Nick Sandmann — the Covington Catholic High School student who was smeared by the media last year after an incident in Washington, D.C., went viral last year — spoke at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night where he warned Americans about the political Left’s tactic of “cancelling” people who stand in their way.
“I found myself face-to-face with Nathan Phillips and other professional protesters looking to turn me into the latest poster child showing why Trump is bad,” Sandmann said. “While the media portrayed me as the aggressor with a ‘relentless smirk’ on my face, in reality the video confirms I was standing with my hands behind my back and an awkward smile on my face that hid two thoughts. One, don’t do anything that might further agitate the man banging a drum in my face and two, trying to follow a family friend’s advice never to do anything to embarrass your family, your school, or your community.”
