- Native American activist Nathan Phillips told NBC's "Today" that he doesn't think Nick Sandmann's comments about their encounter Friday were sincere.
- He believes they were written by the public relations firm Sandmann's family hired.
- He still forgives Sandmann and other students at his school after they surrounded Phillips and his group, some seeming to make racist "tomahawk chop" gestures and mocking Native American war cries.
- Phillips is still upset at the adult chaperones overseeing the kids at their anti-abortion protest.
Native American activist Nathan Phillips said he doesn't believe Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann's comments about his experience at the center of a viral encounter between them — but he still forgives him.
"Coached and written up for him. Insincerity. Lack of responsibility. Those are the words I came up with, but then I went to go pray about it," Phillips told Savannah Guthrie on NBC's "Today" show Thursday. "And then I woke up, and I woke up with this forgiving heart. So I forgive him."
