Kyle Rittenhouse wants to be mainstream media’s nightmare
Nineteen-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Tucker Carlson Tonight Tuesday that he intends to hunt down the mainstream media for their lies, and not just the ones about him.
Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of multiple murder charges last year after he shot three men, killing two, during a violent BLM riot in Wisconsin in 2020.
The jury found that Rittenhouse had acted in self-defense, despite a fierce media campaign that painted Rittenhouse as a murderous white supremacist.
In fact, all three men Rittenhouse shot were white, and one of the men, Joseph Rosenblum, was a convicted serial pedophile who shouted the N-word three times before Rittenhouse shot him.
But the media were so relentless in their “white supremacy” narrative that other news outlets around the world began reporting that Rittenhouse shot and killed three black men.
The media also tried to claim that Rittenhouse broke the law by crossing state lines with an AR-15, which was false.
The media then tried intimidating the jury. An MSNBC reporter was caught stalking the jury bus after court one day.
After all that, Rittenhouse has announced his “Media Accountability Project”.
“Me and my team have decided to launch the ‘Media Accountability Project’ as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for the lies they said and deal with them in court,” Rittenhouse told Carlson on the show.
“But I don’t want to see anybody else have to deal with what I went through, so I want to hold them accountable for what they did to me, so I don’t want to see anybody else have to go through what I went through,” continued Rittenhouse.
But the teen isn’t just going after the mainstream media – he's hitting back at anyone who tried to kick him when he was down.
Like NBA star LeBron James.
At his trial in November, Rittenhouse was recounting the events as part of his testimony. When he began describing shooting the men, he broke down in uncontrollable sobs and the court had to take a ten-minute recess.
LeBron James reacted to the video of Rittenhouse sobbing by mocking him.
“What tears????? I didn’t see one,” James tweeted. “Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”
On Frontlines, host Drew Hernandez asked Rittenhouse what his plans are for LeBron James.
“He’ll be getting a letter, too,” said Rittenhouse. “Anybody who defamed me, or lied about me, we’re just gonna send them a letter and then deal with them in a courtroom.”
