Nick Sandman Returns To March For Life. “Will never pass” opp to fight for life
Nick Sandman posted photos online this week showing the brave teenager back at the March for life event for this year.
You remember Nick: the Covington High School teenager got a little more publicity than he asked for during the last march, because of a picture taken and circulated online and by mass media. The photo made Nick out to look like he was smirking at an elderly native american man who was singing in front of him.
Even media pundits talked about wanting to punch the teen in the face, and he received death threats for the bad press.
But later photos and video came out showing that the teen did nothing wrong at all, but in fact was the one who was being harrassed and degraded by the elderly man.
Nick attends a catholic all boys high school, and is reportedly very devout in his faith.
The photos have gone viral as a testimonial to the strength of Nick’s faith in the face of such a trying incident, that he would return to the event.
When the incident occurred, the students were waiting for their bus to arrive that would take them back to their school. While waiting, a fringe radical group calling itself Black Hebrew Israelites was hurling racist insults at the group of teens. To drown out the racist and derogatory remarks, the group began chanting their school anthem. Then, the elderly native man, Nathan Phillips, came into the faces of the teens banging a drum at them.
The boys were vilified by the press, though after the truth began coming out, many in the press issued apologies. Nick ended up suing the media outlets that slandered him and settled for undisclosed sums.
The lawsuits were filed againdt Senator Elizabeth Warren, Congresswoman Debora Haaland, reporter Ana Navarro of CNN, Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, Matthew Dowd of ABC news, Kathy Griffin and Reza Aslan who were CNN contributors at the time, Kentucky entrepreneur Adam Edelen, Professor Kevin Kruse of Princton University, left-wing activist Shaun King, Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery, and Rewire editor-in-chief Jodi Jacobson.
