Kyle Rittenhouse isn't the problem. You are.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you remember Kyle Rittenhouse: the then-teenager who killed two people and injured a third with his semi-automatic rifle in self-defense during the BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

This moment of obvious self-defense turned into a national controversy (even after Rittenhouse was found innocent of all charges, and rightly so) with the Left declaring that he was a white supremacist murderer, and the Right countering by making him a hero — oh, and a thought leader not only for gun rights but conservatism.

Well now, he’s going viral again. Why? For saying he’s not going to vote for Donald Trump. The bastard!

And people are mad.

OK…here’s the thing.

This says a lot more about everyone else than it does about Kyle Rittenhouse.

After the Kenosha riots, it was the entire Right that decided to make Kyle Rittenhouse a celebrity and a thought-leader. He met with President Donald Trump, he was interviewed by Tucker Carlson, and he went on a country-wide college speaking tour.

Despite the fact that the guy has the intellectual depth of a boiled potato.
