Donald Trump Jr.’s Interview With Kyle Rittenhouse Goes South In A Hurry

[Scott]

 

Donald Trump Jr. and Kyle Rittenhouse kicked off with a baseless claim on the Trump scion’s “Triggered” podcast on Thursday.

 

Rittenhouse in 2021 was found not guilty of homicide after killing two unarmed racial justice protesters in Wisconsin in 2020. He argued self-defense.

They were just local prosecutors doing their normal taxpayer funded jobs.

But this pair of fascist bozos had to bring Jew hating into it 

[Chomper Higgot]

If this piece of garbage had any sense he’d accept his day in the limelight had passed and keep quiet with the hope the world forgets about him.

 

Rittenhouse would be well advised to do likewise.

Well, to be literal, he claimed that his prosecutors were funded by George Soros. Not sure someone like him is even knowledgeable enough to know that Soros is Jewish. And it's crazy enough without invoking anti-Semitism. I'm not denying that anti-Semitism accounts for a sizeble number of people who subscribe to Soros hatred, but not all. After all, there are loons who hate Soros but adore Mark Levin.

You are extremely naive to suggest the super maga poster boy Rittenhouse and vile Trump son Don Jr. aren't well aware of one of the most widely used and notorious codes of that fascist movement -- demonizing Soros. I do realize Rittenhouse is quite dumb, but he's not that stupid either. He has been actively coached. Also, dude, look at the context, he wasn't talking about currency trading he was talking about funding progressive causes.

 

The Troubling Truth About The Obsession With George Soros (forbes.com)

 

The internet has once again exploded with a surge of social media posts about George Soros, with far-right activists and QAnon conspiracy theorists posting wildly imaginative claims related to the billionaire philanthropist. But behind the spectacle of paranoid outrage, there is a troubling and undeniable truth about the constant attacks on George Soros:

Anti-Semitism.

This is the youth who was chased and assaulted twice, and was forced to defend himself (successfully) with his gun, right?

You can construe as much as you like. But there's no hard evidence to support your contention. On the other hand, there's plenty of evidence to support the fact that Rittenhouse's thought processes are seriously defective.

And you did not at all address the fact that there are plenty of right wingers out there who are fans of Jewish demagogues like Mark Levin or of Jewish lowlifes like Steven Miller.

[Mac Mickmanus]

Kyle seems to be putting on weight , seems like he could do with some exercise  , he should get back to running around the streets whilst carrying heavy objects 

[ozimoron]

If DT junior was serious he'd pay this murderer's legal fees. He's being sued for wrongful death by one of his victims. This is just red meat for the base. The kid is begging for money. They want the suckers to fund his legal fees. .

This is the youth who had illegal possession of a fireman and took it to a zone of civil unrest. He had no business being there. He was a high school dropout and a wannabe police officer.

This isn't a court of law. It's a forum.

Don Jr. played along. Surely you know that he knows the maga code words. 

Rittenhouse was obviously coached by some maga zealots and whether he understands what he's doing or not, he is still doing it. 

This is about code words from the right wing.

Naming some right wing Jews is irrelevant. It's like trying to prove the maga party isn't white nationalist by naming some black Trumpists.

It's sickening to me that you seriously felt I am somehow obligated on a narrow topic like this to mention all kinds of Jews. The topic here is right wing white nationalist code which is international now.

I dont recall him being charged with or convicted of illegal possession.  Could you provide me with a link to that? AFAIK he was found not guilty of everything he was charged with. As for having "no business being there"... He had as much right to be there as did the protesters, if not more, since his aim was not to destroy but to protect.

You're the one who made the simplistic claim that  Rittenhouse ' comment was anti-semitic

His comment was stupid and repugnant enough without bringing anti-Semitism into it.

This is the nutter that went to another county to be a vigilante with an illegal weapon and took it on himself to attack Americans exercising their first amendment right in protesting the extrajudicial murder of mr George Floyd rittenhouse wasent protecting his home or even his own town many here feel it was and is a miscarriage of justice

Note that the antisemitic nature of attacks on Soros is mentioned in the yahoo article we're talking about. Charging me with inventing that aspect is just wrong.

 

In this case, we're talking only about the use of the Soros code word coming from the white nationalist right wing specifically. 

 

The code words "Soros" and "Globalists" coming from white nationalist Super Magas in the US, Orban supporters in Hungary (they are allies) and other international right wing white nationalists, are most definitely antisemitic code words.

Whether you call that simplistic or not, that is a fact.

You can find thousands of links to document that if this is a new concept to you.

If you're suggesting that Rittenhouse specifically is so mentally unfit that he should be given a pass, well, on that I will concede that could be possible. But Don Jr. definitely not.

Well, he wasn't a "nutter" , the "different county" wasn't a long distance from his home and was his local town and he went there to stop an arson attack on a business , rather than to stop a peaceful protest and Kyle was violently   attacked by a nutter.

He still went there with a deliberate intention to foment trouble with black protesters. Unfortunately for him (and them) it was white protesters who challenged him.

You mean he drove about 10 minutes to a city where he has friends and relatives? With a weapon that was determined to be 100% LEGAL for him to carry?

 

And the protest wasn't about George Floyd. It was about the shooting of Jacob Blake. A man who had just sexually assaulted a woman and was trying to grab a knife when he was shot. And survived the shooting to later go on trial and be convicted of multiple crimes.

 

And Rittenhouse was protecting the town he had numerous social ties with.  

 

Other than that, you are 100% right.

It's the duty of the police to protect the town, not armed vigilantes. Which of the people he threatened and ultimately shot committed any crimes?

One of the people Kyle shot, violently assaulted him and Kyle shot him because he feared the assaulting guy could kill him, that is a crime committed

IMHO it is the duty of every good citizen to protect their communities. Waiting for the police is no protection at all. They are REactive, not PROactive.  And who did Rittenhouse threaten?  From the trial, Kyle was the one being chased and threatened, not the other way around.

Vigilantism is actually illegal.

Next thing, you will call Neighborhood Watch and the like illegal...

Rittenhouse has cosied up to white supremacist groups since his trial.

 

Kyle Rittenhouse, out on bail, flashed white power signs at a bar, prosecutors say

The other case centred around a white 18-year-old named Kyle Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse shot three people during an anti-racism protest.

 

In case you missed the details of this highly polarizing case: Rittenhouse shot and killed two men and injured a third during a protest in Kenosha, Wis., in 2020. The protests were in response to the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake.

When white people find Black protesters scary, and white vigilantes heroic, where does that leave the legal concept of ‘reasonable belief’?

November 2021, in the United States, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges after shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, while they were protesting against impunity in the killing of Black people.

None, of course. And yes, Kyle did "flash" that dreaded symbol of White Supremacy, the "OK sign".....  busted for sure.  

 

I sense a degree of desperation in those who are so eager to not let the inconvenient truth get in the way of their chosen political narrative.

All of them. The protests were against the killing of a BLACK man. It was an assumption made by Rittenhouse that many of those protesters would be black and BLM. As it happened many white protesters also protested, a situation which obviously wasn't part of his calculations and nor did he anticipate that some might challenge his aggression in wielding an AR 15 at them. His continuous association with white supremacists before and after his trial clearly demonstrates his antipathy towards blacks.
