Gaining popularity

Nick Sandmann gained popularity on January 18, 2019, when a video of him went viral. That day, Nick visited Washington DC, on a trip organized by his high school to attend the March for Life rally.

At the same time, another rally was taking place at the same time by the Indigenous people named Indigenous People’s March. The incident happened at the Lincoln Memorial ^[1]when the high school student Nick Sandmann came face to face with the war veteran and native American protester Nathan Phillips.

Prior to the confrontation, Sandmann and his friends claim they were waiting for the bus to pick them up after the rally when a group of Black Hebrew students started taunting them. Nathan Phillips took the side of the Black Hebrew students and started defending them.

This is when Sandmann came face-to-face with Phillips and stared at him. Sandman is also seen wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ baseball cap. The video of the encounter went viral overnight, receiving millions of views and shares.

Major media outlets disseminated the video of the confrontation, displaying Nick Sandmann as aggressive and violent. However, later videos showed that media companies left out important details of the incident. Also, the incident caught the attention of then-President Trump, who stated that the media falsely portrayed Sandmann.

The Sandmann family and the Covington Catholic School students suffered threats a year after the inaccurately presented incident in the video. The school temporarily closed because they feared for their students' safety.

Nick is not married, but is in a long-term relationship with a former classmate, which some sources claim is Cate Evans, and some say it’s Julie.

Another similar viral video involved 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse clashing with a Native American, dubbing the teenager a “white supremacist”. Nick publicly encouraged Kyle to file a lawsuit against the media channels for spreading false information.

After Nick’s statement, the judge in Kyle’s case ruled that the news outlets should be held responsible for poor and irresponsible reporting on media trials.
