So, your argument is that because "racist activity" that doesn't involve a MAGA hat gets reported on that this is definitive proof that, in the Covington kids instance, the MAGA hats had nothing to do with the media reporting? Seriously tenuous, at best, Fred.

That you actually made this statement regarding the Covington kids incident is amazingly ironic.
Quote:Just because you ignore all the other parts of the video and claim it is just "a kid smiling and wearing a MAGA hat" that is not really what it was. The original video showed a mob of boys surrounding this man while they were yelling, making mocking "whooping" sounds, and doing the tomahawk chop.
This claim of yours has been thoroughly debunked in other threads, I don't know why you persist in making it. If a group of people approach and encircle me they have surrounded me. If I willingly place myself in the midst of a group of people I have inserted myself into their group, they have not surrounded me. Very poor argument here, Fred, do please stop making it.
Quote:It would have been a story even if the kid was not wearing a MAGA hat.
Possibly. However, this is yet another instance of you asking others to prove a negative, a logical fallacy we learn about in High School. We can prove something though, was the fact that he was wearing a MAGA hat commented on consistently?
