Sandmann was engulfed in controversy back in 2019 after a video clip went viral that depicted the MAGA-hat-wearing student simply standing and smiling in the presence of Native American Nathan Phillips who was banging on his a drum and singing in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
A number of mainstream media outlets smeared Sandmann and the other students with racially charged behaviour before more details were released about the fact that a group of Black Hebrew Israelites had ignited the confrontation, spewing racial slurs at the young students as they were waiting for their bus after the March For Life event.
As a result, CNN and the Washington Post were sued for defamation, resulting in CNN having to pay Sandmann $275 million and The Post paying out $250 million in settlements.
