Elected Democrats and progressive activists are condemning the outcome of Kyle Rittenhouse’s jury trial while calling for civil unrest and slandering the acquitted teen as a “murderer.”
“Kyle Rittenhouse is living proof that white tears can still forestall justice,” Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) said. “A murderer is once again walking free today — our system is terribly broken.”
Dyjuan Tatro, a senior adviser to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), called for civil unrest following the verdict, tweeting, “no justice, no peace.” Tatro himself is a criminal ex-gang member who served time for racketeering and shooting two rival gang members before joining the DCCC.
