Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann, who stood silent while a Native American activist drummed repeatedly within inches of his face and another activist told him to “go back to Europe,” slammed people who claimed his facial expression was racist.
A number of liberal analysts claimed that Sandmann, by standing still and smiling, was demeaning Nathan Phillips, the activist, while others noted that Phillips approached Sandmann out of the blue in Washington on Jan. 18 and invaded his personal space.
