As recently as Monday, Native American protester Nathan Phillips was refusing to meet with Covington Catholic students as he continued to smear them with help from left-wing media outlets.
At that time, Cincinnati restauranteur Jeff Ruby offered to pay to fly Phillips – first-class – to his restaurant to “break bread and make amends” with the high school boys the protester had previously called “beasts.”
