Fox News Channel host Nancy Grace is facing a firestorm of controversy over a so-called “investigative” report that was actually a one-hour hit-piece on Kyle Rittenhouse.
The 18-year-old on trial for shooting two rioters and seriously wounding a third. Video clearly shows Rittenhouse was defending himself from the rioters in all three of the attacks.
“Can you have a teen vigilante out there looking for trouble? Is it either that or is it self-defense,” Grace said. “The question tonight is can both be true?”
Throughout much of the program, Fox aired a chyron reading, “TEEN VIGILANTE GUNS DOWN THREE, HEADS TO JURY.”
“Everyone that you speak to says when asked, is Rittenhouse guilty? They say, well, why was he out there with an AR? Why was he out there with an assault rifle,” Grace asked. “But the issue was, was he defending himself? Because you can be a teen vigilante and you can still shoot in self defense.”
Criminal defense attorney Troy Slaten quickly corrected Grace’s erroneous description of Rittenhouse’s weapon — noting that it was not an “assault rifle.”
Grace also wondered whether or not the 18-year-old faked the emotional outburst that happened during his testimony.
“Is that real? Is he really crying? Or did his lawyer coach him hour after hour after hour about when to start crying,” Grace asked. “Did he stick him with a pen or is he really crying?”
Grace referred to those gunned down in the Kenosha riots as “victims” – including convicted child sex offender Joseph Rosenbaum.
But is it real?

Dr. Bethany Marshall, a psychoanalyst, asked whether Rittenhouse might be “homicidal.”
“He seems to have this grandiose entitlement,” Marshall told Grace. “He represents that he’s a medic even though he has no formal training as a medic. He thinks he can protect an auto body shop even though he’s not a policeman. He thinks he can enforce the law even though he’s just a sniveling little kid.”
Grace took issue with Rittenhouse traveling to Kenosha – even though that’s where his father lived.
“It would be a cold day in H-E double L that my son would be out with that slung over his shoulder at night 25 miles away from home,” she said. “How did that happen? Why is he out 25 miles away from home with THAT (gun) slung over his shoulder? Now, what does that have to do with self defense? Nothing. But that’s just a question.”
@FoxNews TEEN VIGILANTE GUNS DOWN THREE? VIGILANTE implies taking the law into his own hands, KR rightfully defended himself so not a vigilante. GUNS DOWN implies shooting without just cause, again self defense. Nancy Grace's show tonight was garbage! pic.twitter.com/Lp2VPgZ85v

Nancy Grace is an evil, nasty wench. I didn’t know she was on FNC, but it doesn’t surprise me. The liberal owners of FNC are determined to run it into the ground.
“Vigilante” has a negative connotation but if our government-supplied law enforcement withers, the vigilante will fill the gap.
Nancy grace is a vile human being
Fox news is still on tv?
Didn’t Nancy Grace do the same to the Duke Lacrosse team?
What a disgusting pig.
After he is acquitted I hope she is one of many that he sues for defamation.
Why was she given another show after what she did?
Not to mention a stupid alcoholic.
New management......................
Who would Nancy Grace rather have as a body guard, Kyle Rittenhouse or Parkland, Florida, school safety officer from Stoneman High school?
How is Nancy Grace still allowed a television platform? By now, she should be reduced to delivering a podcast with less than 35 subscribers.
One by one they are outing themselves for the propagandists they are. Keep notes.
She sure did. Ready, fire, aim.
What an odd sentence. I guess "shooting" is the same a killing except when "seriously wounding".
We should have zero tolerance for people who are so eager to smear a kid who was first defending his neighborhood and second defending his life. Especially now that we’ve all seen the video of that night, and we’ve seen him testify. He literally is a hero, doing the job that the police and the politicians wouldn’t. It’s as clear as day that anyone attacking him has a hidden agenda, they want you to feel powerless, they want you to tremble in fear, to stay inside, and never stand up for yourself or your rights. Why are the owners of these networks so evil?
I think Nancy Grace and other like minded so-called “activists” are the real vigilantes.
FNC’s Nancy Grace Calls Kyle Rittenhouse ‘Teen Vigilante,’ Guests Label Him ‘Sniveling Kid,’ Possibly Homicidal
/\
So who’s doing the sniveling now Grace ?
You seem to be promoting your own brand of vigilantism , and may be yourself a little homicidal,
since you seem to be whooping up the antifa/blm/commie rabble on primetime national TV.
We need more like him.
And far fewer of the sort he had to defend himself against.
