The deplorables have already coined a new term: "pulling a Kyle Rittenhouse on someone" [View all]

There is a Youtube-channel I used to regularly frequent. So, the Youtube-algorithm recommends this guy's blog-posts to me.

Yesterday, things went a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit out of control.



First he posted how happy he is with the verdict.
Shockingly, some of his followers, including me, did not share his enthusiasm.


Then he posted that Rittenhouse had every right to defend himself against the pedophile attacking him because he tried to rape him. (One of the people Rittenhouse killed had child-porn charges in his past or something like that.)
Still, his followers somehow didn't agree with him, e.g. by pointing out that Rittenhouse should have stayed home and leave the law-enforcement to the cops.


Then he posted how everyone who disagrees with the Rittenhouse-verdict is a pedophilia-supporter.


And theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen he posted how it might be necessary to (quote) "pull a Kyle Rittenhouse" on the people who disagree with him.
