Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., demanded President Biden “publicly apologize” to Kyle Rittenhouse for suggesting that he was a White supremacist during Biden’s 2020 campaign.
Rittenhouse was acquitted on Friday of all charges in the high-profile case that stemmed from the Kenosha, Wisconsin, riots last summer.
During his presidential campaign, Biden included an image of Rittenhouse in a video he tweeted attempting to link former President Trump to White supremacists. Biden was asked on Friday about his past characterization of Rittenhouse but declined to answer directly whether he stands by it.
