I have not stated anywhere that the MAGA kids approached Phillips. Yes, a lot of the media made knee-jerk reactions to the incident. But they were right in assuming the kids were trying to bully Phillips who was trying to diffuse a situation between the two groups (and apparently it worked because he was able to redirect the focus on him and his drumming).
You can have more than one provoker.
If he was trying to diffuse the situation, then he probably should've been a lot more clear in what he was trying to do, or at the very least handled that in a different way. Because the way he approached him made it seem like he was trying to get in his face.
