PALM BEACH, FL – After being acquitted for multiple accounts of murder during his self-defense trial, 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse traveled to Mar-A-Lago to visit with former U.S. President Donald J. Trump. A photo of the meeting was posted to social media and sent the left into a hailstorm of negativity against both men.
“Kyle, I got to know him a little bit. He called. He wanted to know if he could come over and say hello because he was a fan, unlike the other guy,” the former president said in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Trump said the two spoke for a few minutes and that he admired the teen, but did not care much for the state’s prosecutor in the case.
“He should never have been put through that,” Trump said. “That was prosecutorial misconduct.”
Earlier this week in an interview with Tucker Carlson, Rittenhouse hinted that civil lawsuits were coming against those who defamed him by declaring him a white supremacist, including CNN, MSNBC and even current President Joe Biden.
“Mr. President if I could say one thing to you, I would urge you to go back and watch the trial and understand the facts before you make a statement,” Rittenhouse said of President Biden. “It is actual malice, defaming my character for him to say something like that.”
In response to the meeting, the left was outraged.
“This picture makes me very sad for each person. I ask God to forgive them for they don’t really know what they’re doing. The inevitable wrath for wrong will come and the world will witness it. Just wait and see,” one left winger said.
Other progressive liberals even claimed the image was photoshopped.
