After three days of lying about the Catholic kids at Covington High School, it appears that the media is not done lying about them yet. This time a false report about the kids wearing “blackface” at a school basketball game is being circulated as if it is recent.

The media has been working over time to destroy these teenagers since the fake news video that liberals claimed showed a group of Catholic school boys from Kentucky mocking a group of Native Americans. It turns out it was all a lie.

But the lies keep on coming. The latest lie came from the New York Daily News:

Trending: Postal Worker Pulls Knife, Punches 84-Year-Old Woman For Supporting Trump A photo said to be featuring Covington Catholic High School students clad in blackface during a 2015 basketball game made the rounds on Twitter Monday morning amid last week’s Indigenous Peoples March controversy. take our poll - story continues below Will You Be Voting In Person November 3rd?

The paper pointed to an out-of-context tweet by another leftist liar:

VIDEO: https://t.co/pFgrJA1N0Q From :06 to 1:06 you can see a teacher or coach of #CovingtonCatholic leading the teens in a chant– several of the Covington students are in blackface. At this game, black players on the opposing team were verbally abused. pic.twitter.com/gqyNRUjYXD — Marcus Henry Weber (@MarcusHWeber) January 21, 2019

But a former student of the high school notes that this is all fake news. The black-out game was not held in 2015 like the paper claims.

According to former Covington student Ryan Toler, that game depicted in the Tweet was from 2012.

Lmaoooo. I was at this game SEVEN YEARS AGO. SEVEN! I’m shown in the background of this image. ITS CALLED A BLACKOUT THEME. WE HAD SCHOOL SPIRIT. WE DO THIS TO EVERY SCHOOL NO MATTER THE RACE OR ETHNICITY. Stop trying to force a fake story to drive your false narrative. https://t.co/9CRZZFxpeW — Ryan Toler (@ryantoler_) January 22, 2019

Further, it had nothing to do with “racism.”

The school has held all sorts of game themes. Hawaiian themes, white-out days, and games where everyone is painted in blue from head to toe.

Other students also jumped to Twitter to knock down the media lies:

That was my first game my senior year of high school. I was #32. Blackout was the theme. These people are out of their minds. — Andrew S (@andrewcch12) January 22, 2019

Correction. I graduated in 2011. We also played them our first game. My mistake. Still. This is me in my senior year. We did blackout my final game of regionals. pic.twitter.com/HHVByDoEVe — Andrew S (@andrewcch12) January 22, 2019

It’s all just another example of the left trying to smear these innocent kids.
