Why are you stalking me again?

No surprise Talcum has taken his seat on the fake outrage train.

The media sure ran quickly with the veteran angle, if there is no proof he was a Vietnam Veteran, how did that come about? Ie. he told reporters.

F'ing criminal..... I hope someone figures out a way to sue all these assholes into oblivion.

"guilty until proven innocent" then still vilified even when proven innocent.

Libs do not like being wrong, and just ignore the facts when they contradict their pre-formed beliefs. For evidence, look at any of the twitter links above.

Here's a Goat-Boy reacting to the truth.

Now the whole video is out it paints a whole different story. You guys are trying to ruin a minors life when he did absolutely nothing wrong and was the one being harrassed.

Congaree Goat-Boy? @GeraldGoatrael · Jan 20
Bullsh!t. The kid was part of a mob that surrounded a couple people playing hand drums, and you’re going to claim the mob was being harassed??
Go to hell.

FatCat @sometingfishy · Jan 20
No they didnt. The kids didnt move at all. The kids were the ones approached. The kids were the ones having homophobic slurs tossed at them. The kids stood there and took it. The 2 hour video clearly shows this.

Congaree Goat-Boy? @GeraldGoatrael · Jan 20
Again....Bullsh!t. There was a situation, yes, when the Covington kids left their event to harass another group, but the Native Americans were there to diffuse it when they were then mobbed by the MAGAts.

There's a link on page two that leads to video of him saying he was a Vietnam Veteran.

Progressive Hero Nathan Phillips.

He meets every criteria.

1) Equates victimhood with virtue
2) bullshite backstory
3) Antagonist
4) Accuses others of his worst qualities

We have a winner.

So far he hasn't been caught making the claim of Vietnam Vet. He has stated in quotes an in interview either "Vietnam Times Vet" or "Vietnam Era Vet" which is a VA term for veterans during the conflict that did not serve in the war.

Right now the story is about either a lazy media or a media that intentionally tried to crank up the outrage by dropping "era".

I was looking around earlier as I was under the same impression, but that CNN interview is pretty straightforward. If he is quoted correctly there, then he is bald-faced lying.

Phillips: When I was there and I was standing there and I seen that group of people in front of me and I seen the angry faces and all of that, I realized I had put myself in a really dangerous situation. Here's a group of people who were angry at somebody else and I put myself in front of that, and all of a sudden, I'm the one whose all that anger and all that wanting to have the freedom to just rip me apart, that was scary. And I'm a Vietnam veteran and I know that mentality of "There's enough of us. We can do this."

Phillips: They were there looking for trouble, looking for something. Everybody knows the right to life and (pro-choice), it's been like this and they're hateful to each other. And it's because I'm a veteran -- I'm a Vietnam veteran -- that these two groups even have the right in this country to have protests, to have conflicting opinions. If they were doing that, they should've done that there and then when they come into public, that wasn't the place for that. That was a public forum where we was at. We were still under the protection of our permit for the indigenous peoples rally.

ETA: Looks like CNN misquoted him looking at the actual video.

Yeah this guy has problems. I'll agree he should correct the record if he in fact never served in Vietnam. And strongly condemn him lying about his MOS. That shite is weak. But if he served in the Marines in 72 then he is most certainly a Vietnam era Vet. Funny how the indignation doesn't spread to cadet bone spurs. Nothing at all wrong with that.
