As we beforehand reported, Kyle Rittenhouse discovered in the present day the place the jury stood on the costs towards him. He was discovered not responsible on all counts. Understandably, he was relieved – and collapsed to the desk within the courtroom after listening to the information.
It wasn’t a shock for anybody who knew the info surrounding the case and/or who carefully adopted the trial, together with some liberals who reluctantly admitted up to now week that watching the trial modified their minds in regards to the Rittenhouse.
For different liberals, nevertheless, the heartbreak was very actual, as we documented in our “scorching takes” round-up of deranged reactions to the decision from enraged leftists who seem to need riots within the streets within the aftermath, though we’ve all been advised that assaults on the judiciary are tantamount to an revolt or one thing.
So far as President Joe Biden’s response to the breaking story, he was requested about it not lengthy after he acquired his colonoscopy earlier in the present day.
“Effectively, look. I stand by what the jury has concluded. The jury system works and we’ve to abide by it,” Biden said in regards to the verdict in response to a query from NBC Information senior White Home correspondent Kelly O’Donnell.

The remarks, although transient, have been fairly commonplace fare you’d count on to listen to from a President on such issues. What was lacking from his feedback? An apology to Rittenhouse for the occasions Biden himself smeared {the teenager} as a assassin and a white supremacist. Flashback half one:

Although for my part a full apology is owed with all of the trimmings (not fairly “Beer Summit” territory however shut), I feel at this level Rittenhouse would simply accept the 2 phrases “I’m sorry” – though he actually is inside rights to sue the hell out of Biden and each different leftist who smeared him within the battle for woke supremacy.
And relating to Biden’s swipe at Trump in these tweets about Rittenhouse? Look who turned out to be proper. Flashback half two:
