I think I am going to throw up..Kyle Rittenhouse Meets With GOP House Caucus

https://news.yahoo.com/kyle-rittenhouse-meets-gop-house-124309498.html



Kyle Rittenhouse Former suspect in the killing of two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin
Kyle Rittenhouse, the rifle-wielding teenager who shot two unarmed racial justice protesters to death in Kenosha, Wisconsin, two years ago, met with members of the GOP Second Amendment House caucus on Thursday.

Rittenhouse, found not guilty of homicide charges last year for killings his lawyers argued were self-defense, met with members of the pro-gun caucus at a gathering at the Conservative Partnership Institute office near the Capitol.

Rittenhouse repeated his self-serving defense and held a question-and-answer session, The Hill reported. He has been hailed as a right-wing celebrity since the killings.

The caucus is chaired by Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). Rittenhouse posed for a photo with both of them, and with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).

Rittenhouse runs for office as a Republican.

That the right has made a ‘hero’ of Rittenhouse illustrates just how reprehensible conservatives truly are.

Alejandro Frost become the first "Gen Z" member of Congress elected by the Democrats in Florida at age 25, they "brainstormed" and came up with a plan for the little killer.

Dollars to donuts he's being groomed for this role, so he's ready once he becomes age-eligible.

Rewarded for murder by approving fans. If he had been black, cops would have executed him on the spot. And there would be hardly a blip on the radar.

they also have to know their "meteoric rise" is going to end in an early crash if they can't keep the proven-minority MAGA faction energized.

We need those people gone, and the only way it's going to happen is when enough of their voters decide to give them the boot. Anyway, showing off Rittenhouse is relatively harmless activity for this band of scummy traitors.

This is just more of their "Own the Libs" performance art by the craziest of their crazies. Just remind yourself that at some point, that little prick's 15 minutes of fame will be over, and probably not with a happy ending, either. Especially if he continues to associate with these cretins.

the kid is even dumber than Bobo - as well, you can tell he's not even of average intelligence, which makes his exploitation reprehensible -the goppers will throw him away when they're done with him. I only feel sorry for him due to his low intelligence - other than that, he can just burn.

They invited him because they know it pisses off, and that's it. He has no business being there otherwise.
