MAGA hat boy's mother blames 'black Muslims' after son harasses Native American man

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/maga-hat-donald-trump-native-american-covington-catholic-nathan-phillips-black-muslims-a8737186.html

The mother of a boy filmed harassing a Native American man along with his friends at a rally in Washington DC has blamed “black Muslims” for the confrontation, without providing any evidence for the claim.

The teenager was among a group of students wearing Make America Great Again hats who were criticised for intimidating the musician Nathan Phillips, surrounding him to jeer and chant “build the wall, build the wall”.

But his mother claimed “black Muslims” had been harassing the group of Donald Trump supporters from the private, all-male Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky.

In an email to the news website Heavy.com, she wrote: “Did you hear the names of the people where (sic) calling these boys? It was shameful. Did you witness the black Muslims yelling profanities and video taping to get something to futher (sic) your narrative of hatred??

“Did you know that this “man” came up to this one boy and drummed in his face?”


NOTE: Nathan Philips, Native American Vietnam War Vet did NOT drum in her son's face. Her son GOT IN Mr. Philips' face.

And they were harassing the Native Americans there too.

BI is one of the most annoying militant groups.

Who is Nathan Philips?

The elder is Nathan Phillips, an Omaha elder who is also a Vietnam-era Veteran and former director of the Native Youth Alliance. He is also a keeper of a sacred pipe and holds an annual ceremony honoring Native American veterans in the Arlington National Cemetery.

Why was Mr. Philips there the day of the incident and what really happened, according to eyewitnesses/other attendees?

Nathan Phillips was ending his AIM song after a day in DC for the Indigenous Peoples Day March. Witnesses at the incident say Phillips was suddenly bombarded by a large group of males wearing “Make America Great Again” hats. Phillips told the Washington Post that he wanted to find a way to get out of the situation, but a young man blocked his way and then the situation continued to intensify.

Where were their chaperones? I've never heard of a school trip that didn't include some. You think they would have protected the kiddies from "Black Muslims'.

Of course, you'd also think they'd step on and tell the kids they were out of line. But I wouldn't expect that from anyone affiluated with this school.
