UPDATE: American Indian witness refutes the media narrative… I was told this was a racial issue… is the Indian a racist!
….WHAT DID THE WITNESS SAY?
While the mainstream media were quick on Saturday to declare the students guilty of anti-Native American bigotry, new angles and videos in context told a much different story. In fact, the students were not protesting Native Americans as some claimed, nor did they approach and surround a group of Native Americans as initially alleged.
Meanwhile, Marcus Frejo, who the Associated Press described as “a member of the Pawnee and Seminole tribes who is also known as Chief Quese Imc,” also countered the dominate media narrative.
Frejo told the AP that while it seemed the students initially appeared to mock the Native Americans, once the situation defused he “was at peace singing among the scorn and he briefly felt something special happen as they repeatedly sang the [anthem from the Native American Movement].”
“They went from mocking us and laughing at us to singing with us. I heard it three times,” Frejo said. “That spirit moved through us, that drum, and it slowly started to move through some of those youths.”
In the end, a “calm” fell over the group before they dispersed.
The one “drum beater” Indian is a far-left leaning activist. So when he is the only one that heard the chants “build the wall,” I am UBER suspicious.
…CONTINUING…
This video is claimed to show the American Indian being “surrounded by a violent, epithet hurling” group of toxic white masculinity with a dash of racism. Watch it and see [UPDATE] Lulu Says has closed her account for a bit. So I will post the full video here:

What it shows is the group of kids disbanding (getting ready for the buses picking them up) after the group of American Indians had walked up to their group and the one started beating his drum inches from many of the kids faces, ending on the one kid who politely stared at him after he had his space encroached upon. The above video shows like the others detailing the beginning of the “episode,” the kids chanting their school song in a circle of their own — for the umpteenth time. Here is my summation of what the video evidence shows below:
- They were there for “March for Lives” — not protesting against Native Americans. As they were waiting for the bus, MANY videos show the American Indian group walking UP TO them. They were NEVER surrounded, they walked into the kids group. The kids said they thought the group wanted them to join in the chant (they had no idea they were the target at that time of the drum-banger). None of them chanted “build the wall.” None of them hurled epithets at the Indians. The guy banging the drum has made false allegations in the past. That boy has been doxxed and progressives have called for violence against him. ALL based on a lie, easily shown to be false by watching the videos. This attack on obviously-innocent teenagers is one of the grosser smear jobs by the mainstream press in recent memory. Just when you thought the media could not stoop any lower.
Here is how the DAILY MAIL opens up their article:
‘Display Of Blatant Hate, Disrespect, And Intolerance’: Shocking Moment Kentucky Students Wearing Maga Hats ‘Mock’ Native American Vietnam Vet Singing And Playing A Drum At Washington Rally
- The footage shows a boy staring at and standing close to the elderly man
- Others surround man, identified as Vietnam veteran, laughing and shouting
- Congresswoman Deb Haaland tweeted that the footage was ‘heartbreaking’
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington said it was ‘investigating’
- The Indigenous Peoples March in Washington on Friday coincided with the March for Life, which drew thousands of anti-abortion protesters
- Elderly man, named as Nathan Phillips, ‘heard them saying build that wall’
What the video doesn’t show is thankfully shown by the Twitterverse. Here is the first video I wish to note of the two main refutations, followed by some comments:

INFORMATION LIBERATION (hat-tip LIBERTY DAILY) notes with a newer addition to the video proof that this is definitely a media driven hoax:

COMMENTARY
The videos above video shows a crowd of people that are stationary and chanting their schools song. THEN, an American Indian walking over to them and start pounding the drum in the boy’s face. Here are two “bigots” [I only say this because someone called me a bigot for posting a video to refute these #fakenews stories] discussing the issue showing the American Indian drummer walk up to the crowd and get inches from the kids face:

And here is another comment on how well behaved these young men were… is this one:
More Media Lies
There was no #MAGA mob hounding a Native American
Mult Native Americans instigated an incident walking into a peaceful group of kids & taunting one chanting & drumming inches fm his faceNo one said “Build the Wall”
& if anything
That kid deserves a peace medal pic.twitter.com/lPbPtQtTh7— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) January 20, 2019
And the last — middle of the road — comment is this one by Mike Cernovich:
A much older man approached a group of teenage boys who were ALREADY chanting a school song.
Although the teenage boys could have been more respectful, and should have been, the story was that they surrounded him. https://t.co/mzZmNrcjmp
