I am going to begin with my standard disclaimer: I voted for no presidential candidate in the last election, and I am not a supporter of Pres. Trump.
Having said that, I have a question: why has there been no media coverage of Nathan Phillips' attempt to enter the national basilica with a group of protestors during a mass to disrupt the service AFTER his run-in with the student?
He didn't "intervene" between the "black hebrews" and the white boys, he saw an opportunity to gain public sympathy for his cause, to make himself out to be the victim of the white aggressor before attempting to effect his own invasion and confrontation of a peaceful church service.
Let's be absolutely clear: those boys had the option of leaving the scene when it became clear that confrontation was becoming imminent. They chose to stay, to put themselves in a position that was already stacked against them:
Strike 1: They were in DC for a pro-life event.
Strike 2: They were white.
Strike 3: They were wearing Trump hats.
There was absolutely no way this was going to end well for them.
But Phillips' attempt to disrupt a mass also clearly demonstrates that his intentions were far from peaceful - despite how the media have tried to portray him. And now they have IGNORED his own attempts to disrupt a peaceful church service. The boys, conveniently and unwittingly, simply gave him a more prominent platform - and may have irreparably harmed themselves in the process.
