A Kentucky high school student says he has settled a $250 million
lawsuit with the Washington Post on his 18th birthday after he sued
them claiming they made him out to be a racist following his stand-off
with a Native American protester.
Nicholas Sandmann, a student at Covington Catholic High School, tweeted that the news outlet had settled the defamation lawsuit on Friday, which also happens to be his birthday.
Sandmann filed lawsuits against the Post, CNN and NBC after claiming the outlets vilified him following his stand-off with Nathan Phillips, an American Indian activist, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in January 2019.
Sandmann, who was wearing a MAGA hat, and his classmates were participating in the annual anti-abortion March for Life, at the time.

Wonder how much he got? I am sure it will leak out eventually. I think he still has four more pending.
