Haaland condemns students' behavior toward Native elder at Indigenous Peoples March
BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 01/19/19 12:47 PM EST
Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) condemned a group of young students for displaying "blatant hate, disrespect, and intolerance" in a viral video apparently taken during Friday's Indigenous Peoples March in Washington, D.C.
“This Veteran put his life on the line for our country,” Haaland, one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress, wrote on Twitter. “The students’ display of blatant hate, disrespect, and intolerance is a signal of how common decency has decayed under this administration. Heartbreaking.”
Haaland shared the now-viral video that was reportedly taken during the march. The Twitter video surpassed more than 2 million views in two hours.
The Hill has reached out to Haaland for further comment.
The video shows a group of dozens of mostly young men wearing President Trump’s signature red “Make America Great Again” hats and other apparel supporting the president.
