AOC calls out Kyle Rittenhouse's $2 million bail release as 'protection of white supremacy'
Progressive Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, responded to the release of Illinois 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse on social media, according to the New York Post.
In late August, Rittenhouse is accused of bringing an AR-15 style rife to protests for Jacob Blake — who was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin— and fired at demonstrators, resulting in two fatalities and one injury, Insider previously reported.

AOC responded to Rittenhouse's release on Twitter, calling it a "protection of white supremacy" and "law and disorder."
"People who argue that dramatic changes to policing, including budgetary ones, will mean 'violent people will be let out of jail to roam free' rarely ever acknowledge that's actually the current system we have today for the privileged," AOC tweeted on Saturday.
