1/Rand Paul was PA born, TX raised, and groomed to take a Kentuckians job. KY elected Paul to the US Senate in 2011. Before passing a single piece of legislation to benefit Kentuckians, Senator Paul used his position to run for President in 2016. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Kentucky

Teen in Lincoln Memorial protest sues Washington Post for $250 million #Covington reut.rs/2GPsfP3
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Kentucky by Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann, 16, seeks $250 million in damages, the amount that @JeffBezos, founder of Amazon.com and the worldâs richest person, paid for the Post in 2013.
The lawsuit claims that the newspaper âwrongfully targeted and bulliedâ the teen to advance its bias against President Trump because Sandmann is a white Catholic who wore a Make America Great Again souvenir cap on a school field trip to the #MarchforLife rally in D.C.
So, @NYMagâs @nhannahjones (with 100K followers) implies âthe MAGA kidâ was treated with âgraceâ, âbenefit of the doubtâ & ability to be âviewed as a childâ
She actually R/Tâd that #Covington was a case of âwhite supremacyâ
And journalists wonder why theyâre viewed negatively?

The idea of giving both kids (she cites the case of Kalief Browder) the benefit of the doubt, treating them with grace and as kids **regardless of race** doesnât seem to have crossed her mind
Also, spoiler alert: Browder plead guilty to grand larceny. And came from a broken family with no father figure (thanks Dems and welfare state)
He later committed suicide after a lengthy stay in prison after being accused - possibly falsely - of another crime

1) I've tweeted already about why the contrition & apologies towards the #Covington kids is misplaced and wrong. But their Trump-inspired racism & bullying is not new - we've seen this in schools across the country since Trump's emergence in 2015. Here's some evidence:

2) In March 2016, high school basketball fans in Indiana chanted âBuild A Wallâ at their Latino opponents.

3) In April 2016, in Wisconsin, a girls soccer team, a majority of which were black and Latina, were taunted by opposing students who chanted: âDonald Trump, build that wall".

Ok, so it turns out the #Covington kids might have been riled up by the other group of black demonstrators close to them. THAT SAID............
1. Why did the ADULT chaperones with the #Covington students not move them to a different spot? That's kinda their job in such situations.
2. In what way does that excuse the confrontational tactic employed by the boy in the viral video? If you want to claim the high road, then TAKE the high road.
