As Sandmann spoke, liberal activists and members of the press reminded everyone of how the shameful Covington misreporting incident even happened in the first place. Pure, blinding rage.

CNN analyst and former Clinton White House staffer Joe Lockhart, for example, remarked during Sandmann’s address, “I’m watching tonight because it’s important. But i don’t have to watch this snot nose entitled kid from Kentucky.”

“That smug privileged teenage boy who wore a MAGA hat while he mocked an Indigenous man in front of the Lincoln Memorial a few years ago is speaking at the RNC,” said AJ+ staffer Dena Takruri. “His name is Nicholas Sandmann and I don’t give a flying f*** about hearing ‘his side of the story.’”

The Nation’s Elie Mystal said elsewhere, “I have things to say about Nick Sandman. I [bzzrt]. Look this kids needs to [bzzrt bzzrt] ow, OW. Okay, my lawyer shock collar is preventing me for Tweeting.”
