The judge presiding over the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial is once again at the center of a firestorm, this time for a strange statement about lunch.

“I hope the Asian food isn’t coming... isn’t on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor,” Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder told the court on Thursday, possibly referring to the recent logjam at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It was not immediately clear why Schroeder, who is presiding over a racially-charged case in Wisconsin, might make a joke about a port problem in California and Asian food.

The bizarre moment immediately spurred new outrage against a judge whose cranky demeanor and alleged bias in favor of the white defendant have been points of contention throughout the murder trial of a white teen who killed three people. Civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson tweeted: “It’s pretty clear that this man should not be a judge of anything.”

12. Doesn't have to be dementia.

I think he's just a racist jackass.

Of course, the possible options here aren't mutually exclusive.

5. He even botched the joke which added to the confusion

It's a bit odd that he craves the attention so much.

6. Aha

a) He went to a certain now bankrupt university teaching how to become infamous.
b) He wants people to think he was smart enough to take all the courses.

13. Supply chain jokes are funny for the "don't know how to use an IPAD crowd."

I assume "Where's the beef?" was too raw for him to belt out yet.

15. What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
