maggieNYT What's happening? I want to cry. Where have all the patriotic American's gone? I've had relatives in every American war since the Revolution. My daughter is now a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force, What has my family's sacrifice been for

If they had been under control and respectful they would not have acted that way. They acted just like the GOP bigots that their parents.

Man Trump ain't helping

maggieNYT Please don’t lump these KMHS students in with the MAGA hat wearing kids. These kids would’ve stepped aside.

Hardly the case!

No.

Trump defends racists once again.

His response is not a surprise.

Truth!

CovingtonShame CovingtonCatholicHighSchool the reputation of your students, administrators and parents is ruined. Catholic High Schools all over the country are cringing.

I believe the president * attends mass every morning. He tweets shits from the confessional. TrumpShutdown ImpeachTheMF

Trump doesn’t have any respect for the first Americans, the Indians

maggieNYT This was a stunt

WELL COVINGTON CATHOLIC WILL NOW, RIGHTFULLY, ALWAYS BE ASSOCIATED WITH TRUMP. GOOD JOB DIOCESE OF COVINGTON; YOU HAVE JUST DEFINED CATHOLICISM AS AN ARM OF TRUMPS PROPAGANDA MACHINE

And yet again he misses the point.

Mr. President, it was June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan stood in West Berlin and stated, “Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.” Today, I ask you Mr. President tear down this wall. The wall of hatred, racism, no transparency, mistrust, disgust, and no government closed.

maggieNYT Of course. The Orange guy stands with the white guy.

Frankly I don't care what Trump thinks or says.

Of course he’d support the group harassment of people he considers non white Americans.

TRUMP IS THE EVIL MONSTER ALONG WITH THE MAGA JERKS.

Phony trump and fraudulent administration

Of course he did😒

Trump correct.

POTUS was proven right

Democrats are Fascists

Of course he did

What makes me saddest is how many racist people claim to be Christian. Jesus taught the complete opposite

- how about telling the story that has come out since in the form of additional videos? You are so damn partisan.

maggieNYT Please explain how that was the wrong thing to do in any way? These kids were mobbed by wealthy, powerful adults in the media screaming privilege from their ivory tower with their ivy league degrees

Yup starting in on the Catholics again those buzzfeed bastards.

Funny that there is no doubt on Trump’s absolute siding with the Catholic students... instead of condemning all hatred, racism, bullying

He is and was right.

He is showing his support for his own.

Future trumpeteers

Media is out of control far left political activism, have not trust from the public.

Truth

There from Kentucky. What does he expect.

How many sex scandals in the Catholic Church have been exposed? Are they deflecting the news coverage?

Similar group he praised.

Absolutely irrefutable!

Trump is right on this one!

No surprise🙄

Trump is right.

The media and the sky is falling liberals owe those kids an apology

Yes, because unlike the NPC's out there who follow momentarily when their god media tells them, us like at infowars research things. If you watched the entire video, the provoked the kids, the black racist screaming shit, yet the agenda was to make Trump followers racist again.

Go out and shout what you believe, we still living in a free country, don’t be afraid.

He is 100% correct as any reasonable review of ALL video will lead any reasonable person to see

Of coarse he did....🤮🤮🤮

maggieNYT There is was nothing controversial... The Covington Boys were verbally attacked by Gay Hating Black Hate Group.

He's right you know...

maggieNYT Hmmm...another “Pro-Life” march photo with nothing but males.

kimvalles4 Fine entitled white boys saying what they know they can and when said female enjoying rape becomes pregnant they will also believe their religious right to make decisions about her body. It's always about control👏

We won’t back down

God help us all🙏

maggieNYT Of course those evil racist students are his supporters

realDonaldTrump was right. I'm glad he defended these boys who are now the subject of death threats.

These students are another example of a mindless cult following. March and chant for 'pro-life' yet not respectful of life they don't like, approve of, understand.

maggieNYT Of course he did. Did you really expect anything less. Next he is going to invite them where all those statues of Robert E Lee are stored for a hamberder fest

Old Racist protecting up & coming Racist. Making America Hate Again. Didn’t know we missed it.

FieldRoamer For once Trump stands up against evil. Don’t worry, he’ll forget all about it soon.

Those students WERE mocking him; videos show that. These are not waifs; they are privileged young men secure in their arrogance.

Bigots and racists like to protect their own.

Hopefully this kid sues the SHIT out of everyone one of you criminal media company's that illegally slandered he and his friends

maggieNYT Would he say that if they had TRE45ON on their hats?

Except if they were black and the situation reversed he would attack them and demand they be locked up

maggieNYT Interesting that he was able to find time to comment on this but had nothing to say about the WhiteSupremacy advocacy of GOP Rep. SteveKing. At least in Charlottesville he said there were fine people on both sides. Now he apparently thinks there are fine people only on one

POTU is right.

Evil are the ones who are wearing the equivalent of the kkk white hoods the maga hats

I would love to see one of these punks sniveling and crying when they get a girl pregnant and want an abortion, an abortion for themselves, not for her. I think trump will be sniveling soon when Cohen tells us how many abortions he arranged for trump. Too many know of this in NYC

This biased prez needs to keep his huge mouth shut! Attempting to influence social media, opinions and law and order is not part of his job!

Hmmmm... somebody smeared shit all over and now the WHITEWASHING BEGINS

I really hope not but it certainly seems that way for a long time, as many many people have been a Victim of the Press. The press is not an institution or an estate. They are a business being run by business people, and their interests are business interests. News is a product.

Trump is right, the coverage was TOTALLY biased and dishonest.

Ridiculous seeing so many young ppl marching for 'life' when none of them has yet to live it, gotten pregnant or worked to support a Baby, pay rent and child care or bills....😂😂😂😂

maggieNYT Trump and the priest who runs the school are kindered spirits. Racists and pedophiles. One Native American with a drum takes down 100 of America’s finest trumpettes. America, you got problems. BTW, evangelicals hate Catholics.

And he is correct. Not to mention slanted reporting, right politico?

Media never tells the whole story but only what meets their narratives and that’s what makes the media the enemy of America! No journalism just tabloid propaganda reading material!!

maggieNYT Hmmmm .... if these were Black students harassing the white students, trump would be calling for lynchings

Let’s be fair and balanced ... shall we?

'Victims of the media', said the Gaslightingmeinster in Chief. But judge for yourself, take a look.

right before indecent...same boys

None of this is true.

Were these the black face kids also

This whole episode is a good lesson in avoiding a rush to judgement, being respectful and skeptical, and vigilant against attempts to manipulate, good lessons for all of us.

In Trump's world, you're either a target or tool. Like with Charlottesville the tool here is not so much the Catholic school students themselves but what they represent as a tool to communicate support to a base element of his party.

you are, because of your toxic 'journalism'

IStandWithCovingtonCatholic IStandWithNickSandmann StandWithCovington CovingtonCatholic

He’s right

GO WATCH THE 2 HOUR, MINUTE BY MINUTE ACCOUNT. . .THE KIDS WERE THE TOTAL VICTIMS. . .OF THE 4 BLACK PROTESTERS, THE INDIAN, AND WORST OF ALL. . .THE APATHETIC, LAZY. . .BE FIRST, MEDIA WHO EDITED THE 2 HOURS DOWN TO A FEW SECONDS AND SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE!!!

maggieNYT Course he did. He’ll back anyone who’ll support him. But conveniently their outlooks also align.

Of course he did ! They learned well from HIM to Blame OTHERS!! No matter what was done TO them they had NO right to harass a Native American Veteran .This COULD have been a teaching moment but Mom instead chose to groom him for being either a Sociopath or an Entitled Narcissist

maggieNYT Sure - anything to attack his main source of accountability. Disregard. realDonaldTrump GOP VP LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr

Oh good grief. Look for any excuse to label the news media as 'evil', when what they are doing is reporting. I'm sure there were very fine people on both sides.

maggieNYT There is a second disgusting video of the same Catholic school: Pontifex look what those people are doing to Catholicism!

Trump wouldn't be in the least bothered by the kid who shouted to a woman, on video, 'It's not rape if you enjoy it.'

Yeah right. Hey realDonaldTrump the news media is only evil to you and your ridiculous ignorant racist followers because of your actions. Maybe if you and your deplorables wouldn't be jackasses you would be treated better by the media & every one else. But that's asking too much

Is “still” accusing the teens that they instigated tye incident? tye students are only “embroiled” sole because they media gave a false narrative.

As they weigh in on political issues freely

maggieNYT THE NEWS MEDIA IS EVIL AND THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!!! RIPJournalism!!

It is loooooooong past time for religious based private school to pay taxes...

maggieNYT That didn’t take long. WhiteSupremacy disguised as WhiteVictimhood

Are we shocked? Trump breeds hate and division. It’s kind of his thing.

Of course Trump would support future 'pussy-grabbers'. It's what men like him and Brett Kavanaugh would do. They see themselves in these young punks. Most the pot-faced kids have not had sex, yet they support pro-life. They'll think differently once the hospital bills roll in.

Because realDonaldTrump has not grown a reputation for TRUTH in his presidency or prior business life, it's difficult for Am. people to view him as a character witness. I'm not assigning innocence or guilt here, but not sure HIS statement is good for CovCath. and may backfire.

If they were wearing hats supporting anything Democratic, they would have been tossed in with the dangerous caravan and immigration law breakers.

TRUMP WAS RIGHT --AGAIN

When instead of defending them he should have defended common decency while taking responsibility for the kids wearing HIS CAP.

Of course he’s supporting them aren’t they wearing HIS HATS(MAGA)! Why would they wear his signature hats if they weren’t Trump Supporters?!

maggieNYT From a President who selectively vilifies immigrants while ignoring home grown criminals.

Democrats are prolife Don't let RepubliCONs always set the narrative. They are pro-fetus and anti- all other forms of life.

Of course, they were wearing Make America Gag Again hats.

Its just like trump to back a school /church full of rapos and child abusers because he is a rapo himself amd what happened to all the whores that came out against him did he pay them off to

Oranges 🍊 Basterd always in the wrong side of every issue

Yeah that's a shock!

He is right as usual! WeStandWithTrump WeStandForTheFlag WeStandTogather WeStandWithCovington MAGA

Students who hired Mitch McConnell's Kentucky PR firm to spin this and gaslight everyone.

And what did he say to this?

President Trump is right! The anti-Trump media propaganda has been horrendous since 2015! Most media is left-wing propaganda--truly the ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE--ENEMIES OF A FREE AMERICA!

Of course he did. What else is he going to do today; open the government? Didn't think so. His time is always better served issuing symbolic middle fingers.

True!!

trump is always ready to uphold anything that puts the media in a bad light. He always wants to show how the media is wrong and on a witch-hunt. We know your games, you dark triad, you. ImpeachTrump

maggieNYT The hats are their flag. Their behaviors are their culture.

Well, he does likes to protect the worst among us.

maggieNYT Donald Trump is a disaster, he does nothing but create division and hatred in this country. I hope people are finally beginning to get the picture

He has been consistent in defense of the Worst of US.

Thank God that realDonaldTrump is in office. Think what we would've become if he wasn't? It would be a slow boil to a borderless, socialistic America. God help us. WalkAwayFromDemocrats

I'm pro-life and pro-choice. I accept my church's position on when life begins. I also accept ROE v Wade on women's rights. In a democracy, church and state are separate. We all should be working to make abortion available, safe and rare. Education is key; MAGA is the opposite.

He's not really a true president so there is that.....

That is gross. Their own diocese called them out.

True story. As the info unfolds. It appears it was a staged attack against the cov youth, singled out for wearing maga hats. Nathan Phillips was used as the agitator. Also Nathan's service record doesn't match up with his age for serving in Vietnam. Conclusion: d.s. failure

maggieNYT Garbage in, garbage out.

maggieNYT Kavanaugh 2.0

It was.

The left walked into this trap by hyperventilating over a minor event. No matter whether you think the kids were rude or just fooling around, they did nothing to warrant the attacks from progressives. They did not even utter one swear let alone make menacing aggressive gestures.

Well, I hope the media show more of this disrespect that is coming from our own citizens against other individuals NOT LIKE THEM! Its all about respecting one another and its hard to do in this country with kids showing their biases and stupidity on tv SHOW RESPECT TO EACH OTHER

maggieNYT Video doesn’t lie. These kids got caught being racist jerks with their maggot hats on

He is correct again

And? Journalism is dead

maggieNYT In other predictable news... the sun came up today.

maggieNYT Very fine people. Both sides. Maybe they'll grow up to be Nazis who kill people at rallies.

Charlottesville? Was that evil

maggieNYT Literally just did the same thing as Charlottesville 🤦‍♀️ Garbage president

maggieNYT Was it the hats

maggieNYT All a distraction from this awful bill he and senatemajldr are putting forward

maggieNYT Covington kids wear blackface to intimidate visiting players:

They could have done anything and he would have supported them. He saw their MAGA hats and made his decision.

It is. Does it make you feel like big wigs to cause harm to children, politico? Death threats? Closing a school for fear? How would you feel if it were your children or grandchildren? You didn't think, did you? TDS is real and alive. You're the new Jim Jones .

So Trump’s using the latest plight of the Redhats to further his fascist persecution of the free press...

maggieNYT True!

maggieNYT And he is right on this point

maggieNYT He would.

Of course he did. They were wearing MAGA hats. Did you think he was going to stand up for the Native American Viet Nam veteran. It's pure Trump. WorstPresidentEver 25thAmendmentNow

You know who else called the press evil? Hitler. Did Obama, Bush, Reagan, Carter.....?

maggieNYT Correct... and ?

Covington school kids to Donald Trump: Don't help us! For God's sake, DON'T HELP US!

Yep, Leftist activism! He’s right!

Pretty hard to not own this!

He's not wrong.

And President Trump would be correct. Every unrepentant journalist, media outlet, political activist and stooge who published, shared or otherwise instigated this confrontation deserves severe punishment. Since we live in a civilized society, defamation lawsuits should suffice.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 you mean the Dumpster evil!!!! IndictTheMF

FakeNews That's because the media is openly lying about what happened. You are no exception.

The only comparison to the USA LEFTIST media would be Joseph Goebbels 1930s Deutschland Propaganda Ministry... Both have one thing in common... overthrow

I expect nothing less.

The media is evil and need to be dismantled

Fact check = 100% true. Trump is completely right on this. The fake news media is the enemy of the American people. And what happened to those convington kids is exhibit A.

There is absolutely nothing 'controversial' about the video. The only 'controversy' is the complete & utter dishonesty from so-called 'news' outlets -- like you, Politico.

It's just FACTS!!!

I like how you put evil in quotes as if he wasn't 100% right

I agree with Trump! 👍🏼

Who would you vote for?
