that kyle rittenhouse was a vigilante.t was a sly way of slamming. and joe biden could have shown grace and unity. he poured gasoline on the fire and said he was angry and concerned that a jury found an innocent man was innocent. that's undermining faith in the justice system. the entire establishment of the democratic party from andrew cuomo to bill de blasio, the lot of them doubled down instead of admitting error and apologizing to kyle rittenhouse for what they did. they weaponized this trial and pretented it was about race for base political purposeses. they are the racists and msnbc and cnn perpetrated this race lie -- they tell you it's about race. it's not about race. it's about class. it's about the working class son of a mother who is powerless. this is the modern-day to kill a mockingbird. mark richards is finch. this is the entire establishment against this weak and powerless young man. the jury thank god got it right. the entire reputation and the entire unity of this country rested on the shoulders of 12 amer

and frankly, if i was kyle rittenhouse's attorney, she should be held accountable as well. in 2020 congresswoman pressley called rittenhouse a white supremacist and domestic terrorist and congresswoman omar called him a domestic terrorist drove across state lines with an ar15. bozo betoo rourke accused him of being a white nationalist terrorist. fake news cbs reported that rittenhouse murdering two men. msdnc, they might be the worst of the bunch, falsely referring to rittenhouse as a right wing extremist. abc news falsely reporting rittenhouse flashed a white power sign. none of this is true. none of it. now that rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges the smears are just as bad. look at this actual headline from msdnc. it's designed to protect white conservatives who kill. de blasio the soon to be leaving mayor of new york city tweeted: anthony huber, joseph rosenbaum are victims. they should be alive today. the only reason they are not is because a violent dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines to start shooting people. to call this a miscarriage of

minutes ago a jury acquitted kyle rittenhouse on all counts. rittenhouse was 17 years old when he fatally shot two men and wounded a third with an ar-15 style rifle that he brought to racial justice protests in august of 2020. he was charged with homicide and reckless endangerment. he could have gotten a life sentence but will walk free today. rittenhouse took the stand during trial, testifying that he acted in self-defense. the jury deliberated for roughly 25 hours. >> the first count of the information, joseph rosenbaum, we the jury find the defendant not guilty. as to the second count of the information, bridget mcginnis, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the third count of the information unknown male, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the fourth count of the information, anthony huber, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the fifth count of the information, gaige grosskreutz, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. >> members of

kyle rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, claimed he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot anthony and joseph rosenbaum with an ar-15-style rifle. rittenhouse took to the streets after a right-wing group had called for armed vigilantes to patrol kenosha. the jury's decision was announced on friday afternoon after about 26 hours of deliberations. >> the defendant will rise, face the jury. >> the state of wisconsin versus, rittenhouse. us that the first can, joseph rosenbaum, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the second count of the information richard mcginnis, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the third count of the information unknown male, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the fourth count of the information anthony huber, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as to the fifth count of the information gaige grosskreutz, we find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. >> members of the jury, these are your unanimous verdicts? is there anyone who does not agree wi

the president of the united states referred to kyle rittenhouse as a white supremacist. instream media demonized kyle as a domestic terrorist. a racist and active shooter looking to kill. at a time when chaos and anarchy seemed to rule our streets and black lives matter members could go about burning and tearing down businesses with impunity. when tax paying americans watched marxists, socialists, and racists destroy our community, we lost hope. it was fueled by the mine real media intent on lying about the facts. by outside protesters within hearing range of jurors whose closeness was to intimidate the jurors. the question is whether member who justice could be followed by real justice. whether a country so divide could bring back a verdict. >> we the jury finds the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as for the third count of the information, unknown male, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. as for the fourth count of the information, anthony huber we find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. the fifth count of the information, we the ju

kyle rittenhouse goes with his friend. months before in april, his friend had purchased a weapon for him, because kyle was 17, he was not legally allowed to own this weapon, kyle -- >> wait. hold on. dave, let's see some video of that night. because i like to see what is going on. i want to see protest and everything happening. go ahead they got the weapon. >> -- >> hold on. >> we're seeing the joseph rosenbaum shooting, you see . joesing him across the parking lot, if you see the -- the stay on that. joseph rosenbaum over and over, can you put that in slow motion? >> in slow motion, i have to run it -- look. look at that? you see kyle rittenhouse running, and you see joseph rosenbaum chasing him. chasing him. and then it looks like rittenhouse turned around. and bam. there you go. that is the shooting of rittenhouse. what were you saying? >> leading up to this i was setting up, one of kyle a friends father said there will be a protest tonight we're going to protect the local business, come with us. kyle goes along, brings

kyle rittenhouse is not that individual. the rioters, the demonstrators who turned into rioters, those are the individuals who bring us forth. and i ask you to remember, and i'll show you the videos for the last time from me. the anger in the mob that was going on that night. they were not going to be dissuaded from doing things. they were pushing, firing dumpsters, destroying property and that was -- so you're saying mr. rittenhouse put out a fire. yes. it was a small fire. last time i checked, small fires turn into big fires. so kind of stupid. james armstrong, hocus-pocus, out of focus, i've talked about him. he spent 20 hours reworking a frame in a video and averaging -- having my client somehow miraculously go from a right-handed shooter to a left-handed shooter. the mirror on the truck is the arm. their whole case relies on that one photograph that he spent 20 hours. that's how they're going to prove provocation. a word you never heard in the opening statement. it was my client who chased him down and shot him in the b

when he saw kyle rittenhouse, he threatened to kill kyle rittenhouse, then chased him in a full sprintrnered him and try to snatch his gun from his hand. it was at that point that rittenhouse fired. who wouldn't fire at that point? you try to turn himself into police but he couldn't because of a mob howling for his death chased him down a city street. one writer then knocked kyle rittenhouse to the ground, another smashed in the head with a gate board and one pointed it in his face. so what no point was kyle rittenhouse the aggressor in the sequence of events him every move he made was defensive. that's not our interpretation of it, that's what came out in court. none of these facts are disputed. they all happens. so that's a very tough problem for the prosecution. with facts like those, what exactly do you say? what they said is really interesting so today, the prosecutors tried to argue that mental patient joseph rosenbaum his criminal record you could read online and you should just to get a sense of who they are defending, that this guy had threatened to murder kyle rittenhouse in

the jury finding kyle rittenhouse should be acquitted on all charges for shooting and killing two people and seriously hurting somebody else during that racial justice demonstrations in kenosha, wisconsin, last year. the defense had said rittenhouse was acting in self-defense and the jury has agreed. we're live in kenosha with the latest along with analysis from our team of legal

kyle rittenhouse has reacted. he is remorseful and wants to get on with his life, but for others, it may not be so easy. the family of one of the men shot dead had said that this not guilty verdict sends a dangerous message that any armed civilian can show up in any town and justify shooting people. so, this political divide that we know exists in america on gun control and gun ownership has tonight got even deeper. outside the courthouse, emotional speeches in reaction to the verdict are ongoing. here's hannah giddings, the partner of 26—year—old anthony huber, who was fatally shot by kyle rittenhouse. it's hard to find the exact words to say in _ it's hard to find the exact words to say in this— it's hard to find the exact words to say in this situation. i don't think that any— say in this situation. i don't think that any of— say in this situation. i don't think that any of us who were directly involved — that any of us who were directly involved in— that any of us who were directly involved in what happened la

kyle rittenhouse isn't a militia member. as lifeguard. kyle rittenhouse didn't fire 60 rounds. even close to that. he was in legal possession of his gun. most amazing is the claim which you're hearing everywhere right now that kyle rittenhouse is "bad" because he "drove across state lines." think about that for just a second. so the very same people who have told you for years that borders by definition white supremacy now claim it's some kind of moral offense for an american citizen to enter a contiguous state. making it sound like kyle rittenhouse snuck into a foreign land undercover of darkness to murder people! it's not quite what happened. take a look at this map. this is kyle rittenhouse's drive from his mother's home in antioch, illinois to kenosha, wisconsin. it is -- by the map, it says 21. our map program says 17 miles. either way, probably shorter than your commute to work every morning. as kyle rittenhouse explained on the stand last week, when mobs set fire to kenosha, he'd every reason to want to defend the city because his father lives there. >> but you decided y

people from across the political spectrum, including politicians, have been commenting on the kyle rittenhouseerdict. i want to review tweets from lawmakers put out yesterday and today on the rittenhouse verdict. this is from andy levin. "greatly disappointed but not surprised. lack of common sense gun laws and systemic racism allowed him to kill two innocent people. now he gets to walk free." jason crow. "the justice system cannot fail if it was never meant to deliver justice for some people in the first place. the verdict is a tragedy. we have the better. my thoughts are with the families and the communities that are hurting." from jerry nadler. "this is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by doj. justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engaged in first amendment protected protests." from -- "the verdict did not deliver justice. it should serve as a stark reminder of the work that lies ahead in the reform of the broken system and bring justice to communities that have been unjustly criminal

the jury finding kyle rittenhouse should be acquitted on all charges for shooting and killing two people and seriously hurting somebody else during that racial justice demonstrations in kenosha, wisconsin, last year. the defense had said rittenhouse was acting in self-defense and the jury has agreed. we're live in kenosha with the latest along with analysis from our team of legal experts. and in the nation's capital, president biden talking about this, and affirming the american jury system after this controversial acquittal. watch. >> i stand by what the jury has concluded. the jury system works. >> we're expecting to hear more from him later in the hour as he celebrates the house passing his social spending plan this morning, but his jnt isn't quite over the finish line yet. i'm hallie jackson in washington. but we start with our team in and around kenosha, wisconsin. ellison barber, who is there. i'm also joined by former u.s. attorney, rachel paulus, barbara mcquade, former prosecutor, paul henderson, and brittany pat nick cunningham. ellis, i have to start with you. you're on scene.

when he did that, kyle rittenhouse shot him. so joseph rosenbaum died as he had lived, trying to touch and unwilling minor. at this point, rittenhouse ran to find police. a mob then chased him down the street howling for his death. a riot or jumped on rittenhouse and knocked into the ground. another smashed him in the face with a skateboard. he had another loaded gun pointed in his face. he shot the second two men, one of them fatally, so those are the facts and there's no way to interpret them except for what they are. the exercise of self-defense. kyle rittenhouse shot people so he would not be killed. but if you take a step back from the story, you see some thing else entirely. you see violent insanity completely out of control in the middle of an american city. the question is how did that happen in our country and why did nobody stop it? it wasn't just happening in kenosha, course buried violent mobs at the same moment overwhelmed new york and minneapolis in portland and many other cities. they killed at least a dozen people

video footage from the night of august 25th shows this man kicking kyle rittenhouse in the face and knockingn. rittenhouse responds by firing his rifle twice and both times he missed. tonight, the jury is considerini whether rittenhouse acted recklessly when he fired those two shots and, yet, and here'set the point, the jury has no idea as it deliberates who this man is. the prosecution never identified him. prosecutors claimed they didn't know his identity and they had no way to find it out. so that means that rittenhouse's defense attorneys never got to cross-examine this man orns introduce any evidence about his behavior that night. that's not a small thing. according to "the daily mail," new reporting today that man's name is maurice freeland. freeland has admitted that he attacked rittenhouse moments before another man, a domestic abuser called anthony huber started bashing rittenhouse in the head with a skateboard. who is maurice freeland? according to "the daily mail" is he a criminal. disorderly conduct and damage to property. in one case, a woman reported to authorities that freelan
