Wrong Move? Federal Judge Tosses Covington Teen’s Defamation Suit Against WaPo


Earlier this year, a viral video of a Covington Catholic High School teenager wearing a MAGA hat while standing in front of a Native American protestor stirred up controversy – a controversy that mainstream media outlets jumped on to construct a narrative that painted the boy in the video, Nick Sandmann, as disrespectful, agressive, and a product of the far-left’s fantasy of the evil “Trump’s America.”

In particular, The Washington Post was particularly harsh on Sandmann over the encounter, resulting in Sandmann suing the media outlet for millions of dollars over their unfair reporting of what went on.

However, a federal judge has just dismissed the case entirely adn ruled against Sandmann’s lawsuit.

For reference, here’s The Washington Post’s video report on the encounter between Sandmann and the Omaha elder:
