Covington Teen Nick Sandmann’s Statement Crafted By Republican PR Firm Founded By Former Mitch McConnell Aide

A GOP-linked PR firm was behind the statement by a Covington Catholic High school student defending his confrontation with a Native American elder that went viral. The day after a viral video ...

1. How can Julie Weis Sandmann and Ted Sandmann afford a high priced PR firm who represents huge corporations such as Pfizer and Philip Morris?
2. Tuition at Covington Catholic High School is $8,750 a year. Their site has been down for at least 2 days. Wonder why?
3. How connected are his parents to Republicans?

• He defended Cindy Hyde-Smith’s “public hanging” comment
• He continues to defend Trump’s racism  — all of his immigration '’policies’ even the ones that were ruled illegal by multiple federal judges.

“I never felt like I was blocking the Native American protestor. He did not make any attempt to go around me. It was clear to me that he had singled me out for a confrontation, although I am not sure why.”, Nick Sandmann / RunSwitch

“I did not witness or hear any students chant "build that wall" or anything hateful or racist at any time.”, Nick Sandmann / RunSwitch

"I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers", Nick Sandmann / RunSwitch

I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation... I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand.",  Nick Sandmann / RunSwitch

But on Monday, a report by the Louisville Courier-Journal revealed that Sandmann’s statement had been crafted by a Republican-linked public relations firm founded in part by a former staff member and adviser to current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, also of Kentucky.

RunSwitch told the Courier-Journal in a written statement that it “has been retained by the Sandmann family to offer professional counsel with what has become a national media story. We are working with the family to ensure an accurate recounting of events which occurred this past weekend.”

Another of the RunSwitch co-founders, Steve Bryant, said that the firm became involved with the Sandmann case when the teen’s family “reached out to our firm, and we responded,” according to the Louisville paper’s report.

Alyssa Milano calls MAGA hats 'the new white hood' following standoff between Trump-loving teens and Native American veteran - NY Daily News

No stranger to taking a stand, Alyssa Milano has slammed “Make American Great Again” hats as “the new white hood.” The actress and activist drew the comparison between the red caps sporting President Trump’s campaign slogan and white hoods worn by members of the KKK.

“The red MAGA hat is the new white hood,” Milano, 46, tweeted Sunday. “Without white boys being able to empathize with other people, humanity will continue to destroy itself.”

‘It was getting ugly’: Native American drummer speaks on the MAGA-hat-wearing teens who surrounded him

The tense encounter in Washington prompted outrage on social media

1. Trump dodged fighting in Vietnam FIVE times #BoneSpurs
2. Mitch McConnell was diagnosed with optic neuritis and was deemed medically unfit for military service
3. Rand Paul did not and will not serve

Phillips, an Omaha tribe elder who fought in the Vietnam War and now lives in Michigan, has long been active in the indigenous rights movement.

A co-founder of the Native Youth Alliance cultural and education group, he shows up to Arlington National Cemetery every Veteran’s Day with a peace pipe to pay tribute to Native Americans who served in the U.S. military.

“My job has always been taking care of the fire, to keep the prayers going,” Phillips said.

The images in a series of videos that went viral on social media Saturday showed a tense scene near the Lincoln Memorial.

In them, a Native American man steadily beats his drum at the tail end of Friday’s Indigenous Peoples March while singing a song of unity for indigenous people to “be strong” in the face of the ravages of colonialism that now include police brutality, poor access to health care and the ill effects of climate change on reservations. #TakeAKnee

Surrounding him are a throng of young, mostly white teenage boys, several wearing Make America Great Again caps, with one standing about a foot from the drummer’s face also wearing a relentless smirk.

Nathan Phillips, a veteran in the indigenous rights movement, was that man in the middle.

“It was getting ugly, and I was thinking: ‘I’ve got to find myself an exit out of this situation and finish my song at the Lincoln Memorial,’ ” Phillips recalled. “I started going that way, and that guy in the hat stood in my way and we were at an impasse. He just blocked my way and wouldn’t allow me to retreat.”

Some of the teens in the video wore sweatshirts from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Ky., which sent students to Washington to participate in Friday’s antiabortion March for Life event, according to an archived page of the school’s website that was taken down on Saturday.

“To see a group of students from a Catholic school who are practicing such intolerance is a sad sight for me.”,  Rep. Deb Halland (D-N.M.)

“We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general,” the statement said.

“The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.”
