The progressives and the press are trying to railroad this kid. They say he was “hateful, disrespectful, taunting” toward this drumming Indian that got in his face. If there is one single scrap of video showing ANY bad behavior by that kid, I haven’t seen it!! The a-hole press is in total progressive lying spin mode on this one. They hate the guts of ordinary Americans. They despise us. This is infuriating!
