At 5 p.m. on Saturday, still unaware of the moments preceding the viral video, The Post published its first story on what would become a days-long national argument about racism, the media and masculinity. The headline: “‘It was getting ugly’: Native American drummer speaks on his encounter with MAGA-hat-wearing teens.” The article quoted Phillips, saying he felt threatened by the teens. It also included a statement from the Catholic Diocese of Covington condemning the actions of the students seen in the video, in which they appeared to mock and taunt the Native American activist.
This lawsuit is going nowhere. You have to be a certified MAGAMoron to believe otherwise. All the Post did was to accurately quote Phillips and the Catholic Diocese of Covington, followed up shortly thereafter with a thorough discussion of the genesis of this viral story (your link) stating “This was a complex encounter involving many people with sharply different perspectives — we reported what we could verify by talking to participants and witnesses and examining the available video. As is often the case, reporting over time allows a more complete picture to emerge.” There was no malicious intent or willful disregard for the truth in their reporting.

In short, this kid self-identified as a bigoted moron via his MAGA hat and is now concerned about defamation of his character??? Please. His stupid hat defamed him far worse than the good-faith reporting in the Post. Meanwhile, your Dear Leader has now lied to you over 8,000 times.
