The Today Show has just released a snippet from their interview tomorrow with Nick Sandmann and it’s full of ughh.
Not because of Sandmann, but because of host Savannah Guthrie who asks him if he owes anyone an apology and if he “sees” his own fault in the confrontation.
Watch:
"Do you feel from this experience that you owe anybody an apology? Do you see your own fault in any way?”

If this is any indication of how the full interview went, then the whole thing is gonna be cringeworthy. Again, not because of Sandmann.
The media smeared him and his fellow students all weekend, and some are still doing it. And Guthrie wants to ask him if he sees his own fault? Is she kidding?
Guthrie’s question is actually a great question…for the MEDIA. They absolutely owe these students and their families an apology. Seriously. But they probably don’t see it that way because they can’t see their own fault.
I know Sandmann is young and he’s been thrust into a negative spotlight, but the people around him should have told him NOT to do these kind of interviews. I just don’t see an upside for him at all. In fact it’ll probably lead to him being attacked and smeared even more.
I’ll post the full interview in the morning when we get it.
