Video shows boys in MAGA hats mocking elderly Indigenous protester at Washington rally

A Catholic high school in Kentucky is facing social media backlash after videos posted online appeared to show several male youths mocking an elderly Indigenous protester at a rally in Washington, D.C.

Videos posted online showed a young man wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat standing very close to and grinning at an elderly man who was beating a traditional drum and chanting. Dozens of other boys, many wearing MAGA hats, are seen surrounding the pair and cheering.

Some of the youths were wearing clothing bearing the logo of Covington Catholic High School, a private boys high school in Park Hills, Ky.

Global News could not immediately confirm that the youths were students of the school.

However, the communications director with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington told the Cincinnati Enquirer that the diocese had learned of the incident and was investigating.

The elder in the video was identified by Indigenous news outlet Indian Country Today as Nathan Phillips, a Vietnam War veteran, Omaha elder and former director of the Native Youth Alliance.

He was attending the Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, D.C., according to people who posted the video online.

isolated so likely staged news making POTUS look bad….. is my guess on this story

so that was it from potus….. anymore speeches schedule or am I safe to go to bed and not miss any historical moments

I know not to expect as much as I would like, still it's always self inflicted disappointment when one know so much has the potential to break, at times it feels like I'm pedalling a bike with no chain or maybe jammed up brakes, either way trying hard but going nowhere, in spite of the little gems along the way, my hunger is far greater than for mere 'crumbs'

I REALLY NEED A EMOTIONAL RELEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE, AND RELIEF FROM THOSE WHO BAD MOUTHED ME AND DOUBTED ME IN SPITE OF THE FACT I HAVE NEVER LIED OR STEERED THEM IN THE WRONG DIRECTION ABOUT ANYTHING IN 30 YEARS.

PLEASE PLEASE POTUS RELEASE US FROM THE PRISON OF 'UNKNOWING' ANTICIPATION CLOUDED WITH UNSURENESS OF HISTORIC POLITICAL DEBACLES WITH WE THE PEOPLE ON THE SHITE END OF THE STICK

Trump Launches Hilarious Scheme To Fill Pelosi and Schumer’s Offices with Bricks

First it was concrete, then it was steel slats. Now, apparently, the White House thinks they can use bricks to build the wall — although not quite in the way you might be imagining.

According to the Washington Examiner, a fundraising email from the Trump campaign says that for only $20.20, you can send a fake red brick to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

“Weeks after the Democrats began stonewalling President Trump in his fight to secure our border, the American people now have a chance to send a clear message to Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi about the need to build the wall,” the fundraising email, sent out Friday, read.

The email came from Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, who felt that the bricks would serve as a form of education.

The bricks, inscribed with a message about why the wall needs to be built, would teach the Democrat leaders “the truth about the crime, drugs, and human trafficking that result from open borders.”

“We’ll send the wall to them, brick by brick, until they agree to secure the border,” he added.

Donald Trump Jr. also got in on the action, tweeting about the initiative:…..

Trump’s fundraising efforts for 2020 have been fairly successful; in October, CNN reported the president “has raised more than $100 million for a re-election battle that is more than two years away, giving him a massive financial advantage over a crowded field of potential Democratic contenders jockeying to challenge him in 2020.

“The President raised more than $18 million during the July-to-September fundraising quarter through his campaign committee and the joint fundraising operations he maintains with the Republican National Committee, according to his campaign and filings Monday night with Federal Election Commission,” they noted. “That haul means his re-election effort’s war chest now exceeds $106 million.”

BREAKING NOW: President Trump Offers Immigration Compromise to Re-Open Government

posted by Hannity Staff - 5 hours ago

President Trump addressed the American people from the White House Saturday afternoon; detailing his new effort to secure the US-Mexico border and re-open the federal government after weeks of a partial government shutdown.

“President Trump, in a televised White House address Saturday, offered Democrats a compromise package on immigration in an effort to end the nearly monthlong partial government shutdown — although Democrats dismissed the olive branch as a ‘non-starter’ before Trump even spoke,” writes Fox News.

“Trump said that he was prepared to back a three-year extension of protections for 700,000 immigrants who came to the country illegally as children and were shielded from deportation under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, in exchange for the $5.7 billion he has requested for a wall on the southern border. The deal would also extend protections for 300,000 recipients of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program — which protects immigrants from designated countries with conditions that prevent nationals from returning safely,” adds the author.

The Latest: Congo's internet service is back after 20 days

The Latest on Congo's presidential election (all times local):

10:10 p.m.

People inside Congo say internet service has returned, 20 days after it was cut off following the elections.

Internet service in Congo had been blocked since Dec. 31 in a likely attempt to dampen speculation about the presidential election results. The Constitutional Court is poised to rule on a challenge to the results filed by declared runner-up Martin Fayulu, who alleges fraud.

The U.S. ambassador to Congo, Mike Hammer, tweeted earlier Saturday saying 20 days without internet in the country are "20 days too many" and that access "needs to be restored now."

British Ambassador John Murton also had been tweeting regular reminders of the shutdown.

3:50 p.m.

The party behind the declared winner of Congo's presidential election is rejecting the African Union's surprise request to delay announcing the final results amid "serious doubts" about the vote.

The secretary-general of Felix Tshisekedi's Union for Democracy and Social Progress party accuses mining lobbyists of seeking to destabilize Congo and loot the mineral-rich country.

Jean-Marc Kabund's statement comes as Congo's Constitutional Court is poised to rule on the declared runner-up's challenge to the election results, alleging fraud. Kabund's UDPS party calls on the Congolese people to unite and defend the country's sovereignty.

Hundreds of Tshisekedi's supporters are in the streets of the capital, Kinshasa, waving tree branches and banners reading "Congo for the Congolese."

Runner-up Martin Fayulu seeks a recount in the Dec. 30 vote.
