The 19 year old from Kentucky, became a national news story after a viral confontation between him and a far-left activists name Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.
Sandmann was wearing a “MAGA” hat when Phillips got in his face. The incident shot through media who claimed that he was racists and part of an unruly mob.
Initially, Sandmann sued NBC Universal for $257 million, saying NBC, “unleashed its vast corporate wealth, influence, and power against Nicholas to falsely attack him despite the fact that at the time, he was a 16-year-old high school student.”
After the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, Sandmann said that he should sue the media but added it would be a “personal call that’s up to him.”
CNN and the Washington Post have settled with Sandmann in 2020.
In January 2020, Sandmann settled with CNN for an undisclosed amount after also seeking $275 million.
Then, in July 2020, Sandmann announced that he had settled his lawsuit with the Washington Post.
“On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit. Thanks to @ToddMcMurtry & @LLinWood for their advocacy. Thanks to my family & millions of you who have stood your ground by supporting me. I still have more to do,” he posted on social media.
