Social media exploded over Kyle Rittenhouse’s complaint that his attempts to contact President Joe Biden have been met with “crickets, nothing.” The uproar demonstrated exactly why the young man began The Media Accountability Project (TMAP).

Rittenhouse, 19, sat down for a discussion with Jenna Ellis, a former senior legal adviser for President Donald Trump, to talk about how his life has been since his acquittal. He was found not guilty after shooting three protestors, which killed two of them, during the 2020 riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Despite his acquittal, he has continually been dragged through the mud and the persistent defamation from the media and campaign propaganda from Biden has led him to be fearful to participate in normal activities. “I’ve been alright, but it’s been a little difficult,” he explained.
