Donald Trump Jr. and Kyle Rittenhouse kicked off with a baseless claim on the Trump scion’s “Triggered” podcast on Thursday.

Rittenhouse in 2021 was found not guilty of homicide after killing two unarmed racial justice protesters in Wisconsin in 2020. He argued self-defense.

Talking with Trump Jr., Rittenhouse said the case had been “scary” because, without offering any evidence, he’d been “up against these George Soros-funded prosecutors.”

1. Junior and Killer Kyle wouldn't know George Soros if

had walked into the room...Kyle, like Junior, is pretty much reviled wherever he goes..

2. Ever notice that the party of "personal responsibility" never takes any?

Seriously, according to Rittenhouse, he bears absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for people being shot.

He obtained a gun illegally, crossed state lines with it, and pulled the trigger.

But he's being sued because of George Soros.

3. Plus antifa right? n/t

4. I read that Rittenhouse is being sued by the victims'

families. GOOD!

Will Jr loan him money for lawyers?

6. The problem with the lawsuit is the criminal verdict

Along with the fact that Rittenhouse was effectively deputized by the LEOs (who bare significant responsibility for what happened by not vetting their "deputies&quot . Obviously he had no business being there, but he was retreating when first attacked. The prosecution could never make the case that he provoked the initial attack by the presence of the rifle. The later two shootings came as he was fleeing, but he wasn't fleeing the cops, he was fleeing the crowd.

Rittenhouse is slime and those who hold him up as a hero are even worse slime. I am not sure how estoppel will fit into the trial, but a jury has already decided that the shootings were justified under the doctrine of self defense. Hope they win, but it will be a hard road getting there.

12. Estoppel doesn't fit at all.

The burden of proof is different in a civil trial than in a criminal one. So estoppel is completely irrelevant.

Had there been a conviction, it would have been helpful in proving the (easier to establish) civil claim, because the state already proved more than it would need to in a civil trial. But a finding of not guilty still leaves plenty of room between preponderance of the evidence (a feather more than 50% - the civil burden) and beyond a reasonable doubt (no reasonable person could have believed he was not guilty).

(Not to mention that the elements of civil claims are different from those in crimes.)

5. I don't understand how George Soros hasn't run out of money yet. According to right-wingers,

he has "funded" EVERY left-leaning organization, protest, media outlet, publication, etc. Why is it that I am still waiting for my Soros check?

8. And purchased 10's of 1,000,000's of Dem votes

Woo-hoo, George rocks!! Hoping to get an up-front advance payment for 2024!!

[LoisB]

9. LOL! Right.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. How have things worked out for George Zimmerman? Kyle is next.

Time for Kyle to polish his BEGGING BOWL... His future does not look all that bright when your one claim to fame is for murdering people with an AR-15.

Is still homicidal.
