Trump Backs Nick Sandmann’s Lawsuit Against Washington Post
Wednesday morning, President Donald J. Trump Tweeted his support for Nick Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High School student who was falsely maligned by the media as a “racist” for his interaction with Native American activist Nathan Phillips in Washington, D.C., in the high school student’s lawsuit against The Washington Post.
“‘The Washington Post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump.’ Covington student suing WAPO. Go get them Nick. Fake News!” Trump said.

Trending: Illegal Man Arrested for Raping Child in Kentucky
From the newspaper in question:
The family of the Kentucky teen who was involved in an encounter with a Native American advocate at the Lincoln Memorial last month filed a defamation lawsuit against The Washington Post on Tuesday, seeking $250 million in damages for its coverage of the incident.
“In a span of three days in January of this year commencing on January 19, the Post engaged in a modern-day form of McCarthyism by competing with CNN and NBC, among others, to claim leadership of a mainstream and social media mob of bullies which attacked, vilified, and threatened Nicholas Sandmann, an innocent secondary school child,” reads the complaint.
It added, “The Post ignored basic journalist standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented, biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the President.”
The suit was filed by Sandmann’s parents, Ted and Julie, on Nicholas’s behalf in U.S. District Court in Covington. It seeks $250 million because Amazon chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos paid that amount for the newspaper when he bought it in 2013.
The quarter of a billion dollar lawsuit against The Post would be a serious setback, to say the least. In recent weeks, other far-left news outlets including VICE, HuffPost, and BuzzFeed have suffered layoffs. The layoffs have inspired internet users to encourage left wing journalists to learn the art of computer linguistics.
