In the Media
In January 2019 a video of Nicholas and Nathan Phillips, a Native American veteran went viral on social media. On Sunday January 20, 2019, Nicholas publicly stated that the video footage strongly contradicts veteran Nathan Phillips' claim that Covington Catholic High School boys harassed him.
"I was not intentionally making faces at the protestor.
I did smile at one point because I wanted him to know that I was not going to become angry, intimidated or be provoked into a larger confrontation.
I am a faithful Christian and practicing Catholic, and I always try to live up to the ideals my faith teaches me – to remain respectful of others, and to take no action that would lead to conflict or violence", Sandmann stated in a public press release.
