I am truly dismayed by how many in MSM got worked—yet again—by conservative claims that one video exonerated these kids. I've watched them all. None put them in a better light, unless you're really reaching. Some are a lot WORSE than original.
The tapes that have emerged do show the BHI doing their usual end-times ranting. But they also show the Covington Catholic kids:
* making cavemen gestures at BHI
*tomahawk chanting at Natives
*taunting random women
*chants of "build the wall" and "it's not rape if you enjoy it"
I sincerely hope that @SavannahGuthrie asks them about that. But not holding my breath.
The kid's rich and powerful mom hires a PR firm and the MSM decides that going along with gaslighting is the new objectivity. Shameful.
Anyway, I've lost a lot of respect for some very prominent media figures, left, right and center, who've fallen for this PR push out of a fear of being labeled biased. DO BETTER
Can we just talk about the fact that the boys "defense" is that they were chanting school cheers at other protestors and that those included tomahawk chops? Also, these are some piss-poor chaperones. vox.com/2019/1/22/1819…
Right now the Covington Catholic kid is being drilled by a highly-paid crisis communications team as to how to respond to @SavannahGuthrie's questions. Will they all be softballs, about his feelings of victimization?
@SavannahGuthrie So the interview has happened already. And so did the prep work.
Nathan Phillips is willing to go to Covington Catholic to have a dialog about race and respect. Also he says the kid’s statement had some mistruths. Guess which narrative @GMA is promoting freep.com/story/news/201…
