Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded to a rant from left-wing late night host Stephen Colbert — who suggested that the U.S. should change gun laws in the aftermath of Kyle Rittenhouse’s not guilty verdict.
During Monday’s monologue, Colbert addressed the trial of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty of all charges lodged against him.
“The big news on Friday was that after being accused of crossing state lines, killing two people and wounding another last year during a Black Lives Matter protest, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all counts,” Colbert began.
“Ok. Cards on the table, I am not a legal expert so I can’t tell you whether or not Kyle Rittenhouse broke the law. But I can tell you this, if he didn’t break the law we should change the law,” he continued, triggering a round of applause. “That seems simple. That seems simple.”
“Rich Democrats believe you have no right to defend yourself from an angry mob,” Cruz said in response to Colbert’s assessment, reposting the video on Instagram.
“He was being violently attacked by three dangerous felons; a jury of his peers found that Kyle Rittenhouse acted in self-defense,” the Texas senator added. “What Colbert is arguing is to outlaw the ability to defend oneself.”

His nice suit and TeeVee show fools people into believing that he's not.
Anyone remember when late night TV used to be when everyone watched it and the hosts simply told jokes?

If people are chasing you down in order to murder you, then you should let them.
It’s OK if your security guards shoot people though. If you can’t afford security guards, you got no reason to live.
“The big news on Friday was that after being accused of crossing state lines, killing two people and wounding another last year during a Black Lives Matter protest, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all counts,” Colbert began.
A few clarifications are needed, such as :
1. Kyle Rittenhouse lives in Antioch, Illinois, which is right on the state line with Wisconsin. He has family and friends in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and also worked there. Kenosha is about 20 miles from his home. The implication that he traveled “across state lines”, implying he traveled a long distance to another state which he had no connection to, is factually incorrect.
2. It was not a “Black Lives Matter protest”. It was a riot. It was a violent riot, not a mere peaceful protest.
3. The implication that he went there to shoot people is also demonstrably false. He defended himself when attacked. The one guy he shot who survived, testified in the trial that he pulled his own gun on Kyle before Kyle shot him in self defense.
One thing that came out in the Carlson interview is that Rittenhouse really isn’t very political but kind of likes Andrew Yang - another big hole in the “white supremacist” claim.
“Ok. Cards on the table, I am not a legal expert so I can’t tell you whether or not Kyle Rittenhouse broke the law. But I can tell you this, if he didn’t break the law we should change the law,” he continued, triggering a round of applause. “That seems simple. That seems simple.”
So, Colbert wants to criminalize crossing state lines?
“Self-defence therefore as it is justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away be the law of society.”

Leftists like Colbert lost their $hit when people defended their own house.
Never one to let facts get in the way of a narrative. This guy likes to pose as a kind of conscience of the urban hip, so from that I learn that they don’t care how they get somebody elected, and they would prefer that we all disarm and accept the revolution.
Fat chance, soy boy.
Gaige Grosskreutz testified that he rushed Rittenhouse with a loaded pistol in his hand, and Rittenhouse did not fire until he pointed that pistol, with a chambered round, at Rittenhouse's head. Grosskreutz is lucky to be alive. Grosskreutz's testimony virtually precludes any possibility that he will be able to prevail in a civil suit against Rittenhouse.

I’ve broken that law so many times,
Dang me, dang me, they outta take a rope and hang me.
Still about crossing state lines? Since when has that become illegal for an American citizen? People do it every day to visit family, vacations, entertainment, shopping, etc. What is wrong with these people? Also, Kenosha wasn't a protest, it was a typical riot.
Rich Democrats don’t need to defend themselves. They have their hired armed security defend them.
