President Donald Trump posted on Twitter noting that the students from Covington Catholic High School waiting for their bus in Washington had been “smeared by [the] media.”

A short video clip recorded on Jan. 18 of the students interacting with a Native American elder and anti-Trump activist named Nathan Phillips went viral over the weekend, leading to a slew of news stories that failed to represent both sides of the encounter.
