When approached for comment by Newsweek, Rittenhouse simply replied: "That Newsweek is gay."

Can we stop giving this little shit attention now?

"You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded."

This idiot can't even muster up Idiocracy level insults.

We need to stop giving this shit bag air time.

In a better world, this kid would be a felon, in jail for murder (or at least manslaughter) and would never be able to use a gun again.

Our joke of a justice system led us here

Interesting that one can view his Twitter without signing on. I feel like I've tried to see non alt right profiles and was asked to log in before.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Rittenhouse gained notoriety in August 2020 when, at the age of 17, he shot and killed two men—Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26—as well as injured then-26-year-old Paul Prediger, then known as Gaige Grosskreutz, after rioting broke out following a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

"I felt like John Wick but I looked like Paul Blart [laugh crying emoji]," the pro-gun activist captioned the clip.

Rittenhouse was hit with a wave of criticism on social media in June after sharing a post in which he baselessly stated that President Joe Biden "is gay."

When contacted for comment, Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz told Newsweek in an emailed statement at the time: "Happy Pride, Kyle."

He then doubled down on his "gay" comment when he used it to refer to Vice President Kamala Harris and gun control activist David Hogg.

Hogg uploaded a photo of him and Harris speaking to each other on X, adding the caption: "Thank you for your work on gun safety @KamalaHarris @VP."
