What Leonard Pitts describes, Jan. 25, 2019, is more like Trump haters triggered by headwear (read not white and pointed). There was a rush to judgment by the biased media and online mob, blaming the Covington boys.

Nathan Phillips lied about being a Vietnam veteran. He was never deployed.

Beating a drum in a boy’s face and chanting is hardly praying. The boy didn’t smirk.

He was smiling. What smirking looks like is coming from Speaker Pelosi after the government was reopened for 21 days.

The Covington boys didn’t say anything; the “Black Hebrew Israelites” said all the bad words.

The online mob was acting in the name of social media.

As for Martin Luther King Day, it was hijacked by Democrats who made it political instead of a remembrance day.

Also to George Will, Sen. L. Graham still deserves a grade of A or 90 percentile compared to all and each Democrat senator.

Grading on a sliding scale, Democrat senators are at rock bottom.
