So saying the kid "knowingly wore a controversial hat" is a false narrative?

Was he forced to wear the hat to the event?

Was there someone behind him at gunpoint forcing him to wear the hat?

Strange times when the woke left is arguing that someone deserved it because of what they were wearing...

The Covington case was naked woke hysteria, there is no way around it. Particularly because even after the details came out, people were still doubling down and making excuses for everyone else there.

The hat is the official merch of your current sitting president. The way it's treated as an overt symbol of hate is insane, and only makes stunts like "it's ok to be white" all the more poignant. Clearly it's not ok in the eyes of some, and vice versa, having colored skin can excuse harassment and racism.

Why? Hatred (as in the speech the cameraman was filming) is the overt policy of the President.

The emperor isn't naked, he just has a really bad hat - but we have to point out what we see, no matter how many people are wanting to intimidate us into not seeing it.

I've been unable to find a transcription of his speech. What hatred was he espousing?
