Covington Teen Says He's Lived Under Threat for Past Year

Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann has lived under "constant threat" since the day footage emerged of him standing face-to-face with a Native American man last year.

The video clips prompted widespread criticism but they did not depict the full incident, according to Fox News. It was too late though. Sandmann's name was tarnished.

Now the teen, who was dubbed the "Covington kid," is opening up about that fateful day on January 18, 2019.

Speaking with Fox Nation host Lara Logan in her multi-part series, "No Agenda with Lara Logan," Sandmann said he lives his life wondering if he will be confronted or hurt.

It is something that has plagued him since the day that he and a group of Covington students attended an anti-abortion March for Life in Washington.

That same day, the Indigenous Peoples' March was taking place and that was when Sandmann encountered a Native American elder at the Lincoln Memorial.

In videos documenting the incident, it appeared as if Sandmann and his classmates were threatening and mocking Phillips. The incomplete clips went viral and prompted a media storm

"For Nick Sandmann, he's going to be tarnished with this stigma forever — that he is some arrogant, racist kid," Logan said on "Fox and Friends" on Monday. "Because that's how he was depicted when he was at the Lincoln Memorial."

"He was accused of blocking the path of an elderly Native American and really all the history of the injustice that the Native American people have suffered was laid at Nick Sandmann's door, and he's just a 16-year-old kid," Logan continued. "It was first reported that Nathan Phillips was trying to get past him. No one ever tried to get past him. I mean there is just one lie after another."

In "No Agenda," Logan and Sandmann return to the Lincoln Memorial but the visit made Sandmann notably uncomfortable.

"He was mindful of the death threats and bomb threats against him, his home and [his attorney Todd McMurtry]," Logan narrated. "So we decided to leave. The long looks followed us on the way."

Logan asked Sandmann if he always drew such attention.

"It happens everywhere I go," he said. "From in my community to different parts of the country. Everywhere I go, there is someone that will point me out."

Logan wondered how long the scrutiny would last.

"Probably forever," he replied, "It's a constant threat and it's a terrible threat. But you can't choose to live your life in fear or they've won and they robbed you of your life."
