Why Does The Man Who Was “Attacked” By Those “EVIL” MAGA Highschoolers’ Story Keep Changing?

I was unplugged for the vast majority of the weekend, so I caught up on all the “eeeevil highschoolers attack innocent native American man with a drum” DRAMA last night.

And HOLY DRAMA.

New video has emerged that proves the kids basically did NOTHING wrong. But the media and the entire left is already committed to tearing these kids apart, so it really doesn’t even matter. They’re still evil white supremacists, right?

Here is a video clearly showing that Nathan Phillips approached the students. On the basis of the evidence we now have, I believe that people who issued categorical and one-sided condemnations of the students should retract and apologize. pic.twitter.com/GxmXcMuQgC

Anyway – I find it rather interesting that the poor old man who was “attacked” by these evil MAGA boys can’t keep his story straight.

Phillips said teens “swarmed around him as he and other activists were wrapping up … Phillips then pivoted to a completely different version of his story with the @Freep, in which he admitted that he approached the students, not the other way around.” https://t.co/mvzvBx7xoj

According to National Review:

Friday he waded into a group of Covington students, evidently hoping to troll a response out of them suitable for a viral video. According to the Washington Post, Phillips, 64, said that he felt threatened by the teens and that they swarmed around him as he and other activists were wrapping up the march and preparing to leave. This is a lie. They didn’t swarm around him. He strolled right into the middle of their group.

Phillips then pivoted to a completely different version of his story with the Detroit Free Press, in which he admitted that he approached the students, not the other way around. His interviews and the various videos of the incident paint a picture of him saying he is a) terrified of the Catholic students yet b) walking right up to and into their group; a) doing his best to leave yet b) pressing forward insistently; a) trying to go up the steps of the Lincoln Memorial yet b) not noticing that there is a clear path up those steps approximately ten feet to his right.

Phillips, who claims to be a former Marine and a Vietnam veteran, told the Free Press the Covington kids “were in the process of attacking these four black individuals. I was there and I was witnessing all of this. . . . As this kept on going on and escalating, it just got to a point where you do something or you walk away, you know? You see something that is wrong and you’re faced with that choice of right or wrong.”

HMM.

Interesting.
