heavy to see these Young Racist Kids DISRESPECT a Elder! Not just a native american but a ELDER! If these ignorant kids are our future we ARE IN REAL TROUBLE PEOPLE! GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY WE NEED IT!

A tense exchange? An exchange implies back and forth. This was a shameful group of youngsters with a mob mentality attempting to intimidate a Native elder who ways paying respect to vets.

Where the fck was the exchange?this was one way harassment. Damn this was an easy headline to get correct and y’all still fcked it up!!🤦🏾‍♂️

Can we stop framing every harsh political event in a way that makes both sides equally responsible for what is taking place? This man was not lashing out at the punk MAGA hats harassing him. Heather Heyer was not in a tense exchange with the MAGA hat who ran her down.

Tense?! How about racist intimation? Stop this shit.

There was no exchange, the Native represented silent strength while the MAGA racist disrespected and mocked him. Change this headline!!!!!!!

What exchange are you talking about? There was no exchange. a bunch of disresepectful kids harassed a veteran while her sang his song. All they saw was brown skin and decided he was a prime target for their bigotry.

The social media person at the school pushed the panic button really quickly. They shutdown all social media links before anyone could react.

No exchange. Just ExposeChristianSchools MAGAts being ignorant

Kids a a-hole and all his band mates wish me and my Indian brothers were there I hope he at least gets suspended from school with a paddle

White people just not cool..

no no no nope. it was not an “exchange” that little asshole was trying to intimidate. don’t both sides this shit.

Do better USA today, there was no exchange, it was racisim only on one side

Those young people should be expelled and asked to write letters of apology to Mr. Phillips. Their insolence not only reflects negatively on the group, organization or school they're with, but on their parents! SMH!! 🙏🏽 for 🇺🇸.. Who makes fun of an elder?!👎🏽🤢

From covingtoncatholic code of conduct 1 - SUSPENSION WITH POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION FOR EXPULSION The act of assault or harassment on or off campus of any kind, including the dissemination of unauthorized information and/or videos pertaining to faculty, staff and/or students

“Tense exchange”? Really!? How about unprovoked and immensely disrespectful taunting.

Hey, Pontifex .... you cool with this?

'Tense exchange' Don't both sides this please. Try this- 'MAGA bullies use textbook racism to intimidate Vietnam veteran that was demonstrating culture and civility' Do better please.

No exchange happened. Stop this.

What is wrong with you?

please define exchange. i must have missed that when i watched the video.

This headline takes the typical media both sides approach. The indigenous marchers were minding their own business and these awful kids harassed them.

berriesandblood Their Senator senatemajldr, watches his Kentucky boys w such pride.

Exchange? You must have watched something i didn't.

You fail miserably 'Fine people on both sides.'

Typical religious group full of pedophiles throwing rocks at the innocent to make themselves feel better about their existence.

The adults on that excursion should have instructed those hooligans beforehand on what an honor it was for them to be there. I would really like to know where the chaperones were who were supposed to be setting an example of treating others with dignity and respect.

What was the kid thinking he was accomplishing by stating that man down?

Exchange? Fire whoever wrote this -

✌🏾exchange✌🏾

I pray this students are extremely punished for their actions today. In addition, I would like you ask where were the chaperones for these students? Why were they not monitoring what these children were doing? These children owe these Amazing Indigenous ppl a public apology

“Exchange” is a weird way to describe a mob of bullies.

That wasn't a tense exchange! That was a pathetic racist bully harassing a Native American Veterean. He should also learn to respect his elders...period. His mama better tell him...because someone else will.

Exchange?

What exchange? A native American was drumming and kids in MAGA hats were intimidating him. No exchange.

TrickyDon is Racist

Both sides, amirite

Expel them!

This was not an “exchange “ it was a one sided confrontation.

Them kids need to slapped HARD

Those kids terrorized a Native elder who ignored them and then broke down crying after. That is not a 'tense exchange'. Fire your social media team.

Call it what it is I hate crime HateCrimeHateCrimeHateCrime

Exchange? They were harassed, there was no “exchange”

Can’t wait for the official reaction from the world’s number one leader in boy fucking.

Tense exchange?! THEY WERE BULLYING HIM.

Just go on and delete this, bud

Liberals have been pushing the idea that it is ok to confront others in public places. By this standard, these young men are only executing their right to peacefully assemble.

Geno for Smash Ultimate DLC

Their parents should be proud. Take your flat, ignorant butts home!! Very disrespectful, on many levels! GenerationalCurse

TrickyDon hates AmericanPOWs

There was no exchange. There was intimidation by a crowd of entitled punks who were harassing an elderly Vietnam veteran who is not white.

Was not an “exchange”. These morons were taunting him. Do better journalism please

Everything is a transaction.

It wasn't an 'exchange.' Why do you lie?

“Exchange” wtf? The disrespectful boys surrounded and tried to mock a Vietnam vet while he was peacefully drumming.

The words that you use have power and meaning. This is a brutally incorrect headline. DoBetter

The guy those smug teens accosted was a Vietnam vet. That’s no way to say “Thanks for your service.”

It was, quite literally, the opposite of an “exchange.”

Good lil stupid behind

All i saw was a bunch of white supremacists harrasing peaceful native americans

Total BS!

Group of young racists. Call them what they are.

Exchange? How about harassment, attempted intimidation, & inciting an altercation? Stop downplaying the actions of these stupid ignorant kids and call it why it really is!!

As it should!

Catholic school must have changed since I was there. Sad to see that covingtoncatholic in Park Hill KY seems to have failed this group of young men. Hopefully they can all come together and move forward in the way our faith shows us. Kudos to MrPhillips for his poise & grace

There was no exchange!!!!!

'Exchange'

'Exchange' how about Targeted Harrassment & Racism. Do better! Stop being Collaborators with white supremacists aka nazis.

There’s that bothsideism thing where you place the blame for bad behavior on the victim to excuse the abuser. What a ridiculous lede!

'Tense exchange' my ass. These prep school brats from covingtoncatholic were harassing the Native people. White bigoted brats from Kentucky taught to be bigoted brats by their parents and the disgusting prep school that took them to this spot and watched.

“Exchange!!!” Are you rffing kidding me?

Why are you lying? There was no tense exchanged. It was a group of white spoiled entitled punks disrespecting a true American.

There was no 'exchange.' They behaved like jerks, the gentleman with the drum ignored them.

So they left their pro life (anti reproductive choice) rally to racially abuse a minority which was present before their ancestors colonised and decimated the indigenous population. I despair for the youth, they're about to get a severe reality and self awareness check

Disgusting!! Embarrassing!! Apparently they are not learning anything!! Maybe they need to go to confession!!

Rewrite this garbage headline USA Today to accurately reflect what was happening here. There was no exchange. It was a white teen in a Trump hat staring down a Native elder while his peers jeered and cheered.

If you watch the full video that is NOT what happened! The kids were hanging out and the man walked up to them, banging on a drum. The kids danced for a moment then stood and listened. FakeNews

The disrespect of the elderly in general is at an all-time high in this country. We’ve failed our children, we’ve failed each other. Can you say, “Soylent Green?”

When society and schools are inundated with colonialism, this is the result. It’s why the government continues to break treaties, why there are still sports teams with racist names and fans who think it’s fine to do war chants, beat drums, and dress up as a stereotype.

They are 'entitled' homegrown terrorists!!

There was No 'EXCHANGE'

.There was no EXCHANGE . That was one-sided racist harassment.

Sure didn't look like an EXCHAGE to me. More like harassment

They are ignorant and disgusting. Yelling 'build that wall' to Native Americans during their ceremony. Good job Coventry Catholic of Kentucky. Raise those bigots in the South.

JimKilbane Of course there can't be any connection between this and Trump calling Senator Warren 'Pocahontas' or ridiculing Wounded Knee recently.

Good! I literally want to smack that smug arrogant look off that kids face.

This is a hoax. The kids were provoked by Black Lives Matter and the Indian wandered into the middle of their group. They thought he was chanting with him. Shame on you.

It's a good thing SOMEONE is covering this:

Once again USA is not reporting it right. “There was no tense exchange”.

STOP-All of you!! A bunch of young teens on a fld trip far away from home! You havent ever joked around-had some kicks & giggles with your peers? Why is the MOB always trying to find evry little thing to bring discourse? The hats were bot in some tourist shop! GIVE ME A BREAK!!

McConnell and Paul represents Kentucky......what have they said about this disgraceful display

Parents of those kids failed. Teachers and chaperones of that trip should be embarrassed and dealt with.

Someone should figure out who this punk is and dox him.

Here goes again. Bothsidesism

JimKilbane We called the school and the voice mail was full. I will be calling Monday.

exchange? Do better .

Tense exchange implies both parties being aggressive. Shame on USA Today

Boys. Not young men. Boys. They don't know what they think they know, and life is going to kick their asses if they continue being smug a-holes.

USA TODAY need to stop 😑

Can you please show us this tense exchange ?

The reputation Covington Catholic is terrible. Very snobby and entitled kids. This video doesn’t surprise me at all. Though the school says they’ll take action. The worst thing that will happen is a slap on the wrist or even a suspension. It sickens me to see this.

Someone ask these MAGA dickheads who was here first.

There was NO FUCKING EXCHANGE USA today. None. Remove that inflammatory headline because it just isn't true.

And thus they should plus the students and the parents!

My father would have whipped me with a belt for that type of disrespect...to any person let alone a veteran.

WHAT “tense exchange?” There was no “tense exchange.” Just young, white males in MAGA hats harassing & disrespecting a Native American veteran.

Education system failed those kids as did proper parenting

Media protecting racism. Here is proof.

Parents, come get your kids and smack them. Then, smack yourself.

What EXCHANGE did you see? I saw blatant disrespect and racism.

This was not a “tense exchange”

who's writing this shit? hey MaxLondberg that wasnt an 'exchange'.

This was not a tense exchange. Disrespect and mob mentality from MAGA wearing teens.

Your headline is exactly what is wrong w the elite media today. Your headline is wrong.

STOP! This WASN'T an exchange!

It wasn't an 'exchange'. It was harrassment by white people of native native Americans. Another MSM fail.

How can these little white Catholic dips_hits be marching 'Pro Life' when the 1st thing they do is harrass, intimidate & mock this Indigenous man's life. They're KKK. Every single student should be expelled from this school.

STANDING SHOULD BE BANNED OMG THE HORROR

Oh No....This was very sad. Horrifying!That young man and his team of bullies should be ashamed of themselves. Where is the respect? Kudos to that veteran for standing his ground. Scary this is America's future generation and leaders. God help us all.

Exchange? W5f seriously wtf

Very fine people, on both sides? FOH

JimKilbane Tense exchange? I saw a beautiful Native American elder respond with grace and dignity, singing the songs of his ancestors in the face of a MAGA brat. The only attempt at intimidation or tension came from these Catholic March-for-Lifers. IndigenousPeoplesMarch

IF YOU’RE A NATIVE IN KENTUCKY AND DON’T GO SEE ABOUT SOMETHING YOURE A COWARD !!! GO TIME !!!

'tense exchange'? That sounds like something REI does for hipster campers that only camp in the latest gear. This was 'disrespectful and mocking threats'.

Did you bother to even look at the video? This was NO exchange, it was harassment on the part of these young men. Call it for what it was...Not once did you see Nathan Phillips have any type of exchange. Blatant racism and intimidation. Cancel

A 'group of young men surrounding' and harassing smaller group is not a 'tense exchange.'

Tense exchange? There was only one side doing anything in the racial taunting. Do not give oppressors caught on video any benefit of the doubt.

What are you talking about “exchange”

This is where Mitch is from, you would think theyd be proud. This filth is exactly what excites Trumps base.

“Tense exchange?” You need to rethink your headline. Any attempt to portray this man as partially to blame is hilarious.

Elisabeth Warren has really let herself go.

There was no ‘exchange’! An Indigenous Elder & Veteran held his space, while a pumped-up, privileged, white, ‘Christian’ punk in a MAGA hat tried to intimidate him and degrade him while his MAGA classmates chanted “build that wall!” Blatant hate.

MlleKatMichele That's a ridiculous, ENRAGING, headline 😡. Get your shit together ..

No tense exchange... Headline should read: Racist children being confrontational while a Native American displayed dignity.

This is disgusting despicable disgusting behavior. Shame on Covington Catholic for breeding kids like this. No tolerance. Especially of the True Americans.

As well they should be, facing backlash. Get your act together

That was no ‘exchange.’ That was racially abusive behavior by young white male thugs from Kentucky. In response, an awe-inspiring, dignified profile in courage by the Tribal Elder and Veteran. As a former Catholic in Indiana I am deeply ashamed of this church and school.

A jeering mob in MAGA hats surrounding an Native American elder isn’t an “exchange”.

“Exchange”? Aren’t you supposed to be good at words or something?

KevinlyFather The Catholic school that I went would have expelled us from school in a heartbeat. I hope they will do that.

Catholics always make my job easier. MAGAfromHell RaisedWrong HellWaits4UKid BringYourParents

'Exchange' seriously do you really see an 'exchange'....y'all deserve nothing but

Did we watch the same videos Mfs?

I go to Holmes High school in Covington, KY. Just recently a senior who graduated last year by the name of Jacob Walter was arrested for 3 counts of Sexual assault. I haven’t heard anything about his trial or so fourth. However he laughed at the girl saying “you’ll be alright”pt1

You spelled attack wrong. Do better.

Oh, well, a diocese is looking into it. That usually works out in justice and transparency for everyone. Really looking forward to that.

No wonder that kid probably hafe men he goes to a catholic school znd that means butt buddies for teachers. Or the conservatives way to have anal sex without being queer.😱

One of those little jerks might just wind up with a seat on the Supreme Court one day. I wonder how he will denote 1-19-2019 in his calendar.

GOOD

I'm guessing the Republicans who are quick to condemn Steve King will have nothing to say about the correlation between this and Trump

I went to catholic school. The teachers/teachings are not always the problem - the problem is the character of the students and frankly, their parents.People who truly believe in doing good- regardless of religion- do not do these hateful things

Tense exchange? I observed snot nosed, entitled brats showing major disrespect towards an elder, war veteran who is also a Native American! 🤬 Along with their “chaperones “ who more then likely were their parents! ShameOnThem

Garbage headline

Who approved this 'exchange' headline. Really? Do better.

What exchange? It was young, white men wearing MAGA hats harassing a Vietnam vet. Shameful. Do better.

WHERE WERE THEY RADICALIZED?!

What 'exchange' was that? Why can't you ever just state what everyone can see with their own eyes. It showed teenagers bullying and trying to intimidate a sole Native American man.

Absolutely disgusting behavior. The worst in us has been unleashed.

Exchange ? Not what I watched.

Doesnt an exchange require the involvement of at least two people. As far as I can tell this 'exchange' was initiated by one disrespectful idiot.

That was not an exchange - c’mon now. shameonyou

“Exchange”?!

Young men? You mean “privileged little white boys” this is infuriating 😤

I smell a set up.

Tense exchange?

SarahGould_SA Nothing short of sterilizing those racist monsters will do!

“Exchange”? Young Men”? I believe people who have eyes would prefer “bullying/intimidating” and “racist brats”.

She is right , this was not an exchange.

It wasn’t an exchange. The disrespectful MAGA wearing punk was in his face. Is this the best you can do?

Dear usatoday. You consider this an exchange!! SHAME!!

A much larger group surrounding a much smaller group and not letting them pass while trying to intimidate them is not an exchange. What is wrong with you?

Hey - NOT an 'exchange'. AT ALL. There are not 'very fine people on both sides'. Try journalism for a change. CatholicRacists ITMFA

Racist writer obvioisly

EXCHANGE?!?

״tense exchange'.

How was this an exchange? I’m confused they were participating in their march while being harassed.

Catholic? Hmm that’s so unusual that Catholics would ever do anything like that I mean all they ever did was sexually abuse children by pedophile priests, get moved around and deny any abuses by the church. Abuse natives at there residential schools. I mean Catholics? No way.

“On Jan. 18, 2019 we are uniting Indigenous peoples across the world to stand together to bring awareness to injustices.” I would say after this dust up, Nathan Phillips would say, “mission accomplished.” No disrespect Mr. Phillips, you sure did take advantage of their stupidity.

It’s funny how white people cant see the connection between all indigenous peoples of America. No matter the language we speak. Who is the real foreigner on this continent? It’s not the indigenous brown people. We didn’t build walls. Look at your actions, young and old.

Monicapichardo7 “Tense exchange”? Seriously?!!!!

What, exactly, was 'exchanged', assholes?

Outrageous

'exchange'? What part of the video were you people watching?

OBVIOUSLY THE PARENTS OF THOSE CATHOLIC HS STUDENTS ARE WASTING THEIR MONEY ON TUITION ‼️

Tense exchange? It was a racist standoff. Please report accurately.

That was not “an exchange.”

People pay extra money to have their kids taught that kind of “Christianity”

EXCHANGE

Facing backlash? Boo freakin hoo. Learn to be a human being or don’t go out into society kid.

I wouldn’t exactly call it an exchange when the young white Maga hat wearers were mocking and belittling and trying to physically intimidate an elderly native American war veteran

And now we know why senatemajldr RandPaul get elected in Kentucky. Wonder what their comments will be on this.

What is the exchange?

Another example of rich white privileged young men who have been taught they are better than others. These boys got these collective ideas from somewhere? Millions of us have been saying if your truly Christian you wouldn't support Trump. Someone is raising these racists!

Exchange? This is bad reporting, , do better

God, you're terrible. Learn to write headlines. We all saw the video evidence. A maga hat wearing, entitled, white brat was trying to intimidate a native american veteran. and for the dimwitted among us

Where is the “exchange”? Please correct. This is deeply and irresponsibly inaccurate.

'Exchange' ... wtf? Why do you word shit like this?

They are white boys which means nothing will happen to them. Also Eastern Michigan University needs to be put on blast too for doing the same thing to Nathan Phillips!! shaunking

There should be legal ramifications for their actions. This type of incendiary behavior should not be tolerated and frankly would not be from any other group. If we’re being honest, minorities who peacefully protest are criticized and even arrested for less.

Did anyone else want to punch that kid in the face throughout the entirety of the video? The most smug little punk I was hoping so badly for the elder fella to break his nose with one quick hit of that mallet

There was no 'exchange.' He was accosted and bullied. That's not an exchange.

.This was no 'exchange' - this was an ambush, first planned on women and then switched in focus to First Nations, this Omaha man in particular, when these little buggers saw an opportunity. Clean up your headline and have some respect.

I grew up in Cincy near Covington. I just blasted some of the die-hard Trump supporters that I know in Cincy. I told them to stop teaching kids to hate. One guy teaches in the diocese of Cincinnati, and he just told me I was beating a dead horse!!

What “exchange” did you see? I saw a mob of racists attempting to intimidate a Native American veteran. This is why our media outlets are failing us, this desire to seek a middle ground in every conflict. You can’t continue to “both sides” good v evil.

I find it funny liberal medias never talk about it when the left do it

Half these MAGAts told him to go back to his country.

It’s more than backlash!

Dafuq is wrong with USA Today? You call that exchange? The elder being taunted by this kid who is trying to intimidate him by standing right in his face and space with that disgusting smirk and the other MAGA “kids” are chanting and booing him on a school sponsored trip. RACIST

Let’s hope none of those boys are Scouts or OA members.

Just what we need, more FakeChristians like AnnCoulter

Fire the white guy that wrote this

That’s not an “exchange.” You’re lying in this headline.

Well, if anyone can be trusted to police themselves it's the Catholics...

Good old Kentucky. Still on brand.

Mob mentality. Never good. I see disgusting behavior towards the elderly every day. Lack of integrity.

Mr. Philip went up to those children. He was the adult in the room. The children could behaved better.

Good! Good! And Good!

Exchange? This was a mob.

There was no 'exchange'. It was blatantly one-sided harassment. Fix your headlines.

where is the “exchange”?

How can they march for 'life' when they disrespect those living?

Exchange? Wow. Delete this.

hateful insults exchanged for...what exactly?

What video did y'all watch?

I don't get it. I hope those kids are expelled. If they don't agree with the indigenous people, that's fine. Don't listen to their speeches and leave them alone. Peacefully protest against them if you want. There is no need for violence.

The was no exchange. This young man behaved terribly & disrespectfully to snow indigenous elder, who did not respond. Do better. The blame us on this young man, his chaperones, his school & his parents

Tense exchange? What the hell are you talking about ... this was racist taunting

The question is If people were not out raged and freaked out would there still be a backlash against those idiots

This is the worst fucking headline. Do better .

Not Christianly attributes 😢; should be ashamed.

“Exchange”?

HannahBanana646 Bet he wishes he was famous for fortnite or you tube videos.

Tense exchange? Are you kidding me ?

No. No exchange. The students descended like demons and the victim stood in quiet dignity. Did you even watch the video FakeChristians

“Exchange?” An All-Boys Catholic high school in a wealthy suburb of Cincinnati is facing consequences after its students were filmed taunting Indigenous elders and chanting racist slurs while wearing MAGA hats. Why is the truth so hard?

I missed the “exchange”

Principal needs to resign. Rep Massie Who supported the trip either needs to come out and announced this or he needs to resign. They were there with him.

Their leader while praying...hateful pale faces

They should be ashamed. House am I not surprised they are from Kentucky.

Another black eye on Catholicism. I'm not sure what they are taught in Iowa but in Savannah and Jacksonville Catholic schools, kids aren't taught to hate like that. But what the devil meant for bad, God Made Good. They gonna learn today!

NOPE, there was no “exchange” get the freaking headline right for once. Look at the video.

Breaks my heart how disrespectful these kids are

We're assuming a lot here. Why would a bunch of kids put on MAGA caps and act like this? We need to look into this. It wouldn't be the first time the left has fabricated a hate crime or some other anti-conservative hoax.

No ivy league universities in these kids futures! Losers for life now! Forever in the media now!

'Exchange' implies a two way street. It wasn't!

MarchForLife ? who's lives? not brown lives.

Delete your account.

This is a very bad tweet. A tense =exchange= means *both sides* were misbehaving. Not what happened. At all.

thank God the hedge funders are going to euthanize your paper

these kids are from a pro-life rally? odd, because they only convinced me that we should be able to abort 17 year olds

Lies! The man approached the students NOT the other way around!

Why would an all male school go to a pro-life march? Yes, there are religious associations, but oblivious these mf don’t seem to respect humanity to begin with.

Uhhhh, exchange? You _did_ see the video right?

There was no exchange. Just a bunch of low life racists.

The_Lady_Red People need to hold a protest at cov Catholic hs Monday to send a message.

Exchange! Do not do this equivocation. It was threatening, hateful intimidation.

“Exchange?” Grow a pair and call it like it is. Those “young men” were mocking an Indigenous American, who happens to be a Veteran of our Armed Forces. Don’t make excuses for them or their behavior.

Close that hate incubator posing as a high school down, and colleges need to make sure these actions have real consequences going forward.

Haha “exchange”? If you want to be taken seriously, report what you saw.

Those kids need to show big time respect

That's a exchange? Fake news.

Exchange?! Young men?! Rude kids more like! Seeing this from the UK. The school should be ashamed. They are now famous around the world for bringing up rude kids with no respect.

That was not an 'exchange' and characterizing it as such minimizes the offense of that young man and that crowd. That was a flat out (failed) attempt at intimidation and domination.

What's up with 'exchange', USA Today. You're helping perpetuate this 'both sides' narrative, you know. Do better.

What 'exchange'? There was a mob of white kids jeering and mocking and an elderly vet ignoring them while going about his business fighting for indigenous rights.

Yeah... that description ain’t it

They should suffer backlash. That was blatant disrespect!

WTF is wrong with journalists? Are you censure, edited, bullied, ostracized into writing false conflations? There was no “tense exchanged”, no “both sides”. There was only one side. The side that allows racist white people the ability to exercise their sense of supremacy.

Change your headline. This was harassment, plain and simple.

This headline is so misleading as to what actually happened.

“EXCHANGE” !!!!!?

I swear, half the problem in this country's discourse is BS headlines like this - 'exchange'?!? REALLY?!? Who's your goddamn editor?

I am so glad I dont go to any rallies or any marches because I wouldn't be able to hold my tongue or fists. This is the America we live in. It has always been like this now its acceptable because of the ass hole in office.

What’s the reason for all of these students being there? Don’t you got some homework to do?

I saw the video. The kid just stood there. The adults were mocking him for his hat.

Disgusting behaviour. The parents, teachers, heads of staff and board should be ashamed at what they’ve created. Racist, ill-mannered trash. The smirking fool in the red hat has a big future of doing nothing of value with his life. VaticanNews Racists

stop with the Racist support. This wasn’t an “exchange” it was a Racist CovCathColonels student following their Racist curriculum.

It’s disgusting and so incredibly saddening. Although it wasn’t on school grounds the school should intervene on these kids thought processes in a very impactful way. Include the entire school. This behaviour is more than unacceptable.

Oh, those good Christians, how they raise their kids right 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Catholic + Kentucky + MAGA hats That’s no “work of god” they’re teaching Awful

A school for low lives.

I'm so sick of the racism in not-U.S. I'm so sick of schools empowering racism. I'm so sick of companies allowing racism through their silence. I'm so sick of Trump's hatred & divisiveness. I'm so sick parents & Repub leaders teaching kids hatred, sexism & racism. FightRacism

Pepperidge farm remembers.....

That implies there was a disagreement, when the indigenous marchers were surrounded and harassed. Rethink this.

What it showed was a bunch of racist teenagers surrounding and harassing a small group of Native Americans whom they thought were immigrants. They were screaming to build the wall. The irony is staggering.

'exchange' the lengths yall go to protect racists is ridiculous. We see you

You spelled “Men” wrong

These Yong people should send to WH help there gang leader Trump.

NotOnMyWatch83 All on the day after Pontifex starts prayer week and unity in the Vatican.

This is not a PR problem, covingtoncatholic FrJacobStraub This is something the Pontifex should be stopping. You are teaching young Nazis.

Exchange There was clear racism on one side and dignity on the other. Call it for what it was.... racist kids doing racist things.

“Tense exchange“? , had it existed during the CivilRightsEra: “Deep South eateries are facing scrutiny after tense exchanges between black diners and morally neutral groups of white folk”

This footage is hideous !!!!

Exchange? That was not a fucking exchange. It was a racist, harassing, and disgusting mob aggression!

Two strikes against those students . . . They were homegrown in Trump country and educated by a monolithic educational organization. . . Neither of which have taught them the meaning of the golden rule or how to live in a civilized society. LordOfTheFlies

Bad optics for Catholic schools!

typically Catholic

This goes back to the parents. Respect is learned at home. If your kid is a little ass h*le it's your fault.

Where was the adult supervision? Never mind...

Appalling behaviour from them.

Here's the full video. Show me where they were chanting build the wall. This is shameful reporting.

It wasn't a 'tense exchange' - it was a one-sided bullying mob harassing a peaceful veteran.

That's a hate crime. That kid and his buddies laughing in the background need to be arrested and forced to do community service at a native american community center.

Seriously, is the backlash the most important part of this story?

*walks into store* I'd like to exchange this f- Hold up. What'd you just say to me? Uh, I'd like to exc- Hold it the f*% UP! *confusion* So let me get this S.T.R.A.I.G.H.T. *😐* You want to Exchange, with Me, right Now, in this Store?! ... yes? *slowly sliding a shirt over* Ok.

What 'exchange?' All I saw was a group of entitled white boys verbally assaulting a peaceful gathering of Native Americans. CovingtonCatholicHighSchool

Am I missing something? It looks like there was a group of kids standing around watching native Americans singing and hitting drums. I hate high school kids and being from the south they probably can’t read, but I’m not sure what ppl are pissed about. I just watched for a sec tho

As a Traditionalist Catholic I condemn these lowlife juvenile scum. They represent the antithesis of Catholic teaching. The same Catholic Church that has been the defender of natives in the Americas and condemned the enslaving of natives condemns these garbage pale kids.

What are you going to do? Punish them for behaving like their parents taught them to? Racism is taught at home. Where do you think they got those MAGA hats from?

What a bunch of spoiled brats. I find it disturbing that they would treat any human this way. Sir I am sorry you were treated this way Please do not make this about the MAGA hat. That punk probably wore it for a staged event by some sick News reporter.Crazy.

I get it let’s make something up and blame it on Trump. Nothing more then kids being kids.

DStewart541 But they were there to march because they value life. Remarkable hypocrisy.

Not just the HS, but March_for_Life themselves

This is disgusting behavior. As a Catholic, I am appalled. I hope those boys are expelled. The fact that their parents are making excuses for their conduct is sickening.

Norse_Berserker Disgusting behavior. They should be suspended and required to educate themselves about their neighboring indigenous people. For a grade.

Yuge shocker they’re from Kentucky.

Proven fakenews

Bet the Native American wasn't beating his drum calling those kids illegals. But what would they know? This young generation is a push over gen.

Um. What? !?!?!?! There was no exchange. No confrontation. It’s a group of ignorant kids surrounding a brown Native American and chanting ‘build the wall’. Because, of course, the racism they were taught and have gotten away with their whole lives. BOTH ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE!

They learned that foolishness from their parents

When that many students are involved, the behavior is part of their *everyday culture.' The school should be investigated to determine the sources of the cultural infection. The students should be expelled immediately and the faculty/administration involved, fired.

These rotten kids should have been aborted

Looks like a bunch of kids being kids to me.

Antifa needs to be shunned similarly

They be good Christian boys 🙄 HYPOCRITES!

, why didn’t you use the headline for the article for the Twitter headline? Where is the “tense exchange?” I see racist taunting and harassment against the peacefully marching Native elder by the group of white boys. dobetter

They should be expelled or become interns for trump

Sadly... these kids learned this behavior... either implicitly or explicitly... from someone. Kids aren’t born with hate. Where the heck were their adult chaperones? Did they watch as their wards brought shame to the school?

Good. Little shits deserve a backlash.

Pontifex what you think about this?

Fake News! I saw the video they did nothing wrong

I guess they didn't see the Gillette commercial. Dumb High schoolers.

Um, there was no 'exchange.' An unruly mob of immature boys surrounded and harrassed a Native American elder and others who did nothing but stand there and continue to peacefully perform under unconsciounable conditions.

Not a single ounce of character in the entire group. How could any school produce so many shitty human beings?

Funny how y’all are wrong again, this old guy approached them.

They were wrong but I don’t see that it was racist. The Native gentleman was there to be an intentional agitator, protesting the border wall and other conservative interests. I think the scene was caused by political divisions, not race.

Being Catholic I'm outraged at the complete disregard for this behavior by the School!! Hopefully the School was already taking action BEFORE this disgrace was brought to their ATTENTION!!

Goes back to the parents. Respect us learned at home from the parents.

Tense exchange?!!! Or did a bunch of lil racists in MAGA hats aka The Hatewear Collection, try to intimidate an Indigenous Elder singing peacefully in public and record it? Maybe watch the vid and Then write the article.

Tense “exchange” Wtf kind of headline is this? What was exchanged. Those kids harassed those people.

So a lib has never screamed in the face of a person wearing a MAGA hat?

Time for a correction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the kind of stuff they learned at home. Just like McConnell and Paul.

Does anyone else see the irony that these high school students were there to participate in the “March for Life”? I guess the concern of these boys only applies to those who haven’t yet been born...or it was just a way to take a group trip with friends. Probably the latter.

I hope they don't put this on their calendar for future Supreme Court appointments. Just boys being boys.

School administrators need fired! Kids in involved expelled. Diocese needs to find out why these kids were wearing maga hats! Partisan politics are not allowed in Catholic mass or school.

Share your thoughts with His Holiness. Very sad to see this. Pontifex

Swift justice please!

Hope they get kick out of school

Exchange? Wow.

There was no exchange. There was smirking, taunting, and racism. But exchange? Nope

America2019 Disgraceful.

ThisIsAmerica

There's always those douchey kids who think they're so fucking cool.

Blatant racism? I saw just a kid stand in front of a guy beating a drum . Was there a racial verbal exchange that I missed ?

There was no exchange. This group of students enveloped and taunted a peaceful elder. Do better

Good.

Grrr... little brats

Good. Shame on them.

nevermore_007 That school needs to be in touch with what these kids are learning and how they are interacting with parents.

1. A group of brats don’t represent the MAGA movement. 2. It was disrespectful, they’re losers. 3. No one got hurt. Let’s move on.

Honestly, did the absolute beta-males who harassed this guy not expect to get any backlash?

Is this an example of the people where senatemajldr comes from❓

You don’t even know what happened. FakeNews

Expulsion isn’t good enough.

This kind of behavior unacceptable and negates human values

The worst articles start with the word 'catholic' and the best starts with 'a Florida man' prove me fucking wrong

Dantromp_ Good , because if that young man had done that anywhere else ( he would have been punched and deservedly so) 😞 Very intimidating!

A group of young horrible MAGA thugs

what’s the boys address? just wanna talk to him :)

Yep, there’s more of those religious types on the right. Disgusting group.

Yet Antifa can assault war vets and no one bats an eye.....

This is just sick. Where is the humanity? You can’t spell humanity without human, but I don’t see any here.

It wasn’t an “exchange”.

Close the school!!!

So when Libs harass people in MAGA hats they are seen as the good guys but when its the opposite, it's bad. Nice moral compass Libs

DStewart541

Report it correctly, it wasn't an exchange, it was harassment by one group upon another

I think a mission trip to the Standing Rock or any reservation would be suitable penance for these young people.

“Covington Catholic student bothering elder man” yet here is evidence of the man approaching them during their school cheer not disturbing anyone. Doesn’t make sense

Private all male Catholic high schools are breeding grounds for boys like this. The one in Columbus collectively stood at a Soccer game yelling 'pussy pussy pussy' after the Trump tape was revealed. The principal was standing in front of them and did nothing.

Kids from ocsaces apparently involved, too.

You would think they came from the racism school

All those teens need suspensions and community service.

Yep. That’s the America of POTUS realDonaldTrump

The school should take appropriate action...not necessarily through punishment...but by guidance.

All they’re missing is white hoods and burning crosses. So proud of themselves. Donald Trump’s time in the spotlight is truly a cancer. It will take decades to heal America.

Good!

These kids needs to be expelled. They are a disgrace.

I hope so. This was sickening.

This is NOT an exchange. This is a video of one sided harassment and hate. Extremely misleading tweet. Shame on you. DO BETTER!

I can’t ever imagine having that happen in NZ w/ school kids disrespecting our Maori elders like that! Fuck me, the beatings those kids will get!!

Is this what it means to be a good Catholic?

Just shows the mentality of these “children” and the mentality of the parents that raised them with not respect and the teachers that taught them how not to respect , that’s just Pure Hate & Racism oh ya that’s what USA is founded on 4got 🤨

It wasn’t an exchange. Come on.

I just hope someone gets it on video📸

supmikeclines what are you going to do about this?

Wow sounds like a great school. Ugh.

AnnCoulter TuckerCarlson seanhannity RepJohnKatko POTUS aren't you so proud?

No clearer proof that MAGA is synonymous with 'make America White (supremacist) Again.'

'A tense exchange'? You mean, racist students heckle peaceful indigenous man. There is no 'both sides' to this, this is not 'tension' bt both sides. This is a group of racists berating a peaceful marcher with racist language they've lifted straight from their president.

I'd sweep Kentucky for any pedophile priests - but wheresmitch ? SenMajLdr AMDG

Hundreds were f thousands gathered for r a cause but THIS is all you reported on. Yet today, you posted 12 tweets abt the nasty girls march. THIS is why the media is hated.

Religion is nothing more than an alternative opiate for those foolish enough to believe

An exchange?

jwhoopes2 And this explains how senatemajldr is re-elected over and over to represent Kentucky.

We was also a Vietnam Vet!!! Why aren’t you saying that in your headline!!?

“Apologies” sent after being exposed as racists, “Thoughts and Prayers” sent after senseless violence. Nothing changes. It’ll all start over again tomorrow.

Catholisism fail

usbank

Kentucky, Educate your youngsters!!

Tense exchange?

Tense exchange is the language you’re going with okay

Expel the the silly ass.

This was not a “tense exchange.” This was a mob of privileged white boys surrounding an elder Native American man & veteran. There was NO EXCHANGE - it was mob behavior & intimidation. Call it what it is & STOP giving those little pukes a pass. ShameOn CovingtonCatholicBullies

They’re just demonstrating the type of disrespectful and obnoxious behavior the Jerk-In-Chief realDonaldTrump exhibits on an hourly basis. He’s an utterly horrible, disgusting, revolting, distasteful example of what a role model for young “men” should be.

So he’s a Christian?

Expel CovCathColonels

Fucking gross. Both these audaciously rude children, and the fact usatoday considers this an 'exchange'.

Just watched the entire video. Maybe you should fact check it or are you associated with buzzfeed 🙄

EXCHANGE FIX IT NOW!!!!!!!

sameshitdifferentday

“Religion poisons everything”

How proud their parents must be. Oh wait, this type of bigotry is learned in the home. 🤦‍♂️

Am I missing something here The video & article both show : “standing near and staring at a man who is drumming as other young men surrounding them cheer and chant.” You May not like it but I’m not seeing some “horrible “ acts 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can this be confirmed? Century Hodge website mentions Covington and specific projects worked at that location. Also... Eagle Scouts... Wow

FakeNews story . You will never ever report about the attack on the Christian Marchers at the prolife rally. Just Lies from the liberal rag

Disgraceful thisschoolhasfaileditsstudents wwjd

I watched the VIDEO, and these people are from a Catholic! This is really sad, this is happening to people over and over. What kind of home up bringing do they have? Look at the president, he encourages all of this hateful, mean, low-down, racist, hurtful doing! take action!!

Kids are a reflection of what they learn home, what a shame that instead of teaching kids moral values they’re teaching them to hate smh

What do you expect from the people that elected Mitch McConnell?

CovCathColonels is raising a generation of entitled, ignorant, drunk frat boys who care about nothing and no one but themselves. Where's the empathy and love for others? Pontifex USCCB catholic CatholicNewsSvc CCharitiesUSA

This behavior has been applauded before obviously. None of the others seem to be bothered by him acting as such sadly. Culture diversity classes are needed in this country soooo bad. We have turned the clock back too many years to count by our behavior.

I don’t understand what the point of this was? Why were they being assholes?

men? naw

I hope the Diocese does a better job of looking into this than the Catholic Church has concerning pedophile priests.

Hope they do more than look into it!!!

They should face it along with this kids parents.

I wonder how many kids at their school have felt the wrath of these kids? BeBest I think it’s not working.

BACKLASH EARNED AND DESERVED!

Very sad.. It's a same someone is teaching these kids to Hate!! I didn't know the church thinks that ok!? All thoes boys need to learn respect! Back in the day they would of got there asses beat.

You mean after a video of a mob of young men trying to intimidate and bully indigenous marchers. Correct?

Thugs 😉

Very liberal interpretation of the word “Exchange”, seems like one group being completely ignorant and out of line and once again one group being the only one who should ACTUALLY be there 🤷🏾‍♂️

Rude little people that have no respect for others including Native Americans...real Americans..

Typical of the “religious right”. They get everything so wrong

Is this Good Catholic behavior? Horrific!!!

Close it down. Shame on you

This kids go to catholic school? Parents are wasting their money... School is also doing a very poor job of teaching right from wrong.. In public school, we start that in kindergarten...

They are need to go down... the school is not innocent either

Sound like some Catholics

Why are people trying to make something out of nothing. This goes for you

Let's hope the Papacy steps in and closes this school. Everyone should also take note of these monsters faces. Some might learn from this but most will probably grow to be even more full of hate and intolerance when they get older.

Here’s a tip for supmikeclines along with those who direct ocsaces and CovCathColonels: Add this to your curriculum, be better.

Good 👏👏👍👍

Gallegoscot That was NOT an exchange. The war hero was harassed by a group of ignorant children who should be ashamed of themselves. It’s disgusting.

I hope no university ever enrolls them.

Hoodlums.

Obviously, they are not marching for the life of this real living, breathing, man. That's because they don't give a shit about protecting life. They are pro-birth and want to deny women their reproductive rights.

Giving Catholics a bad name.

Follow the example set by these young men. Proud 1984 graduate.

Disgusting behavior ! I suppose they can go to confession on Sunday and be forgiven .

This is an exchange. You did something, I replied back. What you see in the video is called harassment.

Sickening!

Shameful behavior

Where, in God’s name, were the school chaperones? Appalling in every respect.

Catholics, when boys are molested starting at age 7, your gonna have a few grow up to be jerks

'Exchange'? Yeahhhh, no. Rephrase. Cov

They're not going to shit about that the shameful part.

They had hats that said make America great again mocking native AMERICANS. Irony is dead. These kids are going to grow up to be bad people.

Hope it does. Unacceptable.

What's going on? Another Islamic high school in Kentucky is facing backlash after a video showed a tense exchange between indigenous marchers and a group of young 'women' in D.C.😎

Fixing your substandard summary: '... a group of young men WEARING MAGA HATS.'

It is Kentucky after all

This is what elects a Rand Paul and a Mitch McConnell. Kentucky

The douchbaggery of conservatives combined with the douchbaggery of high school kids. What could go wrong?

Exchange? This was a mobbing and borderline assault. There was no exchange happening, merely aggressors and a victim. If you were mugged would you report a “monetary redistribution discussion” to the police?

it wasn’t an exchange, genius

The exchange was they mocked him and he gave them a picture of what quiet dignity looks like.

Shame on those young people, and those responsible for their upbringing and discipline.

“Exchange” indicates that there was interaction and engagement on both sides. This is demonstrably not the case. Please don’t “both-sides” this awful incident.

Exchange that’s an interesting description & pretty darn misleading.

EXCHANGE

Have you ever witnessed anyone in a MAGA hat doing anything humane, kind, or good?
