Kyle Rittenhouse Sits Down for First Interview Since Acquittal
Bongino ^ | 11/23/21

Posted on 11/23/2021 11:48:02 AM PST by Pollard

Last night, Kyle Rittenhouse sat down with Tucker Carlson for his first post-acquittal interview.

“Few Americans have ever heard his [Kyle Rittenhouse’s] voice. Over the next hour, we’re going to let Kyle Rittenhouse speak for himself. You can make up your own mind what you think,” Tucker opened. “But before we start, one observation which you can’t resist making; it’s hard to ignore the yawning class divide between Kyle Rittenhouse and his many critics in the media. Rittenhouse comes from the least privileged sector of our society. During high school, he worked as a janitor and a fry cook to help support his family. Last year, he got into college at Arizona State, and he’s very proud of it. In the world Kyle Rittenhouse grew up in, it is not a given that kids go to college. It’s not even close.”

“During the course of our long conversation, Kyle Rittenhouse struck us as bright, decent, sincere, dutiful and hardworking, exactly the kind of person you’d want many more of in your country. He’s not especially political. He never wanted to be the symbol of anything. Kyle Rittenhouse just wanted to keep violent lunatics from setting fire to cars. In the America he grew up in, that was considered virtuous,” he continued.

Watch the full interview below:

I’ve posted a link to a bitchute version on a few threads but it’s technically bootleg so I wasn’t going to start a thread for it. Then I ran across a link to bongino with it. Tucker must have let him post it for all to see.

Kyle was so impressive. Absolutely fearless. He took on Biden, the FBI, and the MSM.

He is so self-assured, articulate, and commanding.

The sparkle in his eyes points to a sense of humor, as well as a tongue-in- cheek wit.

It is hard to imagine, after all he has been through, that he is not only surviving, but thriving.

It is so heartening to see Good triumph over Evil, as it has done in Kyle’s life.

definitely worth watching. I saw on CFP this morning that Lin Wood responded but it was an audio and I didn’t bother listening. That guy is a fraud and boy, has he been called out. Have you heard what he said?

Wonderful to hear him speak, not only is he capable of defending himself with a gun in the midst of terrorist thugs attacking him, but he is capable of defending his reputation with honest heartfelt words.

Nope and not interested.

Saw an interview with Kyle’s mom and she said that Lin Wood told her the country was going to explode after Now 3rd and that Kyle was safer in jail. He’s a loon. I looked into that other lawyer John Pierce and he co-started a firm called Pierce Bainbridge that lasted all of a few months. The other lawyers in the short lived firm did not have good things to say about Pierce.

Kyle's other lawyer before mom gave both of them the boot. Good for mom.

I thought I read this John Pierce was also representing some of the J6 prisoners and completely ditched them for months. Did you see that? This guy, at minimum, needs to be disbarred and at max, jailed himself. Shameful behavior.

Lin Wood is actually trying to keep the $2m in bond money even though it was 100% raised in Kyle’s name. He sounds broke to me.

I was delighted with Kyle. Lost any remaining respect for Wood.

Way too early for a victory lap folks. The corrupt Biden/Garland DOJ has not finished with him.

very mature and articulate for a young man his age. I was very impressed with him.

The interview was extremely enlightening.

His demeaner and articulation of the whole Kenosha incident completely undermines the lies from virtually every major media outlet and/or commentators.

But that is why you’ll only hear about what actually happened on Fox News, et al.

And that is why over half of the country has an ignorant, biased opinion of Kyle Rittenhouse and what happened in Kenosha last August . . .

Yes, what you said. As I watched last night, I was mostly smiling EAR TO EAR and thinking that this is a sign of hope sent to encourage the rest of us to continue to stand up for what is right. And I felt like he really trusts Tucker, and that trust is well-placed, IMO.

The clips of Kyle I've heard so far indicate the he is very articulate and potentially has a future in politics.

Ironically, that may work against any potential defamation suits against the media, as he is now a 'public figure' with a platform to defend himself.

Wasn’t it Lin Wood telling Republicans to NOT vote in the Georgia election?

You might be right about the DOJ, etc., but I think (in a very sad way, sorry to say) that the Waukesha incident of the POC driving into a parade and killing (at least) 5 innocent people, will muzzle the DOJ to leave Kyle alone at this point.

At least I hope it turns out that way... Because even the DOJ, Biden, etc., will realize the hypocrisy if they continue to go after Kyle, but barely shrug at the other incident.
