President Trump had remained pretty much silent on the whole Covington Kids, Native American Protester controversy until all the facts were in. And as we are now learning, he was right to do so.
Yesterday morning the President finally tweeted his opinion of this whole left wing media narrative by effectively calling out the fake news and the harm media can do to these children.
Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good – maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream!

Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false – smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! “New footage shows that media was wrong about teen’s encounter with Native American” @TuckerCarlson

But what’s even more great about his response is that later Laura Ingraham tweeted that the students who were threatened by an internet mob, and even doxed, will be meeting with President Trump sometime after the shutdown is over.
Now White House now seems to be in flux re. Covington Catholic kids. Announced any meeting would happen after shutdown. Odd as it would be less meaningful if delayed. https://t.co/RHoYVgnCl4

I agree with Ingraham on this, there really is no reason to delay this meeting. It’s not like President Trump can’t see these kids in the oval office and offer them some fast food as he did with the Clemson football players. I bet the students would also enjoy that a lot more than whatever snobby dish the White House chef would prepare for them.
