The Patriot Post® · Leftist Haters Respond to Rittenhouse

In the Kenosha case of Kyle Rittenhouse, as covered by our Douglas Andrews, after 15 days of trial and four days of deliberation, he was found not guilty on all five counts. Clearly, in each case, the young defendant was defending himself against repeated assaults by thugs.

Moments after the verdict, Joe Biden, who seeded the libelous claims that Rittenhouse was “militia” and a “white supremacist” the day after his assault, said: “The verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included.”

Biden added this load of BS: “I ran on a promise to bring Americans together, because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.” Seriously, he said that. As I wrote on the day of Biden’s inauguration in “The Great Uniters?” Biden and his socialist Democrat Party have built their entire political empire on a foundation of division and hatred. His “white supremacy bogeyman” is the latest manifestation of that lie.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) responded, “Joe Biden needs to publicly apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse.” Of course, he won’t apologize.

Biden’s sidekick Kamala (at least for the moment) whined: “The verdict really speaks for itself. As many of you know, I’ve spent a majority of my career working to make the criminal-justice system more equitable, and clearly, there’s a lot more work to do.” By “more equitable” she means “more unjust,” and despite her “majority of my career” claim, she was in fact once an effective prosecutor who jailed a lot of offenders — mostly black offenders.

Among other Democrats who piled on was Marxist black supremacist and BLM activist Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), who declared the verdict was “white supremacy in action,” adding: “This system isn’t built to hold White supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while White supremacists murderers walk free.” Her squad sidekick, the Jew-hating Rep. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (D-MN), an extraordinary wordsmith, promoted the conclusion that the verdict was “f**ked up.”

Attempting to reignite the Kenosha rage, Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Demos’ congressional funding arm, declared, “It’s disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man.”

Fact-check, please — oh wait, that is a tool the Leftmedia and Big Tech only use to suppress conservative views.

Maloney’s claims are baloney! Jacob Blake was a violent assailant whose shooting by police was used by Democrats and their so-called “Black Lives Matter” radicals to set Kenosha ablaze and to fuel riots nationwide in the summer of 2020. Memo to Maloney: Blake was NOT killed — he is very much alive. By his own admission, he was carrying a weapon, and his shooting *was *ruled justifiable. The officer who shot Blake was exonerated by both state and federal prosecutors. But no need to let the facts get in the way of your inflammatory fiction.

Amazingly, ABC News also declared Blake dead after the verdict was read: “This city was traumatized by the police killing of a black man, Jacob Blake.”

NAACP President Derrick Johnson reminded his “victim constituency” that the verdict was a “travesty” that “sets a dangerous precedent,” adding, “This verdict is a reminder of the treacherous role that white supremacy and privilege play within our justice system.”

Ah, yes, the “systemic racism” lie Demos and their co-conspirators used to foment their pre-election summer of rage, which resulted in the Kenosha riots. Fact is, Biden and Harris, and their congressional tag team Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, are guilty on all counts for inflaming that hatred and division, resulting in almost 50 deaths and billions in property damages.

To that end, MSNBC, which had been booted from the Kenosha courtroom for attempting to intimidate the jurors during deliberation, insisted in its post-verdict banner, “Jury finds killer at BLM rally is not guilty.” Got that? The Kenosha riots were actually just “BLM rallies” — you know, peaceful demonstrations.

MSNBC’s unhinged TDR inflicted host Tiffany Cross, referred to Rittenhouse as a “little murderous white supremacist.”

Of course, the SPLC race-baiters had to get in on the act. Margaret Huang asserted, “That a white male youth can travel across state lines, armed with an assault rifle, and engage in armed confrontation resulting in multiple deaths without facing criminal accountability, is the all too familiar outcome in a country where systemic racism continues to rot the system.”

Fact check, please — it is not an “assault rifle,” and Rittenhouse did not “travel across state lines armed.”

Those claims are among a litany of lies about this case, propagated by leftist politicos and their Leftmedia propagandists over the last year.

Recall that last week, Biden’s spokesparrot Jen Psaki declared, “We shouldn’t have … vigilantes patrolling our communities with assault weapons.”

So, Democrat hate hustlers and their media public relations cabal can foment racial division and violence, undermine law enforcement authority and capabilities, and then insist that people who endeavor to defend others or themselves are “vigilantes.” Only in the oxymoronic annals of demented left-logic does this nonsense make sense.

Biden and his cadre, while pretending to be peacemakers, had only limited success promoting post-verdict violence. There were sporadic flare-ups in Kenosha (unlike August of last year, November is cold in Wisconsin), but protesters were safe under the protection of a father and his 16-year-old daughter, both carrying “assault weapons” next to the protest line. But there were more disruptive protests in New York and Portland.

On a sane note regarding the verdict, the Wall Street Journal editorial board concluded: “The conduct of prominent figures in presuming Mr. Rittenhouse’s guilt was disgraceful (social-media platforms also censored posts in his defense). But against such polarizing civic conduct from elites stands the admirable performance of 12 non-famous Wisconsinites, who diligently listened to evidence and arrived at a verdict that deserves respect.”

Meanwhile, the head of the Rittenhouse defense team, Mark Richards, slammed the usual suspects for disgracefully trying to cash in on the verdict: “There’s a lot of people trying to profit on this, and I don’t think people should. They’re raising money on it, and you have all these Republican congressmen saying, ‘Come work for me.’ They want to trade on his celebrity, and I think it’s disgusting.” Unfortunately, but predictably, a couple of showboat “conservatives,” Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), are at the head of the opportunist line.

Finally, what’s next for Kyle Rittenhouse? Richards, after ripping CNN and MSNBC lies about his client, indicated his client is suffering PTSD and that he plans to leave the area because of death threats. He may soon have the financial capability for treatment and resettlement. Another legal team is forming in order to file a series of libel civil suits against the recklessly irresponsible mainstream media and a disgracefully defamatory Joe Biden.

In a post-verdict interview, Rittenhouse said of Biden’s slanderous “white supremacist” characterization, “It’s actual malice, defaming my character, to say something like that.” He added: “This case has nothing to do with race. It never had anything to do with race. It had to do with the right to self-defense.” Recall that Biden was a candidate, not president when making those inflammatory claims, which is to say he does not have presidential immunity from libel charges.
