Difference between revisions of "Covington kids"

The Covington Catholic kids incident occurred January 18, 2019 in Washington D.C. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when a group of Catholic high school students wearing MAGA hats who attended the March for Life were waiting for a bus to return home to Covington, Kentucky were accosted and harassed.

Mainstream media, Democratic party members of Congress, Hollywood celebrities and liberals called for violence against the students and falsely accused them of harassing American Indian professional activist Nathan Phillips.^[2] Phillips has falsely claimed to be a "Vietnam veteran." The group of predominantly white students remained passive and non-threatening throughout while being taunted and abused with racial epithets by leftist activists.

A Hollywood producer by the name of Jack Morrissey demanded that those students be sent through a woodchipper, and the actor and failed comedian Ben Hoffman, aka Wheeler Walker Jr. advocated that they be subjected to violent sexual assault, even offering to pay anyone to punch them in the groin. Morrissey after the truth was revealed not only refused to apologize, but also locked his Twitter account when people justifiably told him off for his graphic threat against them.^[3] He later gave a mediocre "apology".^[4] Twitter refused to remove death threats against the students from its site.^[5] Criminals charges against the offending Twitter posters for their online threats are being filed by county attorneys in Kenton County, Kentucky.^[6]

Related to the Nathan Phillips incident against the Covington students, a deranged leftist Twitter poster using the handle "Uncle Shoes" viciously and profanely called for the deaths of the Covington students and the destruction of their school. "Uncle Shoes" later deleted the death threat tweets after getting criticized for them, but not before they were screencapped and saved by another Twitter poster as evidence against him for the offending tweets.^[7]
