Lefty media and pols have fallen into a Kyle Rittenhouse trap
By Thomas Lifson
Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse already is turning into a nightmare for the progressives who immediately demonized him. The seventeen-year-old boy who traveled to Kenosha with his semi-automatic rifle to defend property from mob destruction appeared at first to be a perfect example of what novelist Tom Wolfe called “The Great White Defendant†in his satirical novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities. Kyle’s white (strike one), he carried a semi-automatic “assault rifle†(strike two), he loves the police (strike three), and even worse, he shot three people demonstrating against allegedly racist cops (by burning and looting businesses of people innocent of anything other than owning a business).
Those committed to the narrative cops hunting down innocent blacks, aka “systemic racism,†knew in their bones that he had to be a “white supremacist,†and said so right away.

A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.
He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.
Fix your damn headlines.
