Independent Investigation Shows Covington Boys Told the Truth, Confirms Nathan Phillips is a Liar Amplified by the Media

Its refreshing to see the truth come out, but unfortunately too much time has passed and no one cares.

Trump supporters gleefully point out lies of the "opposition" and investigate minor confrontations between citizens while, every day, turning a blind eye to Trump's compulsive lying and how he misleads the public, something he has been doing probably all his life, but I'll stick with the last four years of Obama's tenure when Trump repeatedly called unemployment numbers a hoax, often in great detail about obtaining info on what the real numbers were.... over and over and over. Then flipping 180 degrees just after he was put in office and suddenly claiming personal credit in Jan 2017 for the exact same "hoax" unemployment numbers (there was about a month's worth of time from his last "hoax" claim to taking credit, so it's pretty explicit).

The supporters have been doing this double-standard schtick for just over two years now. They've largely taken on Trump's own view: "Standards are for the opposition, and don't apply to us." This belief is why Trump has a pre-2016 tweet that contradicts literally everything he does and says now.

While I said from the get-go that I wanted to see the minutes before what hit the news initially (and I was proven right when I did) and thought that, despite having a punch able face, the kid was not as guilty as the shorter video made him out to be.....despite all that:

As per mediabiasfactcheck.com:

In review, Townhall almost exclusively publishes news articles that favors conservatives and utilizes strongly loaded language such as this: Shove It, House Democrats: Another Trump-Russia Story Blows Up. This story is sourced to the left leaning Axios and right leaning Fox News. In another article with loaded language, by Rush Limbaugh’s brother David: Abortion Extremism Exposing Left’s Moral Contradictions, there is not a single source listed to support Mr. Limbaugh’s claims.

In general, Townhall presents story selection that almost always favors the right and uses negative wording to describe the left. There is little balance in story presentation with all information favoring the right without presenting a left perspective or counter argument. The opinion columnists associated with Townhall have poor fact check records such as Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and Ben Shapiro. Straight news reporting is generally sourced properly and factual, though worded to favor the right.


So, a good point spoiled by a lousy source.

Chief Standing Valor walked into the crowd; he wasn't "surrounded." The crowd of students parted like the Red Sea before the old man until he got to that one kid who could have stepped to the side, but didn't. So you then had two stubborn, childish people -- one, granted, with an excuse for acting like a teenaged punk -- who wouldn't step aside or walk around. Both didn't seem mentally impaired, so both knew that they were standing in what the late, great Andrew Breitbart called "a sea of New Media," and therefore were bound to go viral. The old man seemed to be a little stupid, and didn't seem to know what "going viral" would ultimately mean -- all his lies would be shown to be lies, especially his stolen valor.

SmirkBoi is of the age where kids may as well have invented the "New Media." They know how it works. Things go viral, then they go out of control. Unless the kid lived in a cave he knew some folks hate Trump to the point of sounding as deranged as the people who paint pictures of him with the Lord Jesus Christ guiding his hands. He must have known about how they dox people, the insane things that happen on social media, folks in the news hounded out of restaurants. He could have stepped aside, but he chose not to. He stood in the old man's way, then complained that he beat a drum in his face. He could have moved that face. He kept his face where he wanted it to be. This was his moment.

And now he's hoping for a payday in court. In court, they'll also point out that he could have moved his face, stepped aside, not done the interview with what anyone would know would be a hostile journalist. Chief Stolen Valor should be prosecuted, as should doxxers and anyone who harassed those kids and their families. God will take care of that strange cult. But SmirkBoi doesn't deserve a payday for something he could have avoided.
