Kyle Rittenhouse has not been admitted as a student this fall, despite his announcement on a radio show that he planned to attend the university, a Texas A&M spokeswoman said Sunday.

The Illinois teenager acquitted of fatally shooting two men and wounding another during a 2020 protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, announced his intention to attend Texas A&M during an appearance Friday on The Charlie Kirk Show. Rittenhouse did not specify when he planned to apply for admission to the university.

“I’m gonna be going there, and it’s gonna be awesome,” Rittenhouse told Kirk, according to a video clip of the appearance that circulated on social media. “Beautiful campus, amazing people, amazing food.”

The deadline to apply for admission for the fall 2022 semester at Texas A&M was March, according to the university’s website. Prospective students may apply for the Spring 2023 semester anytime between Aug. 1 and Dec. 1.

1. Everything in the reich-wing universe is pure bullshit, lies, and hypocrisy

IOW, fucking propaganda.

And the rubes lap it up.

And this young man has already figured it out. I see a long career for him in GQP politics.

2. Maybe he can take his rifle and go 'apply' in person.

5. You know, in a weird way, that might not have been a flippant post.

.

If he shows up in a VT shirt, you know all hell's gonna break loose.

7. His supporters would love it.

It's a university so there must be something liberal there.

[LeftInTX]

3. He probably couldn't get in.

4. He killed some random Americans.

That alone makes him a hero in the republican party. Being not too fucking smart helps too.

6. Something tells me that young murderer cretin won't have a happy life

He may be the darling now but he is tainted.

12. That fine, upstanding young man

is going to be forgotten a lot sooner than he thinks with the speed of the news cycles.

Pretty soon, it will be "Kyle who?"

8. He should ask Trump to get him in MIT's nursing school

During his high-profile trial, Rittenhouse said he was taking online courses at Arizona State University. The university subsequently said he was not currently a student at ASU.

The Arizona Republic reported that Rittenhouse had been interested in a nursing career and enrolled at ASU as a non-degree-seeking online student for a session that began in October 2021. However, Rittenhouse had not gone through the admissions process and wasn’t enrolled in the nursing school.

9. no school should admit him

if you ran a campus do you really want the kinda of person who's first reaction when trouble occurs is to grab a weapon of war and become a vigilante? I sure wouldn't. He's far too dangerous to be trusted on a campus.

14. i agree

i can't imagine the students would be happy to have that little psycho around

10. Oh Lord, I pray he does not become an educated elite.

He would not fit in with his fellow deplorables and he’d never be accepted by anyone with a brain.

[keithbvadu2]

11. With all these applications and studies, he'll have almost as many degrees as Melania.

[orleans]

15. "I pray he does not become an educated elite"

lol
not a chance!

[Retrograde]

13. Wasn't he (not) attending ASU a few months ago?

or is he going to Texas A&M the same way I went to Harvard and Yale: walked around the campuses, looked at the buildings, and visited some of the museums - the usual tourist things.

16. It is the University's decision as to whether admit a low life like Rittenhouse
