Excerpt from the article:

Kyle Rittenhouse has made it clear he will not be casting his vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. Instead, Rittenhouse, known for his role as the Outreach Director for Texas Gun Rights, announced he would be writing in former Texas congressman Ron Paul as his choice for President of the United States.

In a video shared on his X account (formerly Twitter), the 21-year-old explained his decision, saying, “Hi, I’m Kyle Rittenhouse, Outreach Director for Texas Gun Rights. A lot of people are upset that I said that I’m going to be writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States, and that is true, I will be writing in Ron Paul.”

Rittenhouse cited Trump’s stance on the Second Amendment as his primary reason for not supporting him. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors, making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue,” he stated. “If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you, and I will write somebody else in. We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights would be eaten away and eroded each day. I support my decision and I have no takebacks.”




After all what President Trump and his supporters did for him?
I can stomach a lot of things - but backstabbing millions who supported you at your lowest point. Then turning on Trump right after he got shot.

Kyle Rittenhouse used a social media video message to announce he will not vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.

Instead, Rittenhouse says he will write in Ron Paul for president.

Rittenhouse, the Outreach Director for Texas Gun Rights, said, “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors, making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue.”

He added, “If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you, and I will write somebody else in. We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights would be eaten away and eroded each day. I support my decision and I have no takebacks.”

In another X post, Rittenhouse reposted an message from National Association for Gun Rights director Dudley Brown, wherein Brown criticized Trump’s Second Amendment stance as well.

What’s disgusting is these people, these sycophants.  They are more loyal to a man than a principle, than the Constitution, and that is exactly how I’ve felt all along.

So what if Rittenhouse says Trump is wrong, which he is?  You can still vote for Trump and still admire a kid who actively went in, ready to defend, involved in a fight, threatened from every angle with no secret service.

These people cannot do 2 things at once.  I don’t adore Trump as they do but I would support him (what choice do I have).  I also continue to support Kyle.

What slavish sycophants.

Many years ago, I went through a phase where I refused to vote for the candidates of either party, and voted 3rd party.  But in reality, when the 3rd party candidate has zero chance of winning, one must assess who is the best candidate of the two primary parties.

Trump by far is not perfect.  But it is Trump, who will do some good things, or voting for Harris, a born and bred Marxist who will elevate Biden's policies for the complete destruction of the USA.  You think inflation is high now, vote Harris, she will take inflation to above 20%.  Gas will be $10 per gallon, and she will work for it to go to $20 per gallon.  Count on it.  Much of America will face starvation.  Count on it.

If you want a POTUS that you get to see once a quarter, vote Harris.  Unemployment will shoot up to double digit with Harris.  She is the absolute worst candidate ever in the USA history.  She brings us closer to Venezuela, or even worse in four years.

Ron Paul is an old man, and he is NOT looking to get back in politics.  His days in the sun are over.

Kyle Rittenhouse is 21, he is lucky to find his posterior on a good day.  And in 20 years, maybe he will learn to use his brain, but he certainly should not influence people any more than that moron from Sweden Greta Thunberg does in regard to climate change.  Another idiot!!!

Rittenhour's at the Young Americans for Liberty National Convention in Orlando right now, which is organized and hosted by the Pauls.  I've got some good friends attending the event, and they're saying that the people there are now tearing themselves apart over Rittenhour's initial statement and then his flipflop...i.e. the Trump supporters pretty much went to war with the old school Paul supporters...total bloodletting going on, which apparently led to Rittenhour quickly backtracking.  And now the Paul troops are furious with him for throwing Ron under the bus at the behest of Trump.

Kyle Rittenhouse CAVES, Endorses Trump After Saying He’d ‘Write In’ Ron Paul

Trending Politics
August 2, 2024

After a series of conversations with former President Donald Trump’s campaign team, conservative influencer and Second Amendment advocate Kyle Rittenhouse has decided to back Trump for president. In the early hours of Friday morning, Rittenhouse posted a video to social media platform X, stating that he would be writing in former Congressman Ron Paul on his ballot in November instead of voting for Trump. His reasoning concerned the issue closest to his heart, which is the Second Amendment.

“Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights. My comments made last night were ill-informed and unproductive. I’m 100% behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back to the White House,” Rittenhouse’s post read.

Caves is the correct term... Kyle was right to acknowledge that Trump is a fake on the 2nd Amendment...

During his alleged “pro-Second Amendment” presidency, Trump:

    Openly embraced Nancy Pelosi’s gun-control agenda
https://www.stridentconservative.com/nancy-pelosis-anti-gun-agenda-is-supported-by-trump-and-the-gop/

    Banned bump stocks via executive order

https://thefederalist.com/2018/12/19/trump-administrations-new-bump-stock-ban-legal-abomination/

    Pushed for enhanced background checks

https://www.stridentconservative.com/enhanced-background-checks-a-prelude-to-gun-confiscation-and-more/

    Proposed expanding red flag laws on a national level

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/375432-trump-mulling-red-flag-orders-to-remove-guns-from-those-found-to-be-a/

As someone who proved to be a threat to the entire Constitution, Trump also went after other parts of the Bill of Rights — such as the right to privacy and the right to due process — to advance his pro-gun control, anti-Second Amendment agenda:

    He suggested that law enforcement ignore due process rights to make it easier to seize guns
    Proposed forcing social media companies to develop tracking tools to “detect mass shooters before they strike”
   
His DOJ took Google and Apple to court in an attempt to force them to turn over personal information of users of a phone app that calibrates rifle scopes.

 Proposed creating a phone app to conduct remote background checks via the NICS system, giving government greater access to personal information without due process and eventually leading to the creation of a de facto national gun registry.

I have a feeling a similar thing but on a larger scale is going to take place in the GOP after Nov
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

   He's a young kid.  He's learning the hard way about the 2nd Commandment, maybe if it was written in 2 Corinthians, he's get it quicker.
