Interview:
In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Kyle Rittenhouse spoke out about the night of the Kenosha riots that led to his arrest, as well as his eventual acquittal by jury and the angry reaction of the mainstream media and Democrats including President Biden.
Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted in the shooting deaths of two men, Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, as well as the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, whom he shot through the right bicep after the protester pointed a pistol at him.
Kyle Rittenhouse:
Rittenhouse told Carlson that he was staying at the home of a friend during the Kenosha riots and was mystified and troubled by the lack of resources provided to the police force in trying to quell the violence after the shooting of Jacob Blake.
“I’m not really sure [where the police presence was], because they have a hard job – but I didn’t really think they got the support they needed,” he said.
CNN:
Rittenhouse recalled the first time he saw Rosenbaum, who he noted he had never met, and was taken aback by the violent nature of the man.
Rosenbaum, a convicted child abuser, also appeared to unsettle nearby rioters at the time, Rittenhouse said.

When asked by Carlson, Rittenhouse remarked that the rioters were “dissociating with him because he was spewing the n-word around and they didn’t seem to want to deal with him.”
He then went on to recount the events that led to him shooting the three men, including Huber, who smacked him in the head with a skateboard.
