A student accused of taunting a Native American veteran at a rally claim one of their African-American friends was racially abused at the same event.
Nathan Phillips, 64, was singing the American Indian Movement song of unity near Friday's March for Life when he was surrounded by the teens who he claimed were chanting 'build that wall, build that wall'.
Philips said he felt threatened by the teens and that they suddenly swarmed around him as he and other activists were wrapping up the march and preparing to leave the Lincoln Memorial.
Some protesters (pictured) at the March for Life Rally on Saturday racially abused students from Covington Catholic School who were at the same event
The protester shouts 'Get out n****r at an African-American student (right) a number of times
The encounter took place at an anti-abortion March for Life rally in the capital on Friday.
But footage emerged of another group of protesters shouting obscenities and racist abuse at a black teenager from Covington Catholic school in Kentucky. Some of the protesters were African-American.
A student posted a link to footage of four or five African-American protesters shouting at the students and some obscenities which were bleeped out.
In response one of the students shouts back 'Woah, that's racist.'
One of the men shouts at the student: 'When you get old enough they're gonna steal your organs.'
He then seemingly shouts at the African - American student from Covington County: 'Get out n****r, get out, have you seen the movie?'
A student can be heard shouting back: 'Why are you being mean?'
The man shouting racist slurs was referring to Get Out, a racially-charged horror movie which tells the story of a young black man who meets the family of his white girlfriend.
In a letter posted on Twitter by a priest named Fr. Jim Sichko, the unnamed student said that his friend who came face to face with Philips as Philips stood singing and beating his drum, now faces expulsion for 'a crime he didn't commit.'
He claimed his school attends the March for Life rally in D.C. every year and they had been asked to meet at the Lincoln Memorial at 5.30pm.
The students from Covington County school had been told to gather at the Lincoln Memorial
As an all-male school he said the group like to get 'hyped up', adding that their cheer name section is Colonel Crazies.
The student wrote: ' After that initial occurrence [with Philips], we were then verbally assaulted by four or five African-American men who called us 'f*****s' and berated one of our African-American students for being friends with us.
'The truth needs to come out. A great injustice has been done, and it is our duty to see that the truth prevails.
The protester made reference to the 2017 horror movie Get Out when he racially abused a young African American student from Covington County School
'Additionally, Mr. Philips has a history of claiming racial harassment. I am by no means disparaging his credibility, but this should be taken note of.'
It is unclear to which religious group the men belonged, but they could be heard quoting passages from the Old Testament.
Meanwhile, the mother of the student seen standing face to face from Nathan Philips claimed 'black Muslims' had been harassing the group of supporters from the private, all-male Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky.
A student from the school wrote a letter to say they hadn't physically or verbally abused anyone
In an email to the news website heavy.com, she wrote: 'Did you hear the names of the people were calling these boys? It was shameful.
'Did you witness the black Muslims yelling profanities and video taping to get something to further your narrative of hatred??.
'Did you know that this ‘man’ came up to this one boy and drummed in his face?.'
The apparent intimidation of Mr Phillips, meanwhile, has prompted a torrent of outrage.
In another video Phillips can be seen approaching the students as they stood around chanting
Democratic congresswoman Deb Haaland, a member of New Mexico’s Laguna Pueblo tribe, tweeted that the students had shown 'blatant hate, disrespect, and intolerance.'
Covington Catholic High and the Diocese of Covington released a statement Saturday condemning the student's action.
It said: 'We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18, after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C.,].
'We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips. This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person.
'The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
