Nick Sandmann, who already got a little richer after fake news CNN settled their defamation and libel lawsuit out of court of a bunch of money, he’s even richer now, settling with the Washington Post that falsely smeared him. Figures were not disclosed, but it’s likely Sandmann got several million dollars to settle his lawsuit with the Washington Post.
Hey McCloskey family of St. Louis. You see how it’s done? The media has slandered and libeled your wife over protecting your home without firing a shot. I suggest you hire Lin Wood and sue these same communist media groups like Nick Sandmann did.

In a week where some in the liberal media appear to be rooting for the coronavirus as it’ll hurt the President’s agenda and his reelection prospects, recent Covington Catholic High School graduate Nicholas Sandmann racked up another legal win against these same partisan tools that tried to ruin his life.
After settling with CNN six and a half months ago, Sandmann announced Friday (and on his 18th birthday) in a tweet he’s settled a defamation suit with The Washington Post for their coverage after he was confronted on January 18, 2019 at the National Mall by far-left Native American activist Nathan Phillips.
Speaking to our friend Joseph Wulfsohn at FoxNews.com, a Post spokesperson said, “[w]e are pleased that we have been able to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the remaining claims in this lawsuit.”
Four days after the incident, the MRC’s Kyle Drennen labeled The Post’s coverage “ugly” and noticed how their retelling of events were “based only on the Native American activist’s lies about being ‘surrounded’ by the Covington kids” and was accompanied by a column connecting Sandmann and his classmates to “[t]he Catholic Church’s shameful history of Native American abuses.”
In another article Drennen flagged, The Post condemned the “smirking” Sandmann while conceding that there was a “[f]uller view emerg[ing].”
As Sandmann noted, there are still a number of suits still out there. In March, Sandmann and his lawyers announced that they would be suing ABC, CBS, Gannett (the nation’s largest newspaper chain, anchored by USA Today), The New York Times, and Rolling Stone.
