1. Lockhart is a former White House Press Secretary.
2. Sandmann was vilified and victimized by the media. Cancel culture is a problem.
And CNN apparently learned nothing from its having to settle with Sandmann. From Cincinnati.com:
The Sandmann lawsuit against CNN stated: "CNN brought down the full force of its corporate power, influence, and wealth on Nicholas by falsely attacking, vilifying, and bullying him despite the fact that he was a minor child."
In January, CNN settled. Nick Sandmann CNN settlement was almost public
The Native American man was also vilified by the right wing. I saw the attacks on him and his military service. I preferred seeing the two work it out in a personal level, and set an example to the rest of the nation. Trump didn’t even encourage that. The Trump exploited the situation and provoked further tribalism and division. The kid played the ultimate victim, wore a Maga hat in front of the world again last night, and asked for civility.
The message and public display is BS. He is also a kid, and this incident will follow him throughout his life. The Trump train will eventually end, and I think it’s sad considering most people his age have a lot of growing to do and tend to change their opinions.
