The lefts electronic character assassination. That is exposed tonight and the focus of our angle. Boy, that was quick. A few days after we learned the truth about the incident at the Lincoln Memorial involving some prolife high schoolers, and native american activist, and a handful of hateful black supremacist, then media sure want to put it all in the rearview. The school, the diocese and the nearby School Closed today. We will see what happens tomorrow but right now people are trying to come to grips with everything that happened and hopefully take a breath and move on. Laura of course the school wants this over. They stupidly fell for that nefarious defamatory spin and jumped on their own students students. The school still hasnt retracted its initial statement of the condemnation. It did so for the diocese which is shameful. The group that i think has the most to lose includes the bottom feeders from the info entertainment industry. They seized on it as an easy opportunity to brand young Trump Supporters as racist. Everyone who sees that smug look wants to punch that kid. Look at that face. You want to punch the face. And indigenous elder, yelling build a wall exposes it has nothing to do with border security. Its an issue of race and white supremacy. Laura the video doesnt show these kids chanting build a wall. The elder confronted them, walking towards the students. They didnt surround him. So how did this nothing story become subject to a bonfire . Twitter furnished us with a big clue. On monday, it suspended the account of 2020 fights. It was that account that first disseminated the edited one minute long video of the confrontation and the meme that set this entire narrative in motion. Like quicksilver, the video was used for more than 2. 5 billion times. Erect out more than 14,000 retweets. Of course major media then picked it up, lapped it up. Cnn business asked twitter about the identity of the party or parties controlling that account. Good for them. It saw a discrepancy between the bio and supposedly a california schoolteacher and the profile picture. It is that of a brazilian blogger. The profile didnt match the bio. Finally twitter suspended the account, claiming that deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of twitter rules. Well, twitter has some pretty tough rules against abuse and hateful conduct policies that are unfairly at times applied to some conservatives are just speaking their mind. Twitters rules state clearly that you may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone or insight other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior and attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone elses voice. It goes on. You may not promote violence against or threaten or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, identity, religious affiliation. It forbids the dissemination of hateful imagery on twitter. Given all of that, perhaps not only the account 2020 fight but other twitter accounts need to be suspended. The writer wrote a book about god and so forth then tweeted a photo of Nick Sandmann and said have you ever seen a more punchable face then this kid . If thats not an incitement to violence, i dont know what is. Sandmanns family has been harassed. Bounties have been put out. The wildly unfunny trump haider kathy griffin, she posted a tweet talking about doxing the kids. How is it not using twitter to harass and threaten and with the prospect of violence in the air, some commentators move to allout dehumanize these kids. Like cnns ana navarro in a nowdeleted tweet, she called the covington students that are a hyphen wipes. Miami must be so proud. A tweet saying you dont let your kid wear a maga hat and then act offended. Others were the worst. They were using these innocent students to advance their own antitrump animus on twitter. Father edward tweeting my feelings about the covington boys are unchanged since the first reporting. Boys should not have been permitted to wear maga hats if they were representing the school. What . Okay. You cant have any political feelings if you are a student. Buzzfeed reporter revealed herself when she tweeted this picture of the covington high students next to brett kavanaugh. Shocker. One theme of the conversations over the past 24 hours, how deeply familiar this look is. Its a look of white patriarchy of course but that familiarity, the banality is part of what trumps the visceral reaction. This isnt spectacular. Its life in america. Longwinded tweet. Actually its life through the eyes of a true hater, some on truly intolerant. This is how white men look. Look. Look at the faces. What are they supposed to look like . I thought everyone was supposed to look however they want. Isnt that how liberalism is . Their own truth, whatever they want to look like a supposed be okay. Not if you are a white guy who happens to be a catholic and wearing a maga hats. For a moment, assume a racist put up a picture of two black men and said the exact same type of thing that she did about this student and brett kavanaugh. Replacing the word white with the word black. Do you think twitter would allow that person to remain on their platform . Well, they wouldnt and they shouldnt. Ditto for aunt helen peterson, her comment is racist. Today joy behar in a moment of perhaps accidental candor revealed what this was all really about. Why do we keep making the same mistake . Because we are desperate to get trump out of office. I think thats the reason. I think the press jumps the gun a lodge because we have so much circumstantial evidence. We are hoping that cohen has the goods and what have you. Laura on the buzzfeed story and this one. Here is our wish that this type of sadistic online savagery be shut down by twitter and other powerful social media platforms. Its time they started evenly enforcing the rules of conduct against all parties, including ones on the left. And thats the angle. By the way, this just in. We are learning about this. Rob sanders, who is the kentucky county prosecutor in kenton county, which covers this Covington Catholic high school area, they are looking at perhaps this terroristic threatening statute in kentucky that involves online threats and threats against schools. By the way, if prosecuted successfully, its a felony. They are taking it very seriously and the Commonwealth Attorney as well, multiple threats against his family, their home, and their wellbeing. Here now with reaction, attorney and rnc Committee WomanHarmeet Dhillon and former u. S. Assistant attorney, Fox News Contributor, antimccarthy. It has been two days. Leftists called for violence against the students. And for their doxxing. A lot of these tweets remain up to this moment in time. Now, the rate is always policed by twitter. Why not these folks in a more expeditious fashion, harmeet . Thanks for asking me. I have dealt with twitter and its terms of service on several occasions, written them letters because my clients were conservative writers and journalists, having been taken down for no reason or no explanation. Twitter has repeatedly allowed very despicable contact, gruesome threats of violence to stay up on its platform when the political causes right. What we are discerning from this is that twitters terms of service which are a contract are not being applied evenly, and that would actually give twitter user grounds for a suit on various series in the California Law and other states. Hopefully someone will hold them accountable but now they are not being held accountable on a contract basis and our government is not doing anything to police the fact that they get away with the because they have immunity under the Communications Decency act to do whatever they want. We do this is ridiculous. No, no, someone is going to get badly hurt and when people say its the first amendment. Its free expression. There can be no action no, no. Andy, i am all for the first amendment. I think there should be a vigorous debate of the issues and im not for clamping down on that type of speech. But this is not that type of speech. What they are doing is putting their lives in danger, and this is a classic leftwing trotskyite tactic. They are trying to make these kids afraid of speaking out, being prolife, being catholic, being conservative, being a trump supporter. They are succeeding. A lot of these kids are really scared tonight and where are these people worrying about the kids . 24 7 they are all about the kids. Trump is mean to the kids. These people are made to the kids. Go ahead, andy. Laura, i think harmeet is completely right about the contractual aspect of this. What you are pointing out right now is a category of speech or categories of speech that have never been protected under the first amendment. Incitement is not protected. Threats are not protected. I think the only way you ever put a stop to this is if you start to prosecute people and make an example out of them. I just dont see a great deal of energy in that direction. But that is what has to happen. Speed do people have to demand it. Harmeet, we have heard from some of the students and ive got to say its inspiring to see how they are weathering this, pretty well. They are not political kids. They went to a prolife march, the annual march in the united states. Thats what they were doing. They found themselves in this situation. 14, 15, 16yearold kids. This is what two of them said today in a Youtube Video that was released. Lets watch. There have been many threats against our lives, against our parents. Some of these threats include that we should all be locked in school and it should be burned to the ground. The school being bombed. School shooting threats. Its really scary. I have been doxxed on three separate occasions. This has led to a tsunami of hateful messages, threats, and everything. Laura harmeet, i am telling you. We are all worried about School Safety and school shooters. Horrific things have happened in our country but now we have people who are putting their name on this that call themselves comedians or they are latenight hosts or news organizations that throw gunpowder on an already raging fire by giving this legitimacy without any reporting, real reporting. We are going to get into this in a bit about the native american elder and what his background is. No curiosity about this. The narrative has to be a kate is wearing a maga hat, a white male at a prolife march, hes got to be guilty of something that we are going to find out about it. I find it to be absolutely reprehensible and someone has got to go to jail. Someone has got to go to jail or someone is going to die. Someone gets hurt or there is a shooting or something happens to their families. The news media that irresponsibly spread the story around, viciously in some cases spread this story around. Laura andy, andy. Yeah, sorry. Lawsuits against the news media. They do not have immunity from publishing. Their lack of curiosity and repeated publication of known false information in this matter does expose them to liability. Laura all right, hold on. Hold on. Ive got to get andy. Okay, really quick, really quick. Savannah guthrie in an interview thats going to run tomorrow. We dont have time to play it. She asks Nick Sandmann, the main kid who i had a chance to talk to today, she asked him do you feel from this experience that you owe anybody an apology. Do you see this as your own fault in any way . She had that very concerned look on her face. Oh, come on, savannah. You are better than that. It goes to what you were saying. The fact that they had the maga hat on must mean they are guilty of something. No, no, the maga hat is the guilt because whats now prevalent here is that we are about narrative here. We are not about objective reality. The fact that they are wearing that hat feeds into a narrative that basically you are condemned by wearing it. To the extent that they said they were expressing all of this hateful rhetoric when in fact the video disproves it. It doesnt matter because to them, the hat symbolizes the hateful rhetoric. What difference does it make whether it was actually laura the school and the diocese and a bunch of liberal trump hating catholic priests jumped on these kids too. I can do the whole show. I feel like doing the whole show and canceling the other topics. This says about who we are with the country in political speech and the left is being thank you. Our next guest says between the buzzfeed report by the covington brushfire, this is the right time to address the electronic lynch mob. Victor davis hanson joins me. It is more than a pile on. Tammy bruce said this today on my podcast which everybody has to listen to. She was phenomenal. She said laurel, this is a type of virtual reputational murder thats taking place because these kids, look at these kids face. Not they are. On the today show. He looks like he has been through hell and high water. How do we stop in for good . The classic western when they stormed the jail and tried to lynch the innocent man, they either succeeded or failed when the sheriff came out with a Double Barrel shotgun. Metaphorically our sheriffs facebook and twitter and they are on the side of the mob. These people feel they are not going to be censored. There is no downside. It is hard to sue people under our system for defamation of character or even for conspiracy to commit violence. We dont see it very often. More importantly, people dont get fired, laura. Look at one of the authors of the buzzfeed he had been fired again and again and again. Leopold. Laura jason leopold. There were no consequences. When it was released that these were young innocent kids, they are not going to be very ready to fight back and they had maga hats on and they were white and they were catholic and they were it was a turkey shoot for all of these bullies. When you look at the upside, when you combine the electronic mechanism with the hate trump, that result is theirs two value values. Extremism and rapidity. There was like a dog race almos almost. Who could get out first and then virtue signal that i was the first one to attack these kids. And then the next was who can be the most extreme . I said beat them up. No, i said shoot them. For in them up. Laura someones head in effigy. The media have not learned anything. There is no downside. Laura i love hearing al sharpton. Then you had another case. Then you have the fraternity at uva. Then you had hands up, dont shoot. That goes on and on. Whats happened is when you have Silicon Valley and you have a great fortunes in america, bloomberg or apple or google, all of the great money and foundations in hollywood and the media and the universities, this story starts out and its a false force multiplying effect and that permeates our entire society. When you look at the other side, we dont have those resources. When our conservative ranks are bifurcated, there were people in the nevertrump side who joined in because they felt it was the magic key that would unlock the analysis of trump. Im going to get on it and prove these kids had maga hats and therefore i was right. Laura it was a venn diagram. We are out of time. The venn diagram of the nevertrumper and the accusers of these kids. There was an interesting intersection and youre absolutely right, people like Robbie George at princeton whose work i respect but he was a big nevertrumper. He jumped on this kid. Very well respected catholic professor but he pulled it back. Some of these other people really havent pulled it back because they hate trump. They are absolutely raging with hatred and donald trump and they dont care what Collateral Damage that they leave on the roadside. The downside is more than the outside. Laura victor, thank you so much. Youre absolutely right. People have to pay for what happened here. We have some breaking news on what else native american activist Nathan Phillips was up to last saturday. You will not believe what the media didnt tell you about him, and thats next.
