Kyle Rittenhouse has put out a big warning to the media, suggesting they will be held accountable for their attacks on him:
NEWSMAX – Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager acquitted for two fatal 2020 shootings in Wisconsin, is warning media outlets that he might be filing lawsuits.
At a gathering of conservatives Monday hosted by Turning Point USA, Rittenhouse, 18, said “accountability is coming, I’d be on the lookout” — prompting cheers from the audience, the Arizona Republic reported.
In a separate interview with Fox News at the conference site, Rittenhouse was asked if he thought a trend was developing in which the media was starting to face consequences for its coverage of people like him and Nick Sandmann — who recently settled with a major network over its coverage of his viral confrontation with protester Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial in 2019.
“Good for him,” Rittenhouse told Fox News.
Rittenhouse hasn’t announced any lawsuits against heavyweights such as CNN, which also reached a settlement with Sandmann.
Rittenhouse told the packed conference — which drew about 6,700 people — that he was a scapegoat for a government effort to disarm the public, asserting he took the stand at his trial “to tell the world what happened in Kenosha, the truth, unlike with the prosecution tried to do. That’s why I took the stand,” the Republic reported.
“I think my trial was an example of them trying to come after our Second Amendment rights, our right to defend ourselves and trying to take our weapons,” Rittenhouse said, the Republic reported.
The media deserves everything they get from Rittenhouse. He’s absolutely right about them and I hope he ends up a wealthy billionaire after all of this is over. He did nothing wrong, which the court completely validated, and yet the media smeared him and turned half the country against him.
I can’t wait for the day when CNN becomes RNN, the Rittenhouse News Network. I know I know, but we can dream…
