The Onion called it with their headline: “Kyle Rittenhouse Sentenced to 45 Years of CPAC Appearances,” published just after Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges, including homicide, stemming from when he shot and killed two people and injured a third during a racial justice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Mere hours after the jury announced the not guilty verdicts and The Onion published its not-so-satirical headline, Fox News announced that Tucker Carlson landed an exclusive interview with Rittenhouse, which will almost certainly cement the teen’s place in right-wing culture as a conservative darling and future pundit.
Great. I hope he announces the lawsuits against all parties culpable of defaming him including Bishop Talbert Swan, Morgan J. Freeman, Bill de Blasio, Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
No surprise here, he is the new White Supremest/Christian Nationalist poster boy. Look for this kind of violence to become commonplace at demonstrators going forward.
Where’s the evidence of Rittenhouse being a Christian nationalist or a white supremacist?
@Heavykevy1985 The lies they spew on CNN and MSNBC.
@Heavykevy1985 A person doesn't have to actually be a Christian nationalist or white supremacist for then to use him or her as a poster child to further their cause(s).
As an example, republicans are often hit with cease and desist orders from musicians, vocalists and rock bands for using their music at political events without permission.
@Heavykevy1985 he didn’t come to Kenosha armed to join the BLM protestors. You tend to be the company you keep, even if not a card carrying member.
@snytiger6 no your implication is that he is one. Whether people want to use him or not for their aimed goals is out of his control.
@Barnie2years What company would that be? He was there with other volunteers cleaning graffiti, administering first aid, and putting out fires. I would say it is good company to be with people that care about their communities.
