After Rittenhouse Acquittal, Support Builds For Defamation Fund: ‘Sue The CRAP Out Of Corporate Media’

KENOSHA, WISCONSIN - NOVEMBER 19: Kyle Rittenhouse enters the courtroom to hear the verdicts in his trial prior to being found not guilty on all counts at the Kenosha County Courthouse on November 19, 2021 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse was found not guilty of all charges in the shooting of three demonstrators, killing two of them, during a night of unrest that erupted in Kenosha after a police officer shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back while being arrested in August 2020. Rittenhouse, from Antioch, Illinois, claimed self-defense who at the time of the shooting was armed with an assault rifle.

Prominent conservatives are calling for Kyle Rittenhouse, cleared of murder charges on Friday, to sue corporate media outlets and others for defamation.

A jury cleared Rittenhouse of charges of intentional homicide, reckless homicide, attempted intentional homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment after a roughly two week trial and four days of jury deliberation. In the aftermath of the verdict, some supporters of the teen are pledging to donate to a fund so he could take legal action against outlets and prominent figures that called him a white supremacist and other labels without evidence.

“What happened to him in this mob justice is grotesque. Absolutely grotesque,” conservative radio host and Blaze Media CEO Glenn Beck said in a video posted to Twitter. Beck said that the media portrayal of Rittenhouse since the teen killed two men and wounded a third in self defense last year has had an irreversible negative impact on his future.

Y'know our worthless GOP leadership could benefit from crawling out of their shells long enough to praise the verdict and this kid as loudly as the rats are complaining about it.

No need to wonder why Trump is still so much more popular than any other republican figure. He's been making the rounds over the past 24 hours.
