The Crime of Being Christian, White, Male, and Pro-life, and Wearing MAGA Hats
It’s certainly not surprising that people who’d kill the young in the womb would kill them in the media — especially when political dissent can be killed in the process. But this is precisely what happened when video emerged of the January 18 schoolboys-and-Indians affair at the Lincoln Memorial.
The students, who’d attended this year’s March for Life, never suspected the event would change their whole lives, that agitators on site and in media would viciously portray them as the very face of hate.
But the boys from Covington Catholic High School (CCHS) in Park Hills, Kentucky, had to face the hate. A 60-second, out-of-context video hit the news January 19, showing a grinning, MAGA-hatted, 16-year-old Nick Sandmann face-to-face with drum-beating Omaha tribal “elder” Nathan Phillips while a throng of the student’s uproarious classmates stood around them. Phillips, billed as a “Vietnam veteran,” later said that the boys surrounded him, Sandmann prevented his egress, and he feared for his safety. Phillips also claimed he heard the students saying “build the wall, build that wall!”
