Kyle Rittenhouse was interviewed by Fox News Tucker Carlson, his first media appearance since he was found not guilty of all five charges against him in his murder trial. In a clip from that interview released by Fox News, Rittenhouse insisted that his actions had nothing to do with race, and expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement and peaceful demonstrations.

Mark Richards, one of Rittenhouses defense attorneys, told CNNs Chris Cuomo that he didnt approve of it and threw [the film crew] out of the room several times, but he was not always the boss on decisions like that, apparently driven in part by the effort to crowdfund Rittenhouses legal defense.
In the clip that aired on Fox News on Sunday, Rittenhouse responds to critics who accused him of acting out of some kind of racial animus. Multiple commentators on MSNBC, for example, have called Rittenhouse a racist or White supremacist and MSNBC host Tiffany Cross called him a little murderous White supremacist on Sunday.

Im not a racist person, Rittenhouse said. I support the BLM movement. I support peacefully demonstrating.

Prosecutors are seeking to increase the restrictions on Kyle Rittenhouses $2 million bond agreement after he visited a bar in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, to drink and take photos with the Proud Boys. Rittenhouse, a cause célèbre on the right, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide over the deaths of two protesters and the injury of a third during the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter demonstrations. His lawyers argue he shot in self-defense. Wisconsin law allows those underage to drink in the presence of a parent, and 18-year-old Rittenhouse arrived at Pudgys Pub on Jan. 5 with his mother. There, according to prosecutors, he was loudly serenaded by the Proud Boys with a song from Aladdin and posed for photos while flashing a white power sign, making an OK with one hand. He sported a shirt reading Free as f--k. Prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday to amend his bond to prohibit him from drinking alcohol, visiting establishments where alcohol is served, and socializing with known militia or white supremacist groups.

In any case, we MUST do better going forward.

"Im not a racist person. I support the BLM movement," Kyle Rittenhouse, who was recently acquitted for murder, told Tucker Carlson.

IMO all four people in this whole thing are shitty. KR went looking for trouble and the people he shot were too. A fucked up situation with no good guys.

The victims had checkered pasts but at least were on the side of justice. Rittenhouse went to target such folks, who didn't deserve to be killed.

(6,034 posts)I've seen pictures of the Clintons, Obama, AOC and others all using it. It's time this troll stops being sited as proof of racism. One of my best memories of my me and my mother involved it and, at 60, I refuse to stop using it as it might offend someone.

It's making my head swim in confusion.

(4,790 posts)All of the things that were excluded from the criminal trial, including his obvious racism, will be admissible. Im guessing that his brand new sensitivity is coming directly from his lawyer.
