Catholic leaders across the country immediately condemned Covington Catholic High School students accused of confronting and mocking a Native American elder, despite videos proving their innocence.<\/p>\n

Bishops, priests, nuns, dioceses and even the students\u2019 school condemned their actions as \u201cbigoted\u201d after a short clip of a confrontation between the students and Nathan Phillips circulated Friday on Twitter. Phillips, a Marine Corps veteran, claimed the students mocked him and other Native Americans with racist insults and pro-Trump chants.<\/p>\n

Longer videos and testimony from witnesses, however, showed the students did not mock or jeer at Phillips or chant \u201cbuild the wall,\u201d but were in fact accosted by a black supremacist group called the Black Hebrew Israelites before Phillips and his Native American colleagues approached and confronted the students.<\/p>\n
