Pro-Life Teen Nicholas Sandmann Wins Settlement From CNN For Smearing Him
Pro-Life Teen Nicholas Sandmann Wins Settlement From CNN For Smearing Him
Covington Catholic high school student Nicholas Sandmann has received an undisclosed settlement from CNN after the pro-abortion media outlet smeared him and a group of pro-life teens attending the March for Life.
The smears against the Covington Catholic High School students began after a heavily edited video surfaced of them face to face with liberal active Nathan Phillips after the March for Life in January. Longer footage of the incident later disproved many of the claims against the pro-life Kentucky students. However, the students and their families received death threats because of the accusations, and their school was forced to close several days because of security concerns.
Now, CNN has settled the lawsuit Sandmann filed against it. The amount of the settlement with CNN was not made public at a hearing in Covington, Kentucky but it sought $75 million for harm to Sandmann’s reputation and $200 million in punitive damages.
“The CNN accusations are totally and unequivocally false and CNN would have known them to be untrue had it undertaken any reasonable efforts to verify their accuracy before publication of its false and defamatory accusations,” the suit read.
“CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post. And CNN goes into millions of individuals’ homes,” Lin Wood, one of Sandmann’s attorneys, told Fox News’s Mark Levin last year.
The lawsuit came after an independent investigation confirmed that a group of Covington Catholic teens told the truth about their now-viral confrontation with a Native American man in January in Washington, D.C. The report by Greater Cincinnati Investigation, Inc.states that the pro-life teens did not initiate the confrontation or use any racial slurs against Native American Nathan Phillips or the Black Hebrew Israelites group.
“We found no evidence of offensive or racist statements by students to Mr. Phillips or members of his group,” the report states. “We found no evidence that the students performed a ‘Build the Wall’ chant.”

Lawyer L. Lin Wood said Phillips told “lies and false accusations” about Sandmann and other students after the Jan. 18 incident.
Phillips did not participate in the independent investigation. According to Townhall, he lied about the students chanting “Build the wall!” and his Vietnam service.
“We have attempted to reach out to Mr. Phillips by phone and by e-mail, informing him that we desired to interview him in person and that we were prepared to meet him in Michigan or any location he might prefer,” the investigators wrote. “We also sent Mr. Phillips’ daughter an e-mail as they both appear to be involved in the Native Youth Alliance and have shared their e-mail addresses after the event to thank everyone for reaching out and supporting them.”
They said Phillips never responded.
“Mr. Phillip’s public interviews contain some inconsistencies, and we have not been able to resolve them or verify his comments due to our inability to contact him,” the investigators continued.
They said it was the Black Hebrew Israelite group that yelled racial slurs against the boys as well as Native Americans.
“We see no evidence that students responded with any offensive or racist statements of their own,” the investigators noted. “Some students stated that one of the chaperons reminded the students that, if they engaged in a verbal exchange with the Black Israelites, they would receive detention when returning to school.”
Some abortion activists also accused the pro-life students of making an offensive rape comment, but the investigators said the individual who made the statement on one of the videos was not a student at Covington Catholic.
The investigators also noted that Sandmann’s public statements appear to be accurate base on their other findings.
The student’s legal team said they are in the process of sending letters demanding that the entities retract their statements against the students. A list of the 52 entities can be found here.
“There was a rush by the media to believe what it wanted to believe versus what actually happened,” lawyer Todd McMurty, co-counsel for Sandmann, said previously.
For example, McMurtry told The Cincinnati Enquirer that Sandmann was accused of getting into the face of Phillips, but the full footage of the incident disproved this claim.
Despite the new evidence, left-wing activist Kathy Griffin and others have been adamant in their criticism of the teens and the teens only. There has been little condemnation of the Black Hebrew Israelite adults who shouted profanities and racial slurs at the teens and Native Americas, or of the Native American man who claimed the students got in his face when video evidence indicates that he approached them, according to Reason.
In a statement, Sandmann said he was confused by the whole incident and he smiled only to let the other protesters know that he would not be intimidated.
“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,” he said.
No Michelle Williams, Women Don’t Have to Kill Their Babies in Abortions to be Successful
Actress, Michelle Williams, implied during her Golden Globes acceptance speech yesterday evening that she couldn’t have won her award if she didn’t abort her baby years previous. Eden Linton, SPUC Youth and Education Officer said: “Welcome to 2020, where a trophy is of more value than human life and women must kill their children to achieve their dreams.”
The award ceremony, which took place yesterday evening, saw Michelle Williams accept an award for her role in television series Fosse/Verdon.
After collecting her performance award, the actress used her speech to promote a pro-abortion agenda, where she implied to the audience that aborting her baby enabled her to succeed.
Grasping her award, Williams said: “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose, to choose when to have my children and with whom.”
William’s speech was met with applause from Hollywood stars and was soon circulated on social media by abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
Miss Linton said: “Ms Williams has sent a message to young and impressionable girls all over the world that their dreams and ambitions cannot be achieved without abortion and that women must sacrifice their children in order to be successful.
“In 2020, no woman should have to sacrifice her child in order to achieve her dreams. Ms William’s message degrades women and their capabilities. In a society where celebrities are so glorified, it is extremely concerning to see statements such as these emanating from high-profile events with the ability to influence others.”
Pro-abortion Hollywood
William’s acceptance speech is not the first time that Hollywood celebrities have used their platform to promote a pro-abortion ideology.
In 2019 SPUC reported on Hollywood’s tactic to push on-screen abortion at record levels in an attempt to normalise it.

In the same year, a band of more than 40 Hollywood celebrities expressed their collective outrage over the prospect of legal protections being passed in the state of Georgia, which would safeguard unborn children from abortion. The celebrities, who included Ben Stiller, Amy Schumer and Alec Baldwin, penned a letter to the Governor of Georgia, threatening to boycott the state if legal protections for unborn children were introduced, and described the safeguards as ‘evil.’
Entertainment giants Netflix and Disney, who often market their business to very young children, protested against the prospect of unborn children being protected from abortion. Both companies issued threats to boycott the state of Georgia if legal protections for unborn children were introduced.

Abortion Activists Torch Pro-Life Advocate’s Car Outside His Home, Threaten His Children
Pro-abortion activists have set a German pro-life journalist’s car ablaze, after he encouraged readers to attend the German March for Life.
Responding to the attack, Michael Robinson, SPUC Director of Communications said: “The pro-life movement continues to make progress across Europe. However, as the pro-life movement advances, so do attacks on pro-life people. We will not be bullied into silence.”
The German journalist, Gunnar Schupelius, had his car set ablaze and the location of his home circulated by the extremist group Feministische Autonome Zelle, who are unapologetic about their violent tactics.
In an online post, the group rejoiced in the attack saying: “Every year he heavily promotes the March for Life…We torched his SUV today.” The group continued to reveal the journalist’s home location stating that he “lives there with his children.”
Mr Robinson said: “The pro-abortion lobby are attempting to frighten pro-life people into silence. We will not be intimidated as we continue our entirely peaceful work as we seek to restore a culture of life.”
The progressing peaceful pro-life movement
Peaceful pro-life demonstrations across major European cities have had record attendance numbers in recent years. Berlin’s 2019 March for Life attracted over 8000 attendees. Austria’s 2019 March for Life doubled in attendance compared to previous years with nearly 5000 in attendance, whilst the Dutch March for Life hosted 15,000 people. SPUC reported on the ground-breaking 50,000 people in attendance at the 2019 Slovakian March for Life.
Pro-life advances in the United Kingdom have also been evident. 2019 saw over 5000 people attend the London March For Life, whilst recent pro-life demonstrations in Northern Ireland attracted over 20,000 people. And SPUC’s pro-life youth conference is expected to attract a record number of attendees in 2020
In addition, 2020 commenced with a huge victory for UK pro-lifers as the country’s oldest abortion clinic based in Birmingham closed; and the increase in pro-life societies present on University campuses is being widely reported on.
The escalating attacks against pro-life people
Acts of aggression aimed at pro-life people across the country during the past year have been recorded in Manchester, Cardiff, Nottingham and London.
Mr Robinson said: “Over the past year, we have seen a rise in hostility against pro-life people by pro-abortion extremists. These attacks arise from their fear of a pro-life movement which is strong and is unmistakably advancing.”
SPUC has been reporting on the spiralling acts of aggression committed against pro-life people across the UK.
