Breitbart: Covington Catholic high school student Nick Sandmann, who was viciously smeared by the establishment media and has won settlements from the Washington Post and CNN, will speak at the Republican National Convention (RNC), Trump campaign and RNC officials confirmed to Breitbart News exclusively.
In addition to Sandmann, campaign and Convention officials confirmed to Breitbart News what the Washington Post reported previously, that the St. Louis couple Mark and Patricia McCloskey will speak at the RNC next week. In addition, Andrew Pollack—whose daughter Meadow was killed in the Parkland shooting at Stoneham Douglas High School in February 2018—will speak at the Convention, a Trump campaign official confirmed to Breitbart News. Abby Johnson, a former clinic director at Planned Parenthood who is now a leading pro-life activist, will also speak at the Convention, as will South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and GOP candidate for U.S. House and veteran Sean Parnell.
Sources familiar with the plans told Breitbart News that each of these cases—in particular, those of Sandmann, the McCloskeys, Pollack, and Johnson—illustrate the potentially disastrous consequences of Democrat governance. more
…it’s brave, but kind of stupid on his part, as bravery tends to be…his lawsuits are succeeding because he’s NOT a public figure…addressing a political convention on national television MAKES him a public figure…he will then be fair game for all the media he has humbled, and they will be SAVAGE in their vengance, and the milquetoasts he is addressing will LET them, as they ALWAYS do, for fear the Evil Eye will notice THEM cowering in the shadows NEXT…
…God Bless him for trying, it’s more balls than most Republicans usually show right THERE, but he’s a young man and I’m just not sure he’s thought this through and may not even KNOW his danger…
He seems like a good kid. Impresses me as a young man who thinks beyond himself.
The convention welcomes one of the young conservative multi-millionaires! {snicker}
Is the idiot pounding the drum in his face scheduled for the Dem convention? Last I heard, which was about the time I tuned them out the guy was some sort of war hero and stuff.
He shall go down in history as the conservative teen the liberal media made filthy rich! 🙂
Giving up more of your right to privacy kid. Only know who he is because trouble found him. Why put yourself out there looking for it?
@JDH: As I remember, drum man was Marine reservist who was a refrigerator or other appliance repairman, NOT a combat vet. He also has a criminal record: https://nypost.com/2019/01/24/native-american-activist-nathan-phillips-has-a-criminal-record/

Hey SNS, from what I know it depends on whether Sandman was a pubic figure at the time of the libel, obviously he’s become a public figure after he was attacked and libeled. He’ll be fine with his lawsuits.
I imagine Nicholas Sandman knows more about what he is getting into than any of us could believe.
He may still be feeling righteous indignation at how he was treated, and having survived and profited, he will not be silenced.
He is not afraid, and he will not be intimidated.
I applaud his courage.
