Trump congratulates Rittenhouse on acquittal

Last edited Sat Nov 20, 2021, 02:03 PM - Edit history (1)

Former President Trump congratulated Kyle Rittenhouse after a jury found him not guilty of all charges at the conclusion of his homicide trial in Kenosha, Wis., Friday afternoon.

A jury in Kenosha acquitted Rittenhouse of all five charges brought against him, including intentional homicide. Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety after he fatally shot two men and injured a third during civil unrest in Kenosha last year.

"Congratulations to Kyle Rittenhouse for being found INNOCENT of all charges," Trump said in a statement Friday.

"It's called being found NOT GUILTY - And by the way, if that's not self defense, nothing is!" he added.

On edit: This racist piece of shit calls Kyle Rittenhouse's action self-defense but in his mind the slaying of Ashli Babbit who was leading a mob by a Capitol police officer is murder. If that wasn't self defense on the part of the cop I don't know what is.
