Students in Maga hats harass Native American protester

Students in Maga hats harass Native American protester

The videos posted on Twitter by people yesterday, show several students allegedly from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky mocking and ridiculing an elderly Native American protestor, while he is playing a drum and singing songs.

One student in particular is confrontationally standing in front of the man, grimacing and staring at him while he continues to sing. The other boys, also wearing MAGA hats, are seen laughing and chanting, drowning out the songs of the protestors.

Although little information has been revealed, it seems the boys are part of a group from Kentucky that is visiting the capital for a school trip.

One woman, who was at the protest, went to Instagram to describe what she saw:

The few of use left lingering to chat and meet were confronted and surrounded by 50-70 young people wearing Trump’s hats, T-shirt’s and other apparel.
The group consisted of mostly white men who sought to intimidate, mock and scare us with a mob mentality in order to silence a demonstration that was mostly concluded.
The group outnumbered us and enclosed our small group, chanting ‘build the wall’ and other trumpisms.

The group was clearly looking for ANY opportunity to get violent and they consistently infringed upon our space, inching closer and closer, bumping into us and daring us to get physical.

Thank you to @VinceSchilling of @IndianCountry and many others who identified the proud Native man who is being harassed. He is Mr. Nathan Phillips. I’m reposting this video from “ka_ya11” on IG. This man’s words pierce my heart. The grace. The wisdom. The hope.

A senior planning on culinary school.

Let’s hope that school gets to see this video.

I imagine it’ll show up elsewhere. The deleted post was showing somebody on twitter who outed him.

As well he should be.

I understand DU's rules, and agree with them, but DU's rules aren't Facebook's rules.

we can do it

fomented in their Catholic school.

May they all rot. And may more than just the little shit in the foreground be identified. I hope all those nasty little creeps get outed.
