During an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Monday night, Kyle Rittenhouse slammed Democrat President Joe Biden for suggesting the then-17-year-old was a “white supremacist” in a video the president shared on social media last year.
“Mr. President, if I could say one thing to you, I would urge you to go back and watch the trial and understand the facts before you make a statement,” Rittenhouse said.
“That’s not a small thing to be called that,” Carlson said.
“No, it’s, it’s actual malice, defaming my character for him to say something like that,” Rittenhouse said. “It’s actually quite hysterical how nobody can go back and look at the facts of the case. ‘He crossed state lines,’ false. ‘He’s a white supremacist,’ false. None of that is true. And the lies that they can just get away with spreading is just sickening. And it’s a disgrace to this country.”

When Carlson asked in Rittenhouse was planning on holding the “liars to account,” Rittenhouse responded, “I have really good lawyers who are taking care of that right now.”
“So, I’m hoping one day there will be some, there’ll be accountability for their actions that they did,” Rittenhouse added.
“Okay, so you’re intent on not, you’re not gonna let that go?” Carlson asked.
“Like I said, really good lawyers are handling that,” Rittenhouse said.
