President Donald Trump will meet with the Covington Catholic High School boys at the center of a national controversy over their confrontation with a Native American man on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The news was posted by Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who described the students as having been threatened by the leftist internet mob and said the meeting could happen as soon as Wednesday.
The boys, who wore MAGA hats during the confrontation with the Native American man who was singing and playing a drum, have been defended by conservatives after they were attacked following the first videos of the confrontation. The boys were later apologized to by the New York Times Kara Swisher and many others.
The changing narrative followed CNN host Jake Tapper publishing a letter written by a PR agency that was hired by the mother of the boy at the center of the original video, Nick Sandmann.

Who knows?
This is a really bad idea even for this White House. Getting anywhere near this is not going to be good for them. I get that he's playing to his base but he's also full on showing his cards. The only reason I can imagine the WH doing this is that they realize the wall isn't going to happen and he wants to sure up his base. They are rightly worried about not getting the wall and what it will do to his re-election chances.

(19,204 posts)with FOX Noise and leave Trump the hell out of it. When you can be bullied and manipulated by right-wing talking heads, you don't deserve the office of the president. Trump is such a weak, ineffective man-boy he should resign. Being led around by the likes of Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingraham and Hannity shows how neutered and powerless he really is.

After taking to Twitter to support them, President Donald Trump may meet with Covington Catholic students at the White House as soon as the government shutdown ends, according to reports.
The possible meeting was first reported Tuesday morning by Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who tweeted that Covington Catholic students "threatened by the leftist internet mob" will meet with Trump at the White House as early as Wednesday.
However, Ingraham tweeted about an hour later that the White House "seems to be in flux" regarding a meeting with Covington Catholic students who were in Washington, D.C., on Friday for the March for Life.
"Announced any meeting would happen after shutdown," Ingraham wrote on Twitter. "Odd as it would be less meaningful if delayed."
