Yes, they were even forced to walk it back https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/22/opinion/covington-teenagers-twitter.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/22/opinio

  "Forced to walk it back" is an oddly condemnatory way to describe admitting to a mistake. Granted the mistake has already been made, surely it's a good thing to own up to it?

    No, the pattern of slander an individual, wait for the story to pass then apologise later once the damage is done and a litigious response is coming to bear (claiming it was a "mistake" or whatever excuse is necessary) is a tactic used by scum and defended by the same.
