He lied but the media ignored it. It fit the narrative of hate
and character abscessation .

If you watched and compared the questions and body language of the woman interviewing these two, the interviews on television, one with Sandmann and one with Phillips, it's clear the interviewer was wholly involved in the quest to destroy the student Sandmann.
Television today, other then FOX maybe, is completely and totally unreliable as a source of information. Everything must be considered false no matter the subject. Distributing misinformation and out right lies are the standard.
Main stream media is wholly owned and operated by progressive socialist liberals dedicated to the destruction of our civil society.
Nathan Phillips Keeps Changing Story, Keeps Getting It Wrong
Native American activist Nathan Phillips has repeatedly misrepresented several facts about a viral incident between him and a group of boys from Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School that took place after Friday’s March for Life.
Phillips has continued misrepresenting the incident, even as he has changed his version of events in the face of video debunking his earlier accounts.
Phillips originally told The Washington Post the students swarmed him while he was preparing to leave the Indigenous Peoples March scheduled for the same day. Phillips originally said one student, who has since identified himself as high school junior Nick Sandmann, blocked his path from leaving as he tried to do so.
Phillips’ original account was uncritically accepted by national media outlets and quickly exploded online, in combination with a selectively edited video that showed Phillips beating his drum in front of Sandmann and a group of boisterous high school boys.
The extended video shows that wasn’t the case: Phillips approached the high school boys during their cheers, not the other way around. Some of the people with Phillips were directing racially charged language at the students, not the other way around.
Phillips told a second variation of his story to the Detroit Free Press. Phillips claimed he was playing the role of peacemaker by getting between the students and four “old black individuals,” whom he claimed the students were attacking.
“They were in the process of attacking these four black individuals,” Phillips told the Michigan paper. “I was there and I was witnessing all of this … As this kept on going on and escalating, it just got to a point where you do something or you walk away, you know? You see something that is wrong and you’re faced with that choice of right or wrong.”
“These young men were beastly and these old black individuals was their prey, and I stood in between them and so they needed their pounds of flesh and they were looking at me for that,” he added.
Extended video shows that account also isn’t accurate. The four individuals Phillips referenced were members of the Black Hebrew Israelites and they launched racist and anti-gay slurs at the high school students, not the other way around.

“The protesters said hateful things. They called us ‘racists,’ ‘bigots,’ ‘white crackers,’ ‘f——,’ and ‘incest kids.’ They also taunted an African-American student from my school by telling him that they would ‘harvest his organs,’” Sandmann, the high school junior, said in his statement.
Phillips repeatedly claimed in his interviews Sunday and Monday that some of the students he claimed had surrounded him had chanted “Build the wall.” None of the videos to emerge of the incident so far have shown any chants to that effect.
Rather than acknowledging the errors in his original stories, Phillips deflected by attacking Sandmann on Tuesday.
“He needs to put out a different statement,” Phillips said. “I’m disappointed with his statement. He didn’t accept any responsibility. That lack of responsibility, I don’t accept it.” Phillips also suggested students should be expelled over the incident he misrepresented.
“At first, I wanted the teachers and chaperones to be reprimanded—some fired—for letting this happen. For the students, I was against any expulsions, but now I have to revisit that,” he said.
