“A Washington Post article first posted online on Jan. 19 reported on a Jan. 18 incident at the Lincoln Memorial,” the note began. “Subsequent reporting, a student’s statement and additional video allow for a more complete assessment of what occurred, either contradicting or failing to confirm accounts provided in that story — including that Native American activist Nathan Phillips was prevented by one student from moving on, that his group had been taunted by the students in the lead-up to the encounter, and that the students were trying to instigate a conflict.

Phillips es el baterista nativo americano que intentaba provocar a los estudiantes de Covington Catholic High School en DC el viernes pasado. Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips served in the U.S. Marines from 1972 to 1976 but was never deployed to Vietnam. Washington Post corrects: Native American Nathan Phillips, center of viral video incident on Mall, served in US Marines but did not serve in Vietnam.  https://t.co/H9flOJKGyk   pic.twitter.com/DJrokRosc2 — Byron York (@ByronYork)  January 22, 2019 Me he mantenido alejado de las especulaciones sobre el servicio militar de Phillip porque no había nada concreto que cuestionara sus afirmaciones.
