Greene introduced a bill Tuesday to give Rittenhouse the award. While the bills full text was not immediately available, a summary states that the measure would award a Congressional Gold Medal to Kyle H. Rittenhouse, who protected the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot.
The likelihood that Greenes effort will be successful is low. A bill requesting a Congressional Gold Medal must be co-sponsored by two-thirds of the House and the Senate, both now controlled by Democrats, before it is considered by the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. After it is passed in Congress, the measure must be authorized by the president.
While congressional Democrats and President Biden have said they respect the jurys decision in Rittenhouses case, they have largely condemned his actions in Kenosha.
Rittenhouse, now 18, was found not guilty of homicide, attempted homicide and other charges related to the August 2020 killings. During his trial, the teen testified that he had acted in self-defense when he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, now 27, during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wis.
