Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has been a controversial figure since her election but her latest tweet might be her most destructive:

Omar jumped into the Covington student controversy with a libelous tweet that the layer representing the students clapped back at with a promise to sue her (see below).

-The boys were protesting a woman’s right to choose & yelled “it’s not rape if you enjoy it”

-They were taunting 5 Black men before they surrounded Phillips and led racist chants

-Sandmann’s family hired a right wing PR firm to write his non-apology

She was responding to President Trump’s tweet supporting the teens:

Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good – maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream! – PDJT

Robert Barnes has promised to represent the student pro bono. He tweeted out a demand that Omar retract her tweet:

This is libel. Retract, or get sued. https://t.co/18DO7vHOLN — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) January 23, 2019

Barnes means business and has targeted others like Andrea Mitchell (see below) for their slanderous comments about the students.

Go get ’em, Mr. Barnes!

Barnes is for the “underdog”, according to his website:

From small-town East Ridge, Tennessee, to the elite environs of the Eastern Ivy league, Robert Barnes walks among the humble and the haughty. Traveling from the everyday to the esteemed, representing clients fighting for their civil rights and celebrities taking on the IRS, Barnes heeds the advice of his newspaper-throwing father, Walter, who was fond of reminding, “Never judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes”.

He explained on Twitter why he is helping the kids:

The reason I offered pro bono services to Covington kids is because the economics of libel litigation favors lawyer-rich defendants, unbalancing the playing field. Time to equalize the equation. #StandWithCovington #CovingtonCatholic — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) January 22, 2019

Barnes tweeted out a demand that Mitchell deletes her libelous tweet:

“This is libel, Andrea. Retract & correct”

This is libel, Andrea. Retract & correct. https://t.co/2Cs9KS7yOg — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) January 22, 2019

Barnes is standing up for the Covington students and had offered pro bono representation for them:

Yes, media needs to learn they don't solely own the First Amendment & that it is not a license to libel private citizens. https://t.co/kqhLNYrJUt — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) January 22, 2019

Andrea Mitchell might want to take the tweet down ASAP. It’s about time someone did something about the media’s fake news and malicious intent toward conservatives.

Mitchell is a known political hack who openly supported and promoted Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. We’re hoping Barnes holds Mitchell’s feet to the fire on this and on others who’ve refused to issue apologies for their comments against the students at Covington.

By now, most media people have retracted and/or apologized:

While the leftist media is still pushing the fake news that the confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial between Catholic School Students and a Native American activist was the all the fault of the students, anyone with half a brain who watches the video below will see that the Native-American activist instigated a confrontation and the students were just standing and watching.

Vanity Fair’s Michael Knowles made a great point when he broke down the three groups who were at the Lincoln Memorial:

3 groups:

1. Catholic teens minding their own business on a class trip

2. Native American demonstrators (incl. Nathan Phillips) march up, beat drums, push into center of student group, call teens “beasts”

3. Black Israelites, who condemn whites as devils

Who’s in the wrong?

The left has jumped on the fake news about the Catholic students and is running with it. A protest is scheduled in front of the Kentucky Catholic school even though it’s clear to anyone who watches the video that the teens did nothing wrong:

Matthew Schmitz posted the video on Twitter with a call for apologies from those who condemned the students:

Here is a video clearly showing that Nathan Phillips approached the students. On the basis of the evidence we now have, I believe that people who issued categorical and one-sided condemnations of the students should retract and apologize. pic.twitter.com/GxmXcMuQgC — Matthew Schmitz (@matthewschmitz) January 20, 2019

Many apologies from those who just saw part of the video are pouring in:

Meghan McCain and others like Robby Soave of Reason realized the incident was nothing like it had been portrayed in the media:

My friend @robbysoave is one of the best journalists I know… I, like many others may have reacted too quickly. Apologize for being part of a media pile on. Please read his piece. https://t.co/WhJ5auQ3TQ — Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) January 20, 2019

“These kids are owed a big apology.”

I fell for the first edited video too. It's #FakNews and these kids are owed a big apology https://t.co/e1ZZSSl2x9 — #BelieveEvidence (@MeganFoxWriter) January 20, 2019

“I jumped the gun” – Robert P. George, Princeton Professor and former Chairman, U.S. Commission on Int. Religious Freedom

I apologize to the Covington Catholic boys. What Rod Dreher says of himself goes double for me. I jumped the gun and that was stupid and unjust. It is I, not the boys, who needs to take a lesson from this. The Catholic Bonfire At The Stake https://t.co/uhYcgiLVWI via @amconmag — Robert P. George (@McCormickProf) January 20, 2019

Conservatives who had condemned the students overwhelmingly came out to apologize. Leftist anchor Jake Tapper came out with a tweet that included a quote from an article that refutes the claim by Mr. Phillips that he was harassed by the students.

This is the second big misstep by the media in just a few days except this is one that is harming children. The media should be held accountable for this colossal mistake.
