Kyle Rittenhouse tells Fox News he’s ‘not a racist person,’ backs BLM movement

Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted of charges stemming from killing two men and wounding another during the unrest that followed the shooting of a Black man by a white police officer, says in a new interview that he’s “not a racist person” and supports the Black Lives Matter movement.

Rittenhouse was 17 last year when he traveled 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, which had been racked with protests in the wake of the Aug. 23 shooting of Jacob Blake. The incident and the response in Kenosha — protests that turned destructive — became part of the national reckoning over police use of force against Black people following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis the previous May at the hands of police.

The shootings quickly made Rittenhouse a rallying cry for supporters of Second Amendment rights and those angered by the sometimes violent protests seen in some American cities after Floyd’s death. “I’m not a racist person. I support the BLM movement, I support peacefully demonstrating,” Rittenhouse tells Carlson in excerpts of the interview released by Fox News ahead of its airing.

🙄

Yup my favorite activitity as a 17 year old was to head out to a nearby city with a loaded gun to 'defend' it from the movement I 'supported'.

Is that suppose to be reassuring…?

You lost me at Fox news.

Guess he won’t be on Fox much longer.

No matter how the media spins it, he was not found guilty. Is this a turning point? Probably. Next year’s elections will tell the tale. The lefty agenda is dead.

He shook his head “no” while saying he supports BLM

There goes his Congressional clerkship w Matt Gaetz.

Not a racist, just stupid.

sorry he cannot rebrand himself, why are you so eager for clicks
