Meghan McCain Among Those Begging Forgiveness After Attacking MAGA Teens

It was the hate crime of the century.

Or so some in the media appeared to think, judging by the condemnations and mass hysteria that followed initial footage of a group of Covington Catholic High School students — some of whom were wearing MAGA hats — supposedly harassing an older Native American man.

Except, what may have seemed to be one thing at first turned out to be something else altogether:

As details emerged, some individuals and outlets who had been quick to condemn the students retracted their words and even apologized.

National Review published a scathing piece by its deputy managing editor, Nicholas Frankovich.

The outlet pulled the article on Sunday and published an explanation by editor Rich Lowry.

“Anyway, if not a hoax, this at the very least was not what it initially seemed,” Lowry wrote. “I deleted my original tweet and we also took down a strongly worded post by my colleague Nick Frankovich that relied on the incomplete video. It’s another reminder — even for an old hand like me — that it’s best not to make snap judgments and to wait for all sides of a controversy to have a chance to be heard.”

Dilbert creator Scott Adams apologized in person, with coffee.

Reason editor Robby Soave did his research and eventually called the story a “rush to judgment.”

  • Geghan McCain should have known better than to run her mouth before knowing all the facts. That is her fault. I suppose she has learned that lesson, but we will see later on. For those that don’t retract the story and apologize, I hope they are taken for many millions of dollars by the kids. The MSM needs a good stiff lesson in journalism.
