Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann plans to sue CNN for more than $250 million over alleged "vicious" and "direct attacks," his lawyer told Fox News. This comes just weeks after the Kentucky teen's legal team filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Washington Post.
The attorney, L. Lin Wood, will discuss his client's latest lawsuit on Fox News Channel's "Life, Liberty & Levin" on Sunday at 10 p.m. EST, Fox News reports.
“CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post,” Wood told Fox News host Mark Levin. "And the dollar figure in the CNN case may be higher than it was in the Washington Post."
Wood said he plans on filing the lawsuit by Tuesday "at the latest."
"When we file our complaints we've investigated it because we want to get it right," Wood said.
The lawsuits against the two news organizations stem from an incident at the Lincoln Memorial that garnered national attention in January.
A video shot after the March for Life rally appeared to show Sandmann and other Covington High students blocking the path of a Native American activist, Nathan Phillips. The students, many of whom wore "Make America Great Again" hats, appeared to chant and mock Phillips as he beat a drum and sang.
Of course this shyster lawyer L. Lin Wood knows there's a white christian MAGA jury there in Kentucky that will award at least a quarter of that amount to the poor marginalized smirking little white christian schmuck for his hurt feelings. And if that doesn't work he can always dump a cup of McDonald's coffee in his lap.
These lawsuits have exactly zero chance of success.
Yeah well...I didn't think Stella Liebeck had a chance either. But stories like this do help me keep aware of the sorts of assholes I have to share good air with in this country.
