He’s right, how many people wouldn’t react if someone walked up to them and started banging a drum inches from their face, I think he showed restraint.

Because he wasn’t raised to know what respect looks like

I bet He also likes beers.

Too much publicity

That’s because nobody taught him what respect is.

He doesn’t media disgraceful liars

That’s right he doesn’t have anything to apologize for.

He is 100% correct 🇺🇸

... Do LAT realizes that media is involved into bullying kids for a different beliefs system then those on their agenda? 2) Do LAT takes into account that Native Am man misrepresented his past and not in a position to asses the present objectively due to his biases?

Move the school from the Red KY (the🐢)State to a blue State. My roommate works in a Catholic Private school in a Blue State. This behavior would never have been accepted. TheLordOfTheFliesGenerations need to be exposed

green light means go.

He was there just to help take away women’s reproductive rights, that are protected by a Supreme Court decision.

Fringe dredges will destroy kids from the womb through adolescence

When an old person walks slowly in your direction and wants to keep going, you step aside. Anything else is rude. Now if you add his stupid bragging smile and the disgusting comments from the rest of his herd, you get a lot more than rude. Is he learning anything at Covington HS?

Therein lies the problem. Their ignorance makes them unaware this is the definition of disrespect.

good for him..

He’s right. You actually should be apologizing for running with yet another complete falsehood you preaches fact. suckeronly

And the end of the day, each has their first amendment right, regardless of what you think is “right” everyone has a right to their 1st amendment.

Libel suits are coming shortly. “Vietnam Times Veteran” what a joke.

And all who are defending this or claiming there’s “another narrative”. You’re in complete denial because you’re too scared to admit the hatred in your own heart and what Trump has turned this country into. Their’s no excuse for these students behavior or those who allow it.

Anyone who disagrees with this kid, is ignorant of what actually took place. I suggest you folks watch the entire video...the kids were actually sticking up for the Native Americans, in response to the Black Hebrew Israelites goung after the Native Americans.

The Indian guy should apologize for banging a drum inches from that kids face.

Why is the Liberal Fake News media not asking the Black Hebrew Israelite's to apologize? They and Fake News put this lie together. It’s called Minority Privilege and it has dominated our culture for decades.

Straight out of the Republican handbook!! Never apologize cuzz it's someone else's fault and adhere to the 11th Commandment 'thou shalt lie with a straight face' RepublicanHypocrisy CovingtonShame

Crazy Racist in Chief, Kavanaugh and now this little guy are following the same rule “Never apologize”.

I’m dying at the replies. Did you guys even watch the entire video? Not the edited 20 second clip? Watch the whole thing, a lot of people ate crow.

He had no choice. The right-wing playbook clearly states: Whenever we get caught being (pick one, or any combination thereof) racist, misogynistic, spineless, hypocritical, treasonous, disengenuous (ie., lying), or otherwise despicable: deny, justify, claim to be victim, repeat.

Maybe the school should apologize, bring a herd of MAGA hat wearing white boys to an Indiginous People’s March, letting them engage with crazy’s on the streets as a large out of control group, and then doing the tomahawk chop to NativeAmericans trying to stop the escalation.

'They' never do, 🙄.

He's right.

and gets invited to White House to discuss how great their whiteness are! Enjoy the White *bleep* party!

He was just saying a 'silent prayer' during all that smirking. What a shit.

Everyone can be having a good time until that one white person or in this case an entire school of white people fuck it up for everyone, this is there culture taught by there racist parents, speaking of parents where are adults who are supposed to be watching these kids?

Why would anyone think some rich kid going to a prep school, having been told all his life he's special and that he's the master race think he's going to apologize? The whole 'interview' was set up to normalize him while showing that privilege and white supremacy

Looking someone dead in their eye with a smirk on your face for 2 mins is disrespectful.

TrumpLies have been his education

For the full story visit

These young men need to stay strong and sue

No respect!! No morals,

This is the wild west all over again minus the violence. This is so ridiculous and it’s all because of that fucking hat. Get over kid! his blood is all over this land, yours was shipped here

Ask Nick if he and his group would behave this way in front of any priest raising his hands and singing part of a mass.

I’m wondering if that had been a Catholic priest instead of a Native American elder, would he have reacted the same way?

The hole is getting deeper, keep digging!

Strangely in the legacy media has yet to apologize for pushing another lie

Maybe the kid should be thankful it was an old man and not someone who would have 'removed' him from their face.

And where were the chaperones with all this? As a chaperone, if you saw an incident escalating to this level, wouldn’t you step in to protect the kids and de-escalate it? Just because it’s your right… Doesn’t make it right...

I've taught high school for twenty years and seen the look on Nick Sandmann's face a hundred times if I've seen it once. It's called 'entitlement'.

2. It was the Black Hebrew Israelites that yelled, “Build the wall” behind Phillips as he was walking towards the Covington kids. It’s on tape! The BHI’s were trying to stir trouble & it worked. Why can’t the media do some real research & find the truth? Answer?They don’t want to

NBCNews promoting Nazism.

its kinda refreshing having someone not apologize. i think this kid is on to something. besides, what will apologizing do?

Entitlement has its benefits.

Kids are now a day doesn't learn any respect. The parents of this Covington High School student are the one to be blamed. Shame on you parents for not teaching your kids respect.

Furthermore, treaties and monies still owed for the ENTIRE Sacred Blackhills or for that matter the whole of the Dakota's is a disgrace and wouldnt be tolerated by any other race of people. Even the 'German Holocaust' doesnt compare to the atrocities against Native Indians.

why is everybody looking for something to be offended by

1. Go to The Blaze Facebook page and scroll down to around a 4pm entry. The Blaze researched every stitch of video before & after the Covington kids showed up. The Black Hebrew Israelites verbally attacked the native Americans &then later moved on to the Covington kids.

Smug bullies emboldened by our disgraceful orange leader.

Most people still treat Native Indians as tourist attractions, openly deny them services, profile, and discriminate against them with no thought of wrongdoing. Theyre still on reservations and oppressed with little or no help with alcohol addiction which has ravaged the people.

Entitled little _______.

So sad. They aren't going to learn from this. They're going to grow up to be those people who never grow up.

Exactly right.

Nick is a member of an immigrant family who harrassed a Native American. Show some respect and apologise for the atrocities committed against the Original Americans. You are just the offspring of a cockroach that jumped off a ship.

Have you even watched the video that shows black activist hurling non stop horrendous racial slurs at this group of kids that ignited all of this What is wrong with you people!!!!

And why did he look Nathan Phillips staight in the face with a smirk? No clearer sign of mocking to me.

Here she said it better:

Why the hell are we even giving this kid a voice. He wore a MAGA hat to incite, and an incident occurred. I don't care what he has to say.

A lot of moronic comments here, people that don’t do anything wrong don’t have to apologize. The minor acted more mature than the adult with a drum.

This kid needs walloped

Horse feathers.

That was a robotic PR practiced interview.

The FakeNews MSM, the EnemyOfThePeople, are the ones who need to apologize. For stirring up strife and enmity between the races and classes. You are horrible. Your agenda is clear and obvious to all. WednesdayWisdom

Is it really worth living with an eye in the back of your head? We all understand he's a dumbass child, but where are the parents? It all starts in the home. It's too bad Parenting isn't a licensed job.

Correct

Trump makes this sort of thing acceptable. Watch how many times he calls Elizabeth Warren 'Pocahontas' in upcoming months.

White privilege

... because he’s a sociopath

Good! He didn't do anything wrong. Never apologize to the leftist mob. The media is the one who owes an apology. StandWithCovingtonCatholic FakeNewsMedia

Kavanaugh prepped him well.

Trump taught him right & every adult who interviews, publicizes and continues these conversations from this horrific angle - deserves the world, people like his family and the disgrace of a Republican Party are building.

The chaperones were sent to prevent situations like this from happening. The wearing of MAGA hats is a sure way to create an incendiary situation by making a political point which should affect the schools tax free status. TrumpShutdown

Then someone needs to teach this punk about personal space and negative energy and attitude CovingtonBoys

Bullshit

He should have stayed hidden behind mommy's skirts. That kid's gonna regret his attitude for the rest of his life.

Here are the people who DISRESPECTED THE NATIVE AMERICANS & SHOUTED RACIAL & HOMOPHOBIC SLURS AT A BUNCH OF 15 YEAR OLD KIDS

If this is an example of what MAGA parents are teaching their children someone needs to offer them help with building good moral character.

He cannot be confused with an Eagle Scout

Duh! Phillips & the media owe him & the rest of those boys an apology.

LA Times = 🗑

And it’s not rape if you like it. Eye roll.

No kid talks like this without coaching. Nobody wears that red KKK hat without feeling Superior. As a mother of five, I know BS when I hear it and this kid is lying. SMH

He is correct.

Keep that head on swivel Nicky

The entitled little sht is getting his 15 minutes of fame

HE'S LYING AND A RACIST.

We could light the country with this gaslight.

Man, I wish I'd hired a PR firm when my friends and I got busted for throwing a kegger back in '79.

25 black kids wearing BLM hats surround a White Iraq War veteran and start him down while mocking him. Lets see how well that goes down.

F*ck that kid forever.

How he feelin school rn

And his absolutely correct! It is a disgrace what the leftist media is doing attacking innocent children to further their political agenda.

His vacant empty eyes tell you everything you need to know about the little sociopath.

I see a scripted kid repeating the PR firm he hired talking points. There are consequences for your actions. Not apologizing proves he’s a racist ass! This kids continues to ruin his own dam life for the sake of being noticed! Who would want to hire this weasel?!

Fact check true

I believe tRUmp supporters as much as I believe the pathological liar in the White House, realdonaldtrump

When do Nick and his friends get an apology from the media?

He’s disrespectful for not apologizing! If he were my kid.....

he didn't disrespect .. but why the old man was insist on this kid ?

🙄

Phillips not a Vietnam veteran and may have violated the law by claiming that he was. StolenValor Vietnam Veteran professional Victim

First statement belies the second...

I’m fairly certain that is NOT what Jesus would say.

Punk

Wow. What a huge surprise.

Covington Catholic student in D.C. March video says he does not believe he owes anyone an apologyIn an exclusive interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, Nick Sandmann said he “had every right” to stand in front of Nathan Phillips, but now wishes he and his classmates “would have walked away and avoided the whole thing.” We don't believe you. You are wrong. We won't forgive you. Never. MSNBC is sooo evil. Where were they supposed to walk away to? They were waiting for their bus, surrounded by maniac adults. Black Hebrew Israelites on their right, lunatic Activist Drum Beaters to their left and in their face. Leftists should stay away for kids. Period.
