Tucker Carlson gets Rittenhouse interview for Monday night

Fox News host Tucker Carlson will interview Kyle Rittenhouse on Monday night following the 18-year-old's acquittal Friday afternoon.

Rittenhouse will appear on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. ET after a jury, in a unanimous decision, found Rittenhouse not guilty of all charges five charges against him.

The teen was on trial following violence that broke out last year in Kenosha, Wisc., during a demonstration against the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man. Blake survived the shooting, but the incident left him paralyzed. At the time, Rittenhouse (then 17) traveled from Illinois with a firearm and during the demonstration fatally shot two people and injured another.

During the trial, Rittenhouse's defense team argued that the teen was acting in self defense when he fired his weapon, adding that he had attended the demonstration to prevent small businesses from getting looted.

Rittenhouse is their new hero............he killed 2 people and wounded another person.

2 unarmed men were killed. Why in the fuck is this POS not in prison?

He will do a good job digging the hole he deserves to dig.

For the record, only the most disgusting filth of society want to see more of him. You know, Tucker's audience.

Rittenhouse is Tucker's kind of guy- he hates "rioters" and thinks that property damage is an outrage. Plus, I'm sure that he sees the prosecution of Rittenhouse as political, designed to attack "patriots" in the wake of 1/6

Carlson had a team embedded with the defense. This on the Chris Cuomo show interview tonight. The lawyer did not approve but said the people who were raising all of the money for things like expert witnesses, etc. wanted Faux News there.
