Viral footage of teenagers mobbing a Native American man and his companions at Friday's Indigenous Peoples March is sparking outrage. In the video, the man—identified by Indian Country Today as Omaha elder Nathan Phillips—is seen singing and drumming with fellow marchers while encircled by chanting teens, many of whom are wearing President Trump's Make America Great Again apparel. One youth pointedly stands directly in front of Phillips, smirking.

The teens are thought to be students of Kentucky's Covington Catholic High School, which dispatched students to Washington D.C. for the anti-abortion March for Life, which was also held Friday. A representative for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington told the Cincinnati Enquirer that the diocese is "just now learning about this incident and [regrets] it took place," and that they are "looking into it."

I saw that on Twitter earlier today. Douchebags. Don't you just want to smack that smile off that kid's face?

To be fair, it just looks like that one kid in the front was doing the harassing.

Oh, there's another thread here about this that you will just LOVE. I'll give you three guesses who is sticking up for these little dickheads, and the first two don't count.

Irrelevant.
A person can stand in opposition to what a Vietnam veteran supports, just like a person can stand in opposition to a different political party.

Bs. That is a claim you can not support.
They stood in opposition to his protest, and given what the guy supports, people should definitely stand in opposition.

Can there really be any doubt anymore that those red MAGA hats have replaced white robes and hoods as the new symbol of white nationalism? That was an absolutely disgusting display. Unlike those privileged white kids those native Americans are the original Americans and will always be more American than any of them will ever be.

This question simply cannot b e serious. A 16 year old mocking a native american and standing in front of him.. or what used to happen to native americans.

I suspect Nathan Philips would prefer the current level of "hate".

The kid in the front is certainly the worst but what the other kids are doing is the equivalent of making squinty eyes and saying “Ching Chong, Ching Chong” to an Asian. It is not ok. But maybe they just don’t know any better and this will be a learning opportunity for them. I am less optimistic about the asshole staring down the older gentleman. I get a sociopath vibe from him. Hope I’m wrong.

You must be ****ing blind then if you didn't see all rest of those punks around him proudly wearing their red MAGA hats laughing and joining in with him.

Still not even close to the level of hate Native Americans faced in years past. I would have laughed, if for no other reason then the guy looks like a fool. I would have laughed had it been a white guy running around and banging a drum. It's stupid.

BTW, I wonder if the Native Americans had wished they build a wall to keep the whites out.
