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?
Grace referred to those gunned down in the Kenosha riots as “victims” – including convicted child sex offender Joseph Rosenbaum.
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 a known liar.
Seems to me it was a concerted effort by the corrupt media over the weekend to influence members of the jury by their pieces on Rittenhouse which were all negative. Since the jury was not sequestered, they could watch all the Sunday programs and hear from “experts”, former federal prosecutors and people like Nancy Grace who provided negative info and opinion, not fact. That is well within the corrupt practices of the media to try something like that.
He’s going to be a target, for the rest of his life, sad to say.
Speaking of vigilantism, Nancy Grace is a Woke Wigged-out Vigilante and Partisan Media Shill.
Regardless, he acted in self-defense so it really doesn't matter what Nancy's opinion of him is.
I haven’t watched Fox but for a Tucker snippet or two since Election Night. There are a few like Gutfeld, Watters and Tucker who are good on Fox. The network itself sucks.
I assume that when their contracts expire, they will all head to OAN or NEWSMAX...............
Kyle should add her to the list of losers he’s going to sue after this is all over.
Sounds a lot like ADA Binger in the Rittenhouse trial.
I happened to turn that on last night. The show was despicable with a whole panel talking out of their buttocks, and getting even basic facts wrong - both with the case and with their supposed fields of expertise.
vile, ugly, drunk!!!
Oh they were smearing him for ‘trying to do the policemans job’ when the policeman wasn’t doing it and wouldn’t be doing it.
Can a 17 or 18 year old enlistee go to Germany, Vietnam or Afghanistan and kill the enemy and think he's protecting America even tho he's not a policeman?
Wow. A terrible “on the record” past for multiple instances of illegal and unethical behavior!
But she gets back on television “News” as a impartial commentator, eh?
Just another reason not watch Fox just Tucker.
