In initial interview before reaching ambulance, @MsNazContractor, playing the Muslim councilwoman whom Detective Carisi (@PeterScanavino) has already informed us is famous for anti-Semitic remarks, tells him & Detective Rollins (@KelliGiddish) that "those people" are responsible
for her assault. Thus, she confirms her antisemitism. The councilwoman is an barely concealed stand-in for Ilhan Omar, a representative to the US House of Representatives from Minnesota's 5th District. ilhanomar.com @nbcsvu @SVUWritersRoom
Min 0458: A reporter asks Chief Dodds (@petergallagher): "Councilwoman Nasar is an on-the-record anti-Semite. Can you comment?" Chief Dodds doesn't contradict the reporter's assertion, thus implicitly confirming it. 
Asshole.
PLEASE recognize how hard this next season is going to be for indigenous peoples leading up to the election simply because Warren is running.
Stereotypes and hate speech will increase.
Stereotypes and hate speech will increase.
Our president will continue making jokes like this, and liberals will continue to say “Well he’s really the racist one, so just vote for Warren.”
All the while, Native people will be used as pawns in their political games and arguments.

Ah, now we're seeing the real narrative emerge... After the confrontation with the #CovingtonBoys #NathanPhillips tried to disrupt a special Mass at the National Shrine in DC.
He read a f*cking list of demands that included reparations.

Y'all can't possibly believe that #NathanPhillips JUST came up with that list of demands this weekend. 🤔 This man has longstanding animosity towards the Catholic church...
"Nathan's past was a difficult one. He was forced out of his family at the age of 5 to be integrated at a Catholic school like so many other Native Americans- not being allowed to see is family for 10 years." [1:05]

Note: this is an attempt to give a folks a chance to look outside their echo chamber. This is based on last week's controversial confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial between Covington Catholic students, Black Hebrew Israelites, and the Native American elder. 1/
I'm thinking of Matthew McConaughey's character, Jake Brigance, and his closing argument (Brigance is a lawyer) scene in the movie, "A Time to Kill". (great book, btw). The following is written with that scene in mind, and hopefully you can read along in his voice. 2/
#NathanPhillips Claims to have been a "Recon Ranger" in Vietnam. democraticunderground.org/100211698735 As a servicemember, let's break this down: There is no such thing as a "Recon Ranger". Closest is the 75th Ranger Regiment Reconnaissance Company, established 1984. Way after 'Nam. [1/11]
So instead, let's look at the other possibilities: USMC Force Recon or Army Ranger. Well, most media I've seen paints him as a USMC vet, so Force Recon it is. Force Recon, in modern times at least, takes 9ish weeks of training, on top of basic USMC boot camp. [2/11]
Even in Vietnam, USMC Boot Camp lasted no less than 9 weeks. That means 3 months of training. Boot Camp even today lasts 12 weeks, so there's no reason to believe FR school would be cut down. This means about 18 weeks of training, or 4.5 months. quora.com/How-long-was-U… [3/11]
Here's the video of the obnoxious and insulting Group of Black men who were engaging w/ #CovingtonCatholic kids. Its long so I'll list minutes to look at in this thread. #NathanPhillips #nicholassandmann bit.ly/2RW45bG
Min 38:20 - first appearance in video. Kid covers MAGA hat as BM walks towards him. BM says “See now you got these pompous assholes gonna come down here in the middle of a Native rally w/dirty ass hat on?”
Min 46:00 - BM proceeds to rudely insult Priest. #CovingtonCatholic kids walk over to offer him support. It didn't look like the Priest was a part of their group but not sure.
Min 50:00 - Kids walk away from BM and gather to left of Lincoln steps

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.
