Kyle Rittenhouse, who has been smeared by the media as a “murderer,” “vigilante,” and a “white supremacist,” worked multiple jobs as a kid, including serving as a janitor and fry cook, to help support his mother Wendy Rittenhouse and two sisters.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night, before his exclusive sit-down interview with Rittenhouse, emphasized the class divide between the 18-year-old’s media elite critics and the boy’s upbringing.

“It’s hard to ignore the yawning class divide between Kyle Rittenhouse and his many critics in the media,” Carlson told his views. “Rittenhouse comes from the least privileged sector of our society; during high school he worked as a janitor and a fry cook to help support his family. Last year, he got into college at Arizona State, and he’s very proud of it. In the world Kyle Rittenhouse grew up in, it’s not a given that kids go to college — not even close.”

According to a profile in The New Yorker, Rittenhouse’s parents are separated. His mother Wendy Rittenhouse works as a nurse’s assistant to support her three children. The teen’s father, who lives in Kenosha, has struggled with addiction and has not always employed.
