BLM Leader Calls Out Kyle Rittenhouse For Saying He Supports Black Lives Matter
Just days after 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder after shooting and killing two people at Black Lives Matter rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he sat down with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. The teen, who has become a star with conservatives, said he supported Black Lives Matter and insisted he wasn’t a racist. Melina Abdullah, co-founder of Los Angeles’ BLM chapter, is now speaking out.
Abdullah told TMZ, “They are a propaganda machine that’s used to make the nonsensical seem to make sense. And so, they want to make Kyle Rittenhouse both the young hero of white supremacy, but also not be a white supremacist.”
She continued, So, he’s declaring this…very tacit support for Black Lives Matter and for so-called peaceful protest. At the same time, we see all over his social media, him throwing up white supremacist signs. And people know what it is. It’s very clear what he is and what he’s doing.”
