Teen In Maga Hat Files 275 Million Lawsuit Against Cnn
Native American activist Nathan Phillips claimed he had been surrounded and abuse by the group of teens on a school trip. Video of the incident told a different story, however. The teens were being abused with homophobic and racist slurs by a group of Black Hebrew Israelites. Phillips walked into the middle of the school group with his drum. In the complaint, Sandmann’s attorneys allege that he was blinded by political bias, and vilified the teenager in a mission to paint President Donald Trump and his supporters in a negative light. The filing also claims that CNN failed to do its basic journalistic duty by promoting falsehoods about Sandmann. The filing states that CNN falsely accused Sandmann of: This is the second lawsuit Sandmann has filed in relation to the events of January 18th. He previously filed a lawsuit seeking $50 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damage against the Washington Post. One of Sandmann’s lawyers has also suggested that the lawsuits may not end with WaPo and CNN. Todd McMurtry told Fox News that he and his client are looking closely at NBC, the Associated Press, HBO for Bill Maher’s coverage of the incident, and individuals such as Kathy Griffin, who disparaged Sandmann on Twitter.
