Ben Shapiro To Rittenhouse Jurors: Conviction Would Be 'Political'

Media Bites 11/06/21 7:04am Read time: 1 minute

Murdering Blacks and Democrats is fair game to Republicans.
By John Amato

Former celibate tinker-man Ben Shapiro claimed that there isn't enough evidence to go to trial, let alone convict murderous teenager Kyle Rittenhouse.

Murdering Blacks and Democrats is fair game to Republicans.

Playing the usual victim card, Shapiro said, "We live in a society where the media will not allow a case not to be brought so long as the purported victimizer is of the wrong political persuasion."

I guess it's all in how you look at it.
Republicans see an innocent kid just walking down the street with an assault rifle; a victim in their eyes.
I see a kid who was armed and ready to shoot people, and he did.
The fact that he came into the area armed with a deadly weapon is enough to get him convicted for at least manslaughter in my eyes.

But it's not 'political' from BEN'S side of things at all, oh no!
